Next there'll be a Dispatches type program aired complaining about the destruction of the high street, the disappearance of people with money to spend, they never came back the second national house arrest was cancelled and we're going to ask why.

Is there anyone in charge anywhere in this country from number 1o down with an ounce of grey matter, towns depend on solvent people wishing to visit and spending their money to keep the centres viable.

So, what we'll do is make the roads as difficult to negotiate as possible for cars, we'll charge (fine) people with the wrong cars for daring to approach our town and because people always go shopping and visiting cities with their familes on bicycles we'll narrow the roads off and make cyclists a priority.
We'll plant dozens of signposts to make sure a few hundred stray inadvertantly into a bus lane so we can fine them.
If trhey don't give up and actually arrive at the town in their polluting killer car we'll make it as difficult as possible for the mug, sorry, punter to park and charge them over the odds too once they've fathomed out how to pay the fee, if they happen to need a pee after all this faff we'll charge them for that too if they can find a loo at all....well done Claude have a gong or three, you've made the town as inhospitable as possible, we on the council are behind you all the way.

i could go on but you get the picture, the more unpleasant complicated and frustrating you make an experience the fewer people will comply.

These same people can't understand why Amazon and those huge retail parks where parking is free and where dangerous people generally arn't lurking about have done so well.

I have not used CarPlay before. I checked Apple CarPlay is enabled both lock and unlock. At Apple CarPlay screen, I saw it searched for vehicle but could not find any. There was no inform from the infotainment screen. It was weird that I could not even charge my iPhone.

I quite like DCTs. As I've said, probably in this thread, I didn't like the DSG in my golf, but do like it in my Karoq. I don't know if they're different boxes or it was just the auto hold thing. I had one in a Mini too, and really liked it.

To drive, they're a bit jerkier than TCs at low speeds and a bit smoother on the move. They certainly seem more responsive and more efficient. The problem with them is just that they're a bit fragile....

So, your employed driver at sole undisputed fault so you're in the frame for damage.

Its not the damage as such its the time off the road, waiting for parts and bodyshop time when both vehicles should be out on hire earning money, you're also in the frame for that downtime.

Your only hope as i see it is if you can prove that said vehicles were in fact out on hire when they were supposed to be waiting for parts or bodyshop space.

Accountability from government is unfortunately an old faded memory.

Rules for them and rules for us. We are not allowed rain from our roofs to go into the waste water sewers, but water companies can discharge said sewers into the rivers, criminal which ever way you look at it....
