• Driving Pleasure 17 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Just wondering, with the increased petrol costs traffic jams etc, - does anyone still just get in the car for the sake of it and go for a drive somewhere for me the greatest way to "chill" is to take my car out somewhere some good tunes on the CD player and drive off for a couple of hours through the country ( i dont go tearing through at great speed) I just like to drive and the feeling it brings, I dont get the same feeling driving to work becasue ive got work on my mind but after work i just think about the pleasures of driving my car - but i feel more and more guilty with constant reminders of air pollution, high petrol prices, and road space (but at the same time it does not stop me) Anyone else feel the same?

• Ride and Drive 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Just spent four hours advanced driver training with Ride and Drive. I must say I enjoyed it immensely and picked up some really good tips. A lot of the advanced driving outfits are long way from where I live but Ride and Drive operate all over the UK. So for those of you who want to improve your driving at very reasonable cost and aren\'t likely to get a course paid for by your company I can recommend them.

• All - EVs front or rear wheel drive? 25 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  I am not in the market for an EV so have not given the question of F or R drive any thought until I was reading a report on the VW ID3 which is rear drive.  My question is are all these EVs rear driven and what could the implications on the road be as to driving in snow?  Also how does servo braking differ from your conventional car?

• Jailed for "wanton and furious driving" 15 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I see someone who killed a pedestrian by colliding into them on their cycle has been jailed for 7 months under the 19th century offence of "wanton and furious driving causing bodily harm". Full story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/8197430.stm But he's also been banned from driving for 12 months... (so it is driving related) Not heard of this old offence before.
