• Physical Fitness and driving 5 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  There a many books on physical fitness in general : does anyone know if there is anything available where advice is given on maintaining and improving fitness specifically related to driving.

  Hi all Is it usual to drive in 3rd at 30mph? I always drive in 4th at this speed but revs aren't even 2000rpm in 3rd at 30mph in my Yaris. Suggestion I had was to change gear at about 2500rpm. Any ideas?

• Alcohol levels and driving 29 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  My wife and I often eat out of an evening and living where we do it always means travelling which also means in effect driving. I often wonder how much wine I can legaly enjoy and remain within the legal level to drive. For instance if we share a bottle of wine between us 50/50 would you think that would be ok to drive? I don't feel over the limit at that quantity.

• Test drives ? 5 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Just a quick question regarding test drives at main dealers . Can I be cheeky and ask for an all weekend test drive just to see if both wifey and I are happy with a car . Or do all dealerships maintain a quick test drive ? Reason for the question is , we have never bought a brand new car before , and spending just over 10k I just need to be sure its the right car for us .
• New Anti Drink/Drive campaign 18 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Caught sight of the new don't Drink and Drive TV campaign the other night - see here: http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/drinkdrive/drinkdrive.htm One question - why's it aimed at young people (17-29) AGAIN?! I don't know anyone in that age bracket who drinks and drives at all, yet I know loads of people my dad's age who insist they are still safe to drive after 'just one or two'.

  A recent press article stated that the number of people taking driving tests is deminishing because they are told,the exam is too difficult,particulary the theory tests.Consequently they are not bothering taking any driving test at all.Therefore we have the usual senario of people driving around with no licence,no tax,no insurance etc.Any suggestions how we can get solve this problem?

• Honda CR-V - Does new shock absorbers increase the driving comf 26 Sep 2022 (Forum)
  Hi, I would like ask if I can do anything to increase comfort of driving of my old CR-V (2009)? My current driving experience in this car is like driving a pick-up truck (driving is stiff / firm, lots of under the car noise, little like driving a tractor ), but CR-V is also a family car.
