• Doing the right thing for friend - Giving up driving 31 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  Lady friend, 71 got a letter from DVLA  saying they were making further enquiries about her ability to drive following her latest renewal application. Was panicking as going awaythis weekend driving. Have simply told her to see her GP with the forms and to do it and return to DVLA within the next 14 days, so that her licence isn't revoked and that she can drive under section 88 if GP says ok.
• Drive-on train to Lyon next summer? 1 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I have been given a two-day break at a luxury hotel in Lyon and wonder if anyone has experience of drive-on train services to the area? I live in the Midlands, am keen to take the car - a MINI Clubman - so that I can fill it with wine on the drive back but am reluctant to drive both ways because of the time.
• Progressive Driving 7 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  As a follow on to the thread about defensive driving, we all know there is a fine line between progressive and aggresive driving. What do you do you do to practice progressive driving and where is the line drawn before it becomes aggresive? I always try and keep moving when entering a roundabout by observing the traffic joining at the entry before mine and altering my speed to avoid stopping, however if that entails bullying my way up the outside lane of the slip road and narrowly missing the traffic on the nearside, then it becomes aggresive.
• £73 Not to drive a Mondeo? 6 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  The V70 is quieter but the Mondeo has more cabin space and a more engaging drive. My question:- Is it worth paying £73 a month more to drive a V70 over a Mondeo.

• Insurance for test-drive 21 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I'm contemplating selling the Badgermobile privately, probably on ebay. Not yet fully decided, but one matter that bothers me is insurance for test drives. I feel it quite unreasonable to expect anyone to buy a car without first driving it -- a ride as a passenger conveys little -- but I want the car fully insured for this. While a prospective purchaser would normally be able to drive my car on his own insurance (if he had any) it would be the minimum RTA cover only.
• Great Driving music compilations 25 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Hi all, I'm organising a sales conference for a client and I'd like to give away a CD compilation of great driving music to delegates as the theme is F1/performance driving. Can anyone point me towards a CD compilation currently available on the high st. The age of the delegates is 25-35 yrs old so nothing too old.
• Smoking whilst Driving 8 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  The subject of smoking whilst driving came up in another topic and I though it was worth of one all of its own (awww bless!). How many people here smoke whilst driving and do you think it increases the danger? Has anyone been pulled over by plod for smoking?
• Smart driving? 25 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Every time I see one of these horrid creations, it is being thrashed to within an inch of it's life, such as coming home this evening, with one driving up the middle of a wide A-road, overtaking all the 60MPH traffic, with traffic also coming the other way. If I was forced to drive one, I would do so as unobtrusively as possible, because the embarrassing looks alone would guarantee too much attention, without poor driving adding to it!
• Self driving. - Non skilled driving 1 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  ocid=msedgdhp&pc=ASTS&cvid=e48e2184ba074e84ba9057c3b753156f&ei=6">What are the six SAE levels of self-driving cars?

• Driving in the dark 1 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  With the sun setting earlier and earlier, we're all doing a lot more night-driving - an experience which, to me at least, feels just the same as daytime-driving, except the sky's a different colour. I can still see perfectly adequately, and drive at the maximum safe speed for each road I'm on, whether lit or unlit.
