• Automatic Only Licence 29 May 2019 (Forum)
  A lady I know is coming up to 40. She started learning to drive half a lifetime ago but never followed it through. Now with a young son she is keen to start driving as public transport cannot be relied on. She wants to go for an automatic licence but her partner (who coincidentally drives an automatic) wants her to go for a manual one.

• Declining HGV Driving Standards? 12 Dec 2014 (Forum)
    Without wishing to be negative there does seem to be a fair number of HGV drivers driving to a very poor standard not expected by someone that drives for a profession.  Is this down to pressure of work? Perhaps furstration due to being set difficult delivery targets? Has anyone else noticed the declining standards?
• None - Refresher Driving Lessons 31 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  She got back behind the wheel as soon as she reasonably could do so, but remains rather nervous, particularly on dual carriageways / motorways where she is in mortal dread of somebody lurching out in front of her (the cause of her original accident). What would be the best route for some refresher and advanced driving lessons? Bear in mind she had been driving happily for nearly 20 years beforehand. I''m not sure if IAM is the right solution.

• Ford Fiesta (2000 - 2002) - 01 1.8 O/S drive shaft bearing 29 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Got a 51 reg courier van (fiesta) with a rumble on the O/S drivers side drive shaft,it's the bearing that's bolted to the engine. Can I repalce the bearing or do I have to replace the entire shaft?? I'm driving the van over to the south of Spain and this is very annoying as it's causing bad wheel wobble and vibration.
• Bigger cars harder to drive???? 27 May 2007 (Forum)
  Rather than clog up a thread that's discussing the merits of a particular model, I pose this sub-question: Why do people, particularly ladies, think that bigger cars are harder to drive? By way of evidence, I've seen girls of 17, with no experience, learn to drive in an Army HGV 3 lorry, never taking a car test, and they managed fine. As Lud and others on the thread point out, many larger cars are far more relaxing, refined and just as easy to position, even in tight parking spaces.
