• Lost Driving Licence, 9 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi Does anybody know how long it takes to replace a driving licence? spent most of last night looking for mine and i'm going away at the end of the month. Can you turn up and wait like passports or is their varying levels of speed depending on how much you pay?
• Auto v Manual 16 May 2004 (Forum)
  For motorway cruising, I cannot see why it makes a difference. What do others drive, and why?
• rain and headlights 15 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  surely a situation even more irritating than the boys who drive around with there fog lights on (at least you can see 'em) its the morons who drive on dual carrigeways and motorways in driving rain and spray with no headlights at all!!! it must be high time for a law that states when you have your wipers on your light go on too?
• When to Discuss Prices 22 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  I am buying a used car soon (£8,000) and wonder when should I haggle/discuss the price of the car. Do I do a test drive first and then discuss the price or should I do it the other way round? I don't want to waist time test driving something that latter I wont agree on the a price, should I then agree on the price subject to a satisfactory test drive & inspection?
• (another) Insurance question.... 10 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  Would someone please explain why it should be of any concern to an insurer just how many cars an insured has 'access' to? I can drive my wife's car as a named driver - so what? I have a 'classic' (well it's a classic to me!) separately insured which I can also drive - so what? How does that alter the fact that 99% of the time I will be driving the car for which I'm applying for insurance???
• Driving Licence Renewal 10 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  Is this a trick question i.e. if I ring to ask will I will be told "It is up to you to remember" and be penalised if I can't? I am certainly not suffering from any driving disability at present.
• Driving and phones ... 14 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Had a call today in my office, and the bloke was driving along while chatting, burbling along 19-to-the-dozen... I was getting pretty bored with the conversation, and trying to think of an excuse to get him off the line, when I heard the "woowooo" of a police siren over the line.
• Don't Drive Tired 10 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  I see the powers that be are pleading that we "Don't Drive Tired" on various motorways via overhead signs. Whilst I applaud the sentiment, do the panel feel that this will really make a tired driver pull over in the next services area for a kip? I also wonder why these signs always seem to have their messages corrupted (certainly the ones on the M27 do anyway) - Is this a national problem or just confined to the south coast?
• Driving tests 2 Jan 2002 (Forum)

• What car did you learn to drive in? 11 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  However I found a new instructor and found he taught me in a completly different way, suddenly I understood driving and he let me make all my own mistakes without nagging me constantly. He had a Clio III I found the car a bit boring but easy to drive, rather like you're driving on ice but in control. I took my test in October that year and passed with four minors.

• Chevrolet Captiva - Will I get a driving ban? 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I was stopped by the police for driving through a bus gate (I didn't think it applied at 7pm) and was just going to get a fine (no points) until they checked my details and discovered my license had been revoked. So they charged me with driving without a valid license (and later phoned me to add driving without valid insurance as having a revoked license would invalidate my policy) they seized my car and left me to walk home.
