  • Driving on side lights 24 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    I followed the BMW for a couple of miles until he/she turned off the motorway, looking back I could see he/she was driving on sidelights, or to make matter worse, one sidelight. I doubt if the people who drive with sidelights ever bother to check if they are working, so they could be blindly unaware that they have no lights because their dashboard lights are on.
  • Racer type cars, new advanced driving test? 14 Feb 2008 (Forum)
    A guy about my age (old enough to know better) was standing next to it not making eye contact with passing traffic. Point is, with traction control and front wheel drive making powerful cars safer from spins, should this type of car need advanced training like a big bike in order to be licensed to drive one? I`m refering to powerful rear wheel drive where there is no traction control or where it can be switched off.
  • Driving Other Cars, Insurance Q 21 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    I am 24yrs old, when I took out my current years insurance I was 23. I am with Budget but my current policy is underwritten by Inter Hannova. I currently have the 'drive other cars' extension on my policy. It was a bit of a surprise when I got this facility from Budget being under 25 and all, but it is very useful thing to have-share the driving with a mate on a trip out, borrow a family car to nip to the shops, take the old man's Cooper S out for a spin etc.
  • Grandad's Accord auto - advice? 16 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    Apart from that it drives and shifts fine. I have a horrid suspicion it might be to do with the fact that my Grandad shifts into neutral at every set of traffic lights he comes to. One other thing - the engine seems to idle when cold (according to the rev counter) at under 500RPM when in drive.
  • Advanced Driving Test - worth the money? 15 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    What is Sparkle?! I guess it's all about making progress, driving at the speed limit when the road is clear etc etc. My problem with this is that I'm a bit of a Sunday driver when it comes to country lanes, where the speed limit may *be* 60mph, but I'm damn well not going to drive at 60mph because country lanes scare me!
