• Any Make - Self Drive Cars 15 May 2012 (Forum)
  The latest Buzz is about cars that drive themselves, a topic that surfaces every several years when a manufacturer shows a train of cars driving in a line and that they follow each other keeping apart no matter what speed changes occur.
• Audi A3 Sportback - Driving in the Netherlands 12 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I understand that I need to use headlight deflectors if I use my dipped headlights, however I plan not to do any night driving as at is my first venture into driving in Europe. I have two questions with regard to this. As my new car is fitted with LED DRL's, this will cover me for lights during the day if visibility is good.

• CO-OP young driver insurance 21 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  So, £15 for me and ten for him - buys a couple of pints and is an encouragement for him to carry on driving sanely. He's a retained firefighter so he has seen a few car crashes but nevertheless I'm warming to the Co-Op's slightly big brother approach to young drivers. Even my own driving in that car has moderated!

  i have a 2002 petrol fiesta.  It makes a strange humming / howling sound (like wind through wires) when i drive.  It does not make the sound when standing still.  I still hear the sound when i drive and dip the clutch and also when i pull out of gear and coast.  It seems to be louder when i slow down to stop.
• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 1996 1.25 auto - Stalling problem 2 May 2011 (Forum)
  I have just purchased a second hand N reg 1996 Fiesta Zetec 1.25 LX Automatic. I have only been driving it a few days but it has stalled 3 times. It stalls after turning the engine on and trying to put it into drive. The way I have to press the brake in to put the car into drive is very different to my hubbys Renault Laguna RT (R Reg).
• Diesel Hatchbacks. 15 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  I spent almst an entire day in the focus and covered about 60 miles of driving and after still couldnt see why the focus is supposedly so much better. The Alfa looks better, has a nicer engine and far superior interior. I didnt find the focus to be as good to drive as it has been made out to be.
• eco driving - does it conflict with Roadcraft? 28 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    I thought current advanced driver training recommended 3rd gear when driving in built up areas to permit good speed control, throttle response and engine braking? Would any of the advanced or Police drivers on here care to add their thoughts about the latest advice to stick in high gear at all costs for the sake of mpg?

• Driving in snow - advice? 24 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  I had to my first snow driving tonight, my road had about 1 inch snow on it. As I left my road I felt my back wheels slipping (the rear tyres have about 5mm tread on them) and I managed to get down the road at about 10mph then slowly braked but then it felt like I lost all grip and the car skidded slightly.
• Do dealers offer unaccompanied test drives? 10 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Just wondering whether dealers offer potential customers unaccompanied test drives nowadays? I'm a private buyer, looking to buy new/nearly new, have a short list of three or four makes/models. I don't intend to rob a bank or trash a car but would really rather try the car out for half an hour or so without having to make small talk with the sales exec.
