• Opel Kadetts? 19 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Seemed very odd for new left hand drive cars to be transported around the country. Wouldn't GM be making their left hand drive cars at their continental plants?
• I want a fuller full beam 30 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Driving along lonely Highland roads at night, I often feel that full beam (on my Berlingo) is not full enough. I would like to be able to see further along the road, as well as a wider area beside the road, so that night driving was more like day driving.
• Road pricing - pay as you drive 10 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Are motorists in Norfolk for example now to be the subjects of a pilot scheme to be given exemption from road tax? How will that work if they drive outside the test area? Or is the whole idea simply a way of raising even more money, without any intention of it being an alternative to conventional pricing?
• Drink driving limit review 15 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  The drink driving limit is in the news as the government has turned down a suggestion of a lower limit for under 21s. That might be a slightly strange suggestion. However, I think the law needs tightening. Currently if you are over the 80 mg limit, that is a serious motoring offence and you get a 1 year ban, yet if you are just under the limit no offence has been committed.
• Driving awareness course 27 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  His car contol is ok, its the awareness thats the problem. Are there any courses I can send him on to improve awareness and driving standards ? Not really looking at advanced stuff just basics .
• driving to germany 3 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  My sister has moved to germany as part of her uni course and is living in berlin for 1 year, I am considering driving to visit her - is it a good idea? Anyone know how long it will take to get to Berlin? I am 18 yrs old and i passed in feb - is that a bad idea for me? Do insurance companies slap alot onto the premium for euro cover?
• Limit teenage driving ?? 2 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Read an interesting article on A-express website, basically says that 1 in 4 deaths caused by dangerous driving are the fault of the under 20's & the safety body "BRAKE" wants to introduce certain limits on this age group. h**p://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/57161/teen_clampdown_call.html Personally think that with the ever increasingly powerful cars available these days certain limitations are probably a good idea, although I also think that anyone buying a "very high performance" car should have to take some type of "speed awareness" course, not just under 20's.
• Driving in Cyprus 7 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Interesting at night time Traffic in side roads does not always give way and the ubiquitous pick up trucks often drive down the wrong side of the road initially when making a right turn. Still, petrol was only 43 cents a litre (~ 52 p) -- I wasna fu but just had plenty.
• I want new fog lights 11 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Not just any old fog lights though - I want the special ones that are *SO* bright that they somehow make it safe to drive at 80+mph in torrential rain and an inch of standing water. Just like the RAV4 that went past me on the A40 last night, in fact. What's best is that (apparently) if you switch on the special "I can drive however I want" fog lights at the same time as your "I can park anywhere" hazard lights, it becomes safe to use a handheld mobile phone while driving!
• Let there be light 6 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  How many people would admit they have difficulty driving at night?
• Driving into London 30 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  My question for the great knowledge-base which is the back room is - does anyone have a better idea. The ideal for us would be to drive to a Zone 1 tube station and park, which we don't mind paying for. Surely Park and Tube is do-able? Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions Andy
• Driving Improvements ? 20 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I had an interesting discussion with someone who has not driven in this country for around 10 years. He now drives in London and in some of the home counties. He tells me that (to him) is is very noticeable that drivers now, generally, are observing speed limits much more that previously and he concludes that this is probably due to the great increase in the numbers of speed cameras etc.
• Driving an automatic 20 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  This is my first automatic and I have immediately noticed both poorer performance at low speeds and overall much higher petrol consumption. Leaving aside the possibility of there being a fault with the new car, I wonder if I'm not driving the automatic correctly? Has anyone any tips to get the best economy/performance combination or can let me know about anywhere I can read up on this? Thanks
