• Ford Ranger - Pickup truck hit my car 10 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Pickup truck was in fourth lane and hit my car while taking exit from fourth lane to first. He was driving at 75-80mph and I couldn’t prove that he was driving fast.  Highway authorities couldn’t provide the video clip of the incident eventhough I gave the exact time & place. They had cameras around that place.

• MINI One - Problems with cooling system 5 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  The temperature gauge has been going all over the place, the fan is on pretty much the whole time I'm driving and stays on for about 2minutes after I turn off the engine, despite not being that hot. The water also seems to be disappearing, I top it up everytime I drive and after driving, the water cap is up, often has steam coming out and there's considerably less water in there.
• Crackdown on driving whilst holding your mobile 25 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35141387 What frustrates me about all this, is the number of women (almost always aged say 25 - 40, attractive, well groomed in the modern, full make up and jeans 'pornstar' look), driving expensive cars who I see on my daily drives as the main culprits.  The point of course is that all these cars have Bluetooth as standard.   My wife, who is not the most techno savvy person, is fully able to understand and implement the process needed to sych her new iPhone to the Nissan system in her Juke without requiring the assistance of husband or either of two teenager sons.
