• Suzuki Jimny 1.3 JLX+ 1 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  We are thinking of buying one. It is is for semi-rural driving, max. 6,000 mls/yr, to keep 5 yrs max. Should we be overly worried by absence of airbags? Opinions on any aspect of car (reliability, driving in snow, etc.) most welcome.

• Front Tyre Lifetime 16 May 2005 (Forum)
  How long would you expect a set of fronts to last on a front wheel drive car? Obviously, I tend to drive rather harshly so expect them to last accordingly. Just curious what others tend to get out of theirs in terms of years/miles?

• Insurance simple question 13 May 2003 (Forum)
  If you drive a car owned by another person on your 'any car insurance' does the car have to be insured in its own right? OK If you park and leave it there maybe an issue. Is driving another persons untaxed car to a prearrranged MoT acceptable?

• question re: bus lanes 5 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Having recently been fined (and not for the 1st time) for contravening a bus lane, I no longer look to drive in them. BUT.... some bus lanes here in London are 24 hour ones, but there are no 24 hour bus services to drive in them. Isn't this a little bit strange?
• How to get rid of old Sierras 5 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Drive them to Antibes (South of France), drive them around for a couple of years (untaxed and presumably no MOT), then dump them in the harbour area to rot. Was there recently and saw loads of the last taxed in 99/2000, crazy.

• What happens if someone passes away? (insurance) 3 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  Also, car may get taken away if uninsured on public road  or fines etc...   The other option is to drive the car off road somewhere else, but can the Son drive it to do this? If insurance is not renewed. Then it will need to SORN and it is a pain for test driving a car.... As have to insure and re-tax.

• Driving test rules? 5 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  Fortunately, I've passed my driving and riding tests. I'm not aware of any books that list the rules and what is expected in the tests. Why does the DSA not publish a set of rules so that people know how to drive during the test? When I did my riding test I had to do  a whole day of tuition to find out what I didn't know.
