  What kind of licence do I need to ride a scooter? 9 Apr 2018 (News)

As with car licences, passing on an automatic motorcycle restricts the rider to automatics whether A1, A2 and A. What about trikes? If you have a full car licence (category B) then you are entitled to ride motor tricycles with a power output of greater than 15kW if you are over the age of 21.

  A Grand Monday: Vauxhall Astra 8v Envoy 2 Sep 2019 (News)
  'Ladies’ shopping car' or not, it appears to be in absolutely remarkable condition. A 1.6 Envoy automatic, it’s the absolute base model of the Mk4 Astra engine range with the exception of the gearbox and was once Vauxhall’s best-selling Motability model, which means that many of the survivors have led sheltered lives and have covered low mileages - in the case of this example, fewer than 4000 a year.  It’s wonderfully basic, right down to the black rubbing strips, lower bumpers, Doom Blue paintwork and steel wheels, which are remarkable corrosion-free.

  Frankfurt Motor Show 2015: Citroen reveals bold Cactus M concept 15 Sep 2015 (News)
  There's no four-wheel drive to speak of, but the   Cactus M does get Citroen’s Grip Control system to help the front-wheels find grip on slippery surfaces, such as mud or wet grass. Power comes from a 110PS PureTech petrol engine linked to an EAT6 six-speed automatic transmission. There's no word on production yet – given the wackiness of the concept it’s unlikely to arrive in showrooms, but don’t rule it out entirely – there could be a less bonkers 4x4 version of the C4 Cactus instead.
