• UK driving licence changes - from 19 January 2013 8 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  I seriously dispute a bike licence, however good, qualifies one to drive what is really a car with one fewer wheel. The new situations regulations are summed up here: http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/index/information-and-services/motoring/driver-licensing/changes-to-driving-licence-rules-from-19-january-2013/new-rules-for-vehicles-you-can-drive-and-minimum-ages.htm True it's the Northern Ireland version, but I think the rules across the UK are the same and the English web site only shows the current rules.
• How to drive an autobox 15 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Tried to email this to HJ direct from his on-line Telegraph column this week, but the system confused my computer. Answering one guy, HJ once again insisted that left-foot braking is best when driving an automatic because, as I understood it, autos cover more ground during an emergency stop situation as the drive is not disconnected instantly and a left foot straight on the brake is faster than moving the right foot from the accelerator to the brake.

  If I drive a friends car which is not currently insured (is taxed and mot'd) using the 3rd party cover of my own policy, is it legal to leave it A) parked on the road or B) in a retail shopping centre car park as I presume it would then be classed as uninsured.

• Renault Clio - Question: Renault drive shafts - Megane and Clio 8 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    He didn't keep it for long when he found out there is a significant problem with the design of the offside drive shaft.  There is a splined coupling joining two sections of the shaft together.  Sometimes known as a 'Muff' cooupling.  The splines on this coupling shred meaning drive is lost on that side.
