• Wedding Bells - idiot local driver! 23 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  "Travelling at such great speeds in a busy residential area is reckless in the extreme and seems to indicate that this young man has no respect for other road users or even for someone else's property, because he was driving a hired vehicle." A police docket for the three separate charges of reckless and/or negligent driving had been opened at the Goodwood police. Latest news is that the bloke was arrested at home yesterday morning.
• Learning to drive manual transmission--Question 5 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Hey, y'all: Here's a story that might make you cringe: One day when I was seventeen and had recently got my driving licence, my dear father decided he was going to take me out in his car and teach me to drive a manual transmission. (I had taken all my behind-the-wheel training on automatic cars, so this was entirely new to me) So, we hopped in his '76 AMC Hornet station wagon and headed out on an empty frontage road in Minnesota.
• It's not all Black and White! 15 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I have 2 cars A Volvo C70 T5 Auto and a VW Bora 1.9TDI Auto. I drive 38 miles each way to work so 384 miles week. I've driven both cars to work for a week and worked out the average Fuel Consumption for each The Volvo 35mpg and the Bora 47mpg. Doing my sums it will cost me at todays fuel prices £553 a year more to drive the Volvo to work over the bora.
• Which company car to choose ? 13 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  In two weeks time, I start a new job. After over 25 years of driving, I will be getting my first company car. The job will involve journeys of between 10 and around 300 miles, carrying a small amount of computer equipment and tools. I would expect the driving to be mostly motorway / A roads, with relatively little town / city driving.
• 'Needing' to drive fast when there is a emergency? 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  To be able to let other road users know that I was in a genuine situation 'could' have enabled me to get to the hospital sooner. As a side note, I also wonder whether at other times those people that are driving at v. high speed (i.e. 100mph +) past me are also genuinely needing to get somewhere asap. To have a means of indicating this to me would at least temper my inbuilt rage at being cut up at times ;-) At the end of the today however, I suppose that any such method is liable to misuse......
• Need new job - but driving's all I know! 25 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I'm very much feeling that I need a change but I'm stumped as to what to do next. I've done 10 years on service bus work so don't want to go back to that. I tried taxi driving before that and definitely don't want to do that! Driving is really all I know but I really need something that a) pays more and b) gives me more of a life. Any thoughts folks? Thanks in advance...
