• Unintentionally driving down private road 2 Aug 2022 (Forum)
  Whilst 'driver 1' is amending the destination on the side of the road (with poor signal) a car comes down from the private section beyond the fence and this 'driver 2' blocks 'driver 1', says "alright" and tells their passenger the plate number of "driver 1" and drives further down the road stopping on the side. 'Driver 1' having corrected their navigation after a few mintues, now drives towards entrance, past 'driver 2' (who could have stopped to record them on the road).

• FIAT 500X - Exporting a car; what type of insurance does the DVLA need? 3 Jul 2017 (Forum)
  I have issues getting insurance cover in Ireland for various reasons and the one company that will insure me (AXA) have said they could only cover me for a day or two of driving over here as it wouldn't be like the usual 31 days holiday cover as the location at inception date will be in UK.This won't work as it will be three weeks from purchasing car (driving it from garage to my house here and three weeks later driving it home).

• Land Rover Discovery drivers - 25%! 4 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  <*** class="editorial " src="http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/mSo.PoAWyrAvw2Tt2a_CYw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYzMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/423/2012/02/01/Discovery-jpg_165758.jpg" alt="" width="630" /> Research revealed that Citroen Saxo VTR drivers are worst for driving under the influence whilst Peugeot 106 GTI owners are least likely to comply with traffic lights. Stats also showed that Ford Galaxy Zetec owners are caught most often using their phones while driving.
• Upto £8k for a new'ish car 28 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  The budget I have been set is up to £8k although ideally £7.5k of course that all depends on what exactly I can come up with and if it meets my parents approval. Currently I’m driving around a 10yo Vauxhall Agila 1.0l which is leaking all over my dad’s drive way and is not exactly a decent car but if it were not leaking it would probably be sticking around until it completely falls to bits.
• 2005 ford focus ghia tdci 2.0 136 - TDCI engine problem, can anyone help. 6 Dec 2010 (Forum)

• BMW 320D SPORT 2004 - BMW 320D Does Dual Mass Flywheel needs replacing? 6 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  Anyway,  I asked them to put it back together as they said the clutch was not at fault but would need replacing along with the DMF. I have since been driving it round and it drives like the day I had it.   Surely if the DMF was in such bad state as they said I would encounter some sort of issues with it?!?   It drives really smooth with no judder or slip which makes me think they are trying it on.
• Leaving a 12 car gap at all times 20 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  On the motorway, we drive much too close to the car in front. Even on almost empty roads cars can commonly be observed driving convoy 1 car length apart. Driving closer than 6-12 car lengths distance at any speed on the motorway provably causes tailbacks[1].
• Vauxhall Vectra B (1995 - 1999) - 97 1.8 petrol (?) Stalling engine & ign. light. 17 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  The car after i have driven about 20miles then park and then get back in just after i have started driving again ( i basically drive from work to parents house, pick up son then drive home again) i normally pull into the same road (my parents road) and reverse out. Anyway it has started to stall at this place mainly and then the ignition light comes on.
• Lancia - Ypsilon, driving experience. 25 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  Just had an interesting week driving around Italy in a Lancia Ypsilon - two door "luxury" supermini (http://www.lanciaypsilon.com/ypsilon/eng/home.html ) We went for the cheapest car we could hire and I must say it's impressive. Ours had climate control and was plenty big enough for me to drive, and notably wide enough.
• Company Car vs Car Allowance 18 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  A:- should I opt out or not B:- what is probably the best option I need to be looking at C:- anything else I may not have covered above The main considerations have to be financial rather than drive quality. I need something thats economical and the petrol auto just isnt around town. I'm lucky to get 30mpg and thats driving it under 3500 revs. Cheers count but to be honest, the main considerations have to be financial rather than drive quality.
• Nearly killed a child last night 20 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I have watched that advert where it shows if a car wasn't speeding it wouldn't have knocked the boy down. Now I know how true it is. I am not going to preach to anyone else or beg you to drive safely, I have read such comments in the past and it has not affected my driving. What happened last night, however, has.
• Driver training - skid pan 27 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Apparently, what I was doing is what everyone does, and is the reason why skids in front wheel drive cars are called "killer skids" by those in the training world. Format of the morning? Swan around in a rear-wheel drive car (BWM 3 series) and a front-wheel drive (Rover 216), four to a car. Spin a lot, laugh a lot.
• Losing the rear end of a BMW? 21 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Please note that I do not feel this is because I am driving like a boy racer, as the symptoms occur even when I go around roundabouts at 20mph. I think that this is caused by accelerating out of corners, which I always believed was the correct driving technique, and so, whilst the front wheels are turning slightly, the back wheels are attempting to propel the car in a different direction.
