  Review: Nextbase 412GW dash cam (productReview)
  start=109" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""> This can be a bit sensitive when driving on a rough road, but the function can be disabled or its sensitivity reduced. There is also an emergency button for saving important clips, but it would be easier to use when driving if it clicked reassuringly. Sadly it’s just a touch-sensitive button like the rest, which can be a bit of a fumble. Image quality is excellent, even in low light conditions.

  Halfords service costs and plans (Article)
  You may have no idea what is involved when it comes to getting your car serviced, but everyone should know how important it is. A car that isn’t afforded regular maintenance is more likely to break down, less likely to pass an MOT and may even use more fuel and therefore cost more money to run, so ignore the service schedule at your peril.

  Review: Vespa Elettrica (productReview)
  There are several electric scooters on the market, but the Vespa Elettrica is arguably the most important. Why? Well, because is marries all of the chic retro appeal of the firm’s Primavera model with the zero emissions of an electric motor. Too many other electric scooters look like they’re trying too hard to be stylish or green.

  Review: Shark Skwal Helmet (productReview)
  When you’re new to riding, or if you’re just using a bike as a commuting tool, spending a huge sum of money on a carbon-fibre helmet isn’t going to be top of your to-do list. But equally it’s a bad idea to go for something from the bargain bin - your head is important, after all. That’s where a mid-priced helmet like the Shark Skwal comes in. It has most of the features riders want, but it costs a perfectly reasonable £200, or less from some sellers. It also has a trick up its sleeve in the form of green LED lights to provide a little more night time visibility, or just to look good if that’s your cup of tea.

  Car seat belts or Isofix – what’s safest? (Article)
  We would always strongly recommend using Isofix, there’s less chance of a seat being fitted incorrectly. But if you have an older car, it may not have Isofix fittings, then it’s important that you ensure the seat belts are fitted properly in order to keep your little one safe.

  Cheap GAP insurance for camper vans and motorhomes (Article)
  That means you have a period after completing any GAP insurance purchase in which to change your mind; normally it is 30 days but it is important to check your specific paperwork to determine the period with your particular insurer. Less scrupulous companies may tell you a cancellation fee applies if you do cancel within the period  - if so, consider using a different insurer.
• WINTER TYRES: Should I use different tyres for the winter? (FAQs)
  As soon as the temperature drops below 7°C it makes good sense to fit cold weather tyres on your vehicle. It is important to use tyres adapted to winter driving conditions when roads are slippery and temperatures are low. Cold weather tyres are designed for driving on cold winter roads and in rain or standing water, whenever the temperature is regularly below  7°C .  A cold weather tyre gives much better grip and traction than a summer tyre in these conditions, because it has deeper tread grooves and many more sipes.
• Review: Volkswagen T2 Danbury Camper (Article)
  The Volkswagen T2 was still imported in 2009 and converted to a camper by Danbury. That old pub car bore’s adage; ‘why did they ever stop making the ....?’ (insert name of favourite, long-defunct motor here) doesn’t apply to Volkswagen’s famous, rear-engined Type 2 ‘Bay Window’ van, because it still does.

  Review: Nuna Leaf Grow (productReview)
  We really like how it looks although we do find ourselves repeatedly stubbing our toes on it, but that could be the lack of sleep that comes with a six month old... We think it's important to point out that the Nuna Leaf Grow isn't automatic. It doesn't have power and doesn't automatically swing or vibrate like some baby bouncers. Instead you simply swing it with your hand. The swinging motion is lovely and smooth but you'll have to keep pushing it every couple of minutes to keep it going.

  Top 10: Helmet cams for horse riders (Article)
  Apexcam Pro EIS Action Camera Where the Apexcam differs from many of its similar-looking rivals is that it is a little slimmer, an important factor if it is going to be attached to your riding helmet for long periods of time. Despite this, it has all the key features; electronic image stabilisation, 4K resolution at 30fps and 20MP images and a companion app for easy operation.

  Review: Hayter Harrier 48 roller mower (productReview)
  Once started, you can adjust both the engine speed and the speed at which it will propel itself and that’s important, as the weight of the Harrier 48 means that being self-propelled is essential. Being able to go as slow as 1.5mph means you can take your time on trickier areas, whereas you can increase the speed to 3.3mph for covering larger areas of lawn briskly - this adds real - and unexpected flexibility to the Harrier 48.

  Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
  The max weight is 100kg, which makes it ideal for adults wanting to spend less time in the car. However, while thousands of e-scooters are sold in the UK every year, it's important that we note that they're only legal to use on private land in the UK. Although, if you aren't riding recklessly in a built-up area - we can't imagine the police stopping you. Micro Suspension This is Micro's top of the range adult scooter, hence the price tag, but it does come with built-in suspension, 200mm wheels, soft handle grips and a kick stand.
