• Driving in Philippines 20 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  people were all that reckless. Next time I thought I'd be content to drive myself. One good thing with the driver is not having to circle round looking for (scarce) parking though. Thoughts?
• Psychometric driving test 9 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  An "expert" is urging the adoption of psychometric assessment as part of the driving test. He says we need to get beyond hand/eye coordination and deal with drivers' attitudes. We need to be able to correct unacceptable levels of risk-taking, giving as examples jumping red lights and speeding
• Silly people driving dangerous cars 7 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  My girlfriends Ka has had a suspension knock for a while now. I've pointed out that her coil is bent but she still continues to drive it. Yesterday I told her to check the MOT as it may be due soon, so I got the chassis number and checked online, the MOT was due last week. She dosn't seem
• Drink Driving 26 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Not sure if anyone can offer any advice but here goes anyway. My brother was pulled for Drink driving last night he was over the limit at 84mg. He's never done anything wrong in his life and at the moment is quite upset. He's got to appear in court on Wednesday and he's got lots of things running
• 2000 Vaux Vectra ?Brake pads 22 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  The past 2 days I've noticed a strange smell coming from my front wheels post driving. The pads were changed in May of this year and although there is no problem with braking I'm thinking that the brakes are rubbing, although I'm not sure. Any suggestions? If this is the case how much should I

  ramps or anywhere to safely drain away the oil, is it safe to drive the car about 2 miles to the garage to have the oil changed, or will it cause damage..?
• Drive-in MOT 6 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Early today I went to my usual MOT garage (I've just realised that I have been going there on and off for nearly 40 years!) for a drive-in MOT. "Sorry gov, you'll need to make an appointment, now we are computerised" It seems that the testers have to allow an hour for each test and therefore
• BBC1 - Traffic Cops 2 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Numerous discussions on past episodes of this TV programme, but did anyone see last nights? Right at the start of the programme one of the officers (Bob, I think his name was) was seen chasing a 'dizzy' (disqualified driver) driving an Astra. Did anyone else spot the officer wasn't wearing his
• Wrong way along a motorway 17 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  A man has just been imprisoned for 14 months for driving the wrong way along the M62 and M60 at speeds up to 110MPH. The police used a stinger to stop him but he did a U turn and drove on on his wheel rims. What on earth leads a man to deliberately drive like that? Many years ago on the M20 I

• Ooops -- sorry. 12 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Yesterday, driving on a day when my judgement may not have been all that it should be (what's new, asks Lady Stripey), I made a bit of a Horlicks of taking a roundabout and slightly incommoded another driver. It was indifferent driving on my part, and I was totally in the wrong. Must do better

• Bad driving in the wet 9 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Here we are again, lashings of rain on the M6 today all the cars are slowing except a huge artic who was going faster than everyone else, then woke up, luckily we all missed. I now think driving on a wet skid pan should be part of the test, so many people think their car is still going to grip
• 4 Wheel drive (cars) 30 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  I'd be interested in hearing views on the merits (?) of 4 wheel drive as fitted to road cars (not off-roaders). Typically Quattro with Audis. Presumably there is a loss of accelaration and fuel efficiency? ...more drag, two gearboxes. Also given typical UK weather is rarely extreme, and roads
