  A lot of my driving is on largely deserted country roads and I'd love to have a pair of long range driving lights that come on witn main beam like I had on an XR3i and a XR2 years ago, but they don't seem to be available any more.
• Alcohol levels and driving 29 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  My wife and I often eat out of an evening and living where we do it always means travelling which also means in effect driving. I often wonder how much wine I can legaly enjoy and remain within the legal level to drive. For instance if we share a bottle of wine between us 50/50 would you think that would be ok to drive? I don't feel over the limit at that quantity.

• Test drives ? 5 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Just a quick question regarding test drives at main dealers . Can I be cheeky and ask for an all weekend test drive just to see if both wifey and I are happy with a car . Or do all dealerships maintain a quick test drive ? Reason for the question is , we have never bought a brand new car before , and spending just over 10k I just need to be sure its the right car for us .
• New Anti Drink/Drive campaign 18 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Caught sight of the new don't Drink and Drive TV campaign the other night - see here: http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/drinkdrive/drinkdrive.htm One question - why's it aimed at young people (17-29) AGAIN?! I don't know anyone in that age bracket who drinks and drives at all, yet I know loads of people my dad's age who insist they are still safe to drive after 'just one or two'.
• Driving tests-or lack of them 29 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  A recent press article stated that the number of people taking driving tests is deminishing because they are told,the exam is too difficult,particulary the theory tests.Consequently they are not bothering taking any driving test at all.Therefore we have the usual senario of people driving around with no licence,no tax,no insurance etc.Any suggestions how we can get solve this problem?

• Honda CR-V - Does new shock absorbers increase the driving comf 26 Sep 2022 (Forum)
  Hi, I would like ask if I can do anything to increase comfort of driving of my old CR-V (2009)? My current driving experience in this car is like driving a pick-up truck (driving is stiff / firm, lots of under the car noise, little like driving a tractor ), but CR-V is also a family car.
• Driving long distances 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  My wife doesn't like flying, so we regularly drive down to Austria - have been for 28 years. This involves driving around 900 miles each way. We take it easy, with an overnight stop. Our usual practice is to drive for about 2-2 & a half hours each, then swap over, taking a short break in between.
• Driving to France 31 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  Hi all, I was originally going to go in summer but due to personal reasons as well as work etc couldn't, however we are finally embarking on our French driving adventure! I've familiarised myself with everything I'll need because I was quite rightly told to have a look at their driving laws which slightly differ to here in the UK.  Since this will be my first time driving in France I was wondering if anyone know s of anywhere which sells everything required for driving over there?

• Focus, Transit connect, Mondeo etc - Ford TDci PcM reset 31 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I've heard various ideas (after disconnecting the battery for a time to "clear the memory") including "warm the engine on tickover then drive for 10 miles", "drive slowly"  "drive fast" "drive normally" etc etc. So after the battery has been disconnected for a few hours is there a "right" way to do it, or do you just drive the vehicle?
• Nissan Primera II (1996 - 1999) - Motorway driving made easy... 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  I currently drive a Nissan Primera SX and love the comfort and security but as I'm using it mainly for two long distance drives of around 500 miles a week I was thinking of downsizing to a smaller car and saving money on petrol.

• Driving Instructors 1 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Until we tighten up on standards being taught, the poor driving which causes most cases of road rage and accidents will continue to get worse. We need to train people to drive and obey the rules of the road, not just to pass a test.
• Fog driving 14 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  Another morning driving in the fog. And the usual minority who drive without dipped headlights. Including a learner driver with an "experienced" teacher. Many cars are fitted with lights that automatically illuminate in such conditions.
