• Pushbike Incident 18 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  Any idea where I stand ? Any comments appreciated. One thing I didn't mention to them is the car reversed, stopped and reversed again (he only told me about this after. Many thanks
• A century of car evolution, and yet... 3 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  Could this be why so many drivers neglect basic maintenance?  So many of the modern goodies like "auto hold"  "hill hold", reversing cameras and countless safety features are cracking good, but I despair at (most) car manufacturers' inability to get these little details right!  
• Mercedes CLS - Reversing car incident (illustration included) 24 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  This is extremely unjust. If I was to reverse out of that space again, I honestly wouldn't do anything different. Based on their logic and the potential for fault, no-one would ever reverse out of a car-parking space. I am aware that it is recommended that cars reverse into car parking spaces, but that's simply not practical at a busy supermarket where everyone would be held up waiting for cars to reverse ahead of them.

  Kia Carens specification confusion 12 May 2013 (Ask HJ)
  I'm considering buying the new Kia Carens but have been thoroughly confused by the dealer and the Kia website which seem to contradict some of the Online...
• Nissan Primera (P12 auto) - Worth considering? 31 Oct 2024 (Forum)
  Seems that for the money, you can get one with lots of service history-I believe it's pretty crucial for the longevity of the timing chain to have had regular oil changes?  We both like the interior design, and the reverse camera and optional sat nav are attractive options, which don't seem to be present on similar family cars of similar ages.  Could anyone give me their opinion on these cars? Are they worth considering?
• Black tinted rear window driving at night 15 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  This is useful, as I like to keep out of the way of faster cars when overtaking.  It is also annoying when reverse parking at night. As you cant see much. I do have parking sensors. The rear parking camera is useless at night as all I can see is grainy black and white video and low resolution. I know many cars have rear tinted windows... but this an annoying disadvantage.
• Mitsubishi Lancer - Botched Repair on Brand New Car 15 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  I bought a brand new Lancer last month and am pleased with it. It has a fancy reversing camera viewed via the sat nav screen on it, which failed after two weeks. The car went to the dealers for repair. They had a look and need a part that has to be ordered.   I collected the car ( in the dark) whilst the bit is sourced.
• Can a CC PCN be enforced if sign wasn't crossed? 29 Dec 2022 (Forum)
  Hi, I've recently got a PCN for "entering" to the London Congestion Charge zone, whereas I stopped before the line of the sign and reversed out (I was in the street only 1-2m). It's even visible on the PCN photos (that I reversed out). See photo, the line of the sign is 2-3m more in, that just caught that I was about to turn in: https://us-noi.v-cdn.net/6031891/uploads/editor/03/turzsxdhu98c.jpg They already rejected my representation with some BS that they don't actually need to make sure I cross the line of the sign, they can put the cameras wherever they want to take the best pictures, and charge as many people as they can, starting at £80 each.

• Honda CR-V III - Parking sensors 20 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  After three 100% problem-free years, the rear parking sensors have now started playing up. The buzzer now stays on for no reason when reversing. I've checked the sensors for mud etc. , but all seems OK. The centre alarm is the only one to show on the screen. I know I can turn the whole thing off, especially with the rearview camera to help, but I like things to work on the car, however non-vital they may be.
• Motor cycle police return to Essex! 6 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  It has been announced today that Essex Police are to reintroduce a motor cycle section, a reversal of the decision five years ago to scrap them, a decision which it was predicted would see an increase in motor cycle deaths in the County. Strangely enough today's decicion uses the high death toll amongst motor cyclists on the county's roads as a reason for their reintroduction.
