• Return to driving after 17 years 18 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  time she drove again. My thinking was to get her enrolled at a local driving school again who perhaps specialise in this, I was thinking of doing this as an IOU Christmas present. Anyone got any ideas on how to proceed or perhaps a different way of approaching this? Thanks
• HGV driving for a year 30 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Just an idle question, really. Lots and lots of websites out there all promising that with sufficient effort it's possible to earn £600/week driving HGVs (I imagine that's 50 hours+), is it actually possible to achieve this soon after passing the test? All these companies are trading under
• Fine & Points for eating while driving 21 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7834611.stm It's a shame that these stories never give the information one would really like to have - in this case, was the ticketee actually judged to be driving without due care and attention, or not being in control of her car - in other words, was there any
• "6+ points may prohibit your application" 18 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I nearly crashed my car when I heard those words on the radio as part of a job ad tonight for driving instructors, together with the stipulation that a UK or EC licence is required. I've just checked the ad on line and it's true. So you can learn to drive on the right and (apart from our Irish
• Do people drive rental cars differently? 6 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  We are often advised here to be careful about buying ex-rental/company cars as they are often abused. Now how exactly people abuse them? I was examining my own driving habits whenever I got a rental car and found that I am guilty of following :) 1. Never waited engine to warm up before

• UK driving vs Candian Standards. 3 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Having just returned from Canada, it was such a joy to drive over there doing some 1500 miles. No Big Brother Cameras, Passing either side, Giving way to each other to merge, Just indicate to change lanes (No problem), Who cares about speed limits and Pedestrians having the right of way crossing
• Citroen Saxo (1997 - 2003) - Loud banging when driving 17 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  on driving but was still happening so turned around and limped home in it... As I said, the banging is rhythmic - the faster I go, the more (quickly) it bangs but still at regular intervals... Anyone got any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks
• Changing an ignition coil on a MkV Golf 30 May 2007 (Forum)
  Is it easy? My *third* ignition coil seems to have died on me whilst driving to work this morning. This leaves me 80 odd miles away from home with a car that doesn't feel like driving. I am pretty certain it's the ignition coil again. Unsurprisingly none of the VW Garages could fit me in today
• Driving Lights Wiring Help 9 May 2007 (Forum)
  Hi Guy's and Girls I wonder if I could ask some advice please. I have bought some Maxtel Driving Lights which did not come with any wiring kit which is not a problem in itself as I can do this myself. However, the question is this: I am a little confused as there is only one wire coming form
• What is a "motoring emergency"? 29 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  cover for me to drive my grandma around in her own car? I'm actually insured on the policy as a named driver, but it may be cheaper to remove me if I'm only going to drive the car with my grandma in it. There's nothing specific named in the policy booklet, it simply says that the insurance policy
• Golf mk2 misfire 3 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  approx 40 seconds i can let it idle its self and the misfire goes. now if i drive it straight to work, after 5-10mins of steady driving it starts to miss again and the only way to clear it is pull up and idle. the problem does not occur if i fully let the car warm up idling and then drive it.
• Driving to Stirling from north of Perth 31 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  on the other carriageway and finally turning left on the north junction to the A9. It's a complete a pain in the ass, with queues to leave the motorway and queues to rejoin it. The diversion probably makes you drive at least 8 miles needlessly. Better just heading through Perth to the A9. It's exactly what
• Driving Down Through France 11 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Next Summer we are planning to drive down to the Perpignon area from the channel ports. We know to avoid the first week in August as all of France is on the road then. If was looking for advice on the following points :- 1) I estimate it is about 750-800 miles, is this feasible to do in 2 days

• Vectra on the drive 3 May 2005 (Forum)
  on the ZT. Most of all, I miss the noise and torque of the V6. Overall I'm happy with it and I actually think it's nicer to drive than my work 3.2. Doesn't bother me that it's got a Vauxhall badge. And I'm determined to keep it longer than my usual two years.......cough!!
• Computer related questions. Volume 42 7 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  The new laptop is fab, only problem is McAffee, which is driving me mad and is set to be removed if it doesn't buck its ideas up ;) I was a bit surprised to receive the hard drive from my old laptop in the post this morning, as I thought it was gone forever. Luckily I did back up all the important
