• Motorway Driving 10 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  I can't find it in search but I seem to remember he got flak about his comment. I find that in a normal driving conditions you can see the brake lights coming on way ahead and you have prior warning of traffic slowing. When stuck behind a van you react only to his slowing down. Given that one of the best pieces of legislation in recent years was to ban HGVs from the outside lane, shouldn't the Government consider extending this to Vans, People Carriers and Range Rover type vehicles?

  All in one: A Skoda Superb 272 HP 4x4 saloon or estate in Sportline trim may fit the bill if he can get over the badge with 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. It's no lower than a M5 and will hold an awful lot more. Fun to drive? Maybe not so much in corners but assured with four wheel drive and will pull caravan if need be.

• Institute of Advanced Motorists 15 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  There has been much discussion on this forum over recent weeks of road rage and inconsiderate drivers, I was wondering how many members of the B.R. are actually members of the I.A.M., and whether they feel their membership has improved their driving techniques and anticipation of potential accidents and bad driving by other road users.????

• Ford Fiesta - Fiesta MK7 battery light issue 30 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  My 2011 fiesta 1.25 has an annoying problem where the battery light keeps coming on,  mostly on longer drives.  it's been like this for a while but the car has always been fine apart from the light.   While driving at the weekend the light came on again but this time more lights came on and the car started to drive weird (power steering and ABS stopped working) Stopped the car and turned it off, when trying to restart the battery was flat.
