  Review: Red Letter Days - Superhero Car Thrill Batmobile (productReview)
  The information also explains that you can expect to be on-site for around an hour, which includes a safety briefing held in a group and your driving time. You’re promised six miles of driving, which is on a par with the more exotic supercar driving experiences you can buy and is to be expected of a car which is more about show than go.

  Review: Buyagift Half Day Classic Car Road Trip (productReview)
  You can’t choose your driving partner (unless a friend buys a voucher too) and driving classics means cruising rather than burning rubber, but this a great value voucher and likely to be a hit with fans of the older breed. Click here to buy

  Review: RAC in-car harness and seat belt connector (productReview)
  Firstly, Rule 57 of the Highway Code states,  “When in a vehicle make sure dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly." Drivers could also receive a £100 on-the-spot fine if they are seen to be distracted. And it could be stepped up to driving without due care and attention, which carries a maximum fine of £2500 and three to nine penalty points.

  Review: Alcosense Excel breathalyser (productReview)
  Should I buy one? The best thing a driver can do to avoid drink driving is easy - don’t drink any alcohol before driving. But for those rough mornings after an unexpected night out, or for the Christmas period, the Alcosense Excel is a reasonably priced way to get an accurate gauge on blood alcohol level.

  Review: Virgin Experience Days Supercar Experience (productReview)

Virgin Experience Days reckons it has the answer. What do you get? The Four Supercar Blast makes no attempt to deceive you with its name – this is your chance to get behind the wheel of four supercars, and most importantly drive them at speed.

  Review: Lenco L-400 Turntable (productReview)
  But it's easy to recommend the Lenco L-400 when it comes to sound quality. It's mighty impressive given the price. This is a direct drive turntable, something favoured by DJs, rather than a belt-driven system, which are usually cheaper. Both have their advantages and drawbacks - direct drive turntables are fast to get to speed but as the motor is directly under the platter, vibrations are fed directly to the needle.

  Review: YI Ultra Dashcam (productReview)
  The wide angle lens does produce an image that is quite rounded and there is no option to change the viewing angle, but from a safety perspective it captures as much as possible. Driving data isn’t displayed within the live screen but after 10 minutes of driving a ‘driving report’ is produced that contains speed, acceleration and braking data. Should I buy one?

  Review: Sphero Mini (productReview)
  However, when it comes down to it, the ball mostly just rolls around in one place or zooms off in a random direction whenever the required scowl, shock face or sad expression is made. But Face Drive isn't the Mini's weirdest driving method. The newly added feature, Scream Drive, lets you scream at the ball to get it rolling. Whisper to slow it down and shout to speed it up. It's bizarre but strangely addictive.

  Review: Nextbase 512GW and 512GWRC dual dash cam (productReview)
  The footage is very dark when driving into the sun in the morning, which makes it tough to recommend in some ways. Although, when it isn't so bright (when driving through the village in the above video), the footage is a bit lighter and you can see details like reg plates.

  Review: Garmin 66W (productReview)

  Review: Stoplock Pro review (productReview)
  The meat of the device is the curved main section; the middle section sits flat against the centre boss of your steering wheel while the other end curves underneath the bottom the wheel rim and rests close to (or on) the front end of the driving seat. At the other end is a stout lock, which clasps around the top of your steering wheel and is secured with high strength key. What's it like? It takes just a few seconds to put into place and the same to remove it; once secured the wheel can’t be turned even if the standard steering lock is defeated because the bottom section of the bar will collide with the seat or the legs of the person sat in the driver’s seat.

  Review: Garmin 55 dash cam (productReview)
  The Travelapse feature (timelapse to most of us) takes still images as you drive and stitches these into a movie that will show you a quick version of your journey as if you're fast-forwarding through a video. This isn’t exactly a useful feature, but it's a fun option for those that might want to catch the sun going down on a scenic drive.

  Review: Land Rover Experience Start Off Road Junior 4x4 Driving (productReview)
  Participants must be at least 11-years-old and 4ft 8in, plus a parent or guardian must be in attendance although they don’t have to ride in the vehicle during the drive. The experience is available at nine locations in England and Scotland with a broad choice of time slots, although the further ahead you book the greater choice you have. An added bonus is that it works whatever the weather - in fact, biblical rain can make it more exciting than in glorious sunshine.

  Review: Mio MiVue 688 dash camera (productReview)
  width=500&height=375" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/0046d2f264714f4fb6a06a69878bfc76" /> There’s a Headlight Reminder, which is especially helpful around this time of year when it gets dark earlier and driver's forget to put their lights on. The Fatigue Alert warns you to take a break if you've been driving for a while and can be set to remind you at two, three, or four hours. The Lane Departure Warning operates when you start drifting out of a lane on the motorway. In theory, the Eco Drive Indicator is a helpful tool to make your driving more economic.

  Review: BikeStow Original bike rack (productReview)
  Setting it up took a matter of minutes, including securing it with the aforementioned straps, and we were soon using it to transport a range of bikes - from narrow-wheeled city bikes to gnarlier mountain bikes. It's surprisingly effective. Sure, there was a bit of trepidation during our first test drive with the fully loaded BikeStow, but the adjustable 'V' sliders do a superb job of holding the wheels in place. Even with some enthusiastic driving, the bikes remained securely in position in the back of the Transporter.

  Review: Monojoy keyless car key signal blocker (productReview)
  Even if you don't have keyless start, those who can gain entry can steal anything you leave inside your car. And, if they're old-school, they could hotwire it and drive it away...

  Review: Roadhawk Vision dash camera (productReview)
  Recording quality is very good, with clear, crisp images even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. High dynamic range recording means the camera can record clearly even when driving into sunlight, with all important details visible in freeze-frame. That said, there is no GPS sensor on the Vision, so it can’t record location data or speed information, nor can it automatically set its date and time via satellite.
