• Hosepipe ban poses danger to motorists 27 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  According to a What Car journalist quoted on the radio (paraphrased). "A hosepipe ban would mean that people wouldn't able to clean their cars, meaning (shock) the lights will get dirty and (horror) the numberplates would be obscured." Normally I let stupid comments like this go over my head

  Re "Too much information" I agree that it is probably an age related problem. After over 50 years with dials, knobs and switches I do not find touch screens intuitive. Is it really necessary or safe to navigate an on screen menu when all you want to do is change the heater settings or the radio

• Drivers Pay When Small Children Injure Each Other 16 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  One has to ask how the child got hold of the 'weapon' in the first place. I was listening to an interview about this on the radio and essentially what they were saying was that it was an isolated set of circumstances that make a claim eligable and it shouldnt open any floodgates.

• Windscreen Safety 5 Jul 2006 (Forum)
