• Ramblings 11 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  An item on the radio yesterday prefaced an report on speeding with the notion that it was responsible for "one third of fatal accidents". This is undoubtedly someone's opinion, but to hear it presented as undisputed fact was a bit unsettling. Does anyone know if it comes from a more reliable source

• Removing the battery from a modern car? 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)

• Lorry Fires 22 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  The M25 was closed in part of Essex today due to a lorry fire (luckily for me, I didn't need to use that section, as I came off at J2 for the A2 just before the tunnel). The reports on the radio were talking about a "lorry fire". It seems to me that this is a fairly regular occurance
