• National Driving Styles 24 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  elephant to be negotiated, two parents plus 3 kids often seen on one moped,I twice saw lorries going the wrong way on dual carriageways, etc. But they do drive on the left!(and on the right, and the bit in the middle.). It puts all the carping about our driving into perspective. What other driving styles
• what's the point? 1 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Just heard that the penalties for dangerous driving such as driving whilst using a mobile and drink driving are going to be increased. For the former a fine of £60 and 3 points could be meted out. For the latter, banned drivers may be forced to take a retest. I can't help thinking that the real
• Driving licence expired 27 Mar 2023 (Forum)
  Is your driving licence expired if the date on the photocard is expired, or is it just the picture that needs renewing Ive read if its expired by over 2 years you may need to retake your test does anyone know if thid is true
• Winter Sun driving holiday 2 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  Is it possible to get some winter sun with a ferry trip and a drive, rather than submitting myself to the unpleasantness of air travel? I do it often enough for my liking with work, and at least then I am getting paid for it.
• Night driving glasses/shades 16 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  I'm curious as to whether or not the night driving glasses/shades that are advertised actually make a difference regarding glare ( many badly adjusted headlights about )  If so, which ones ?  My intuition is that they will have a negative effect on safety.
• Rover Curiosity - Still driving around 8 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  Slightly transport related, but many millions of milles away a rover is driving around on the red planet. I still see an awful lot of them here too. Well done, the ghosts of longbridge and cowley!
• New stricter Driving Tests to be announced today 9 May 2008 (Forum)
  In the interests of safety! New stricter Driving Tests to be announced today Does that mean less bad drivers allowed on the road? or, as the cynic might view it MORE UNLICENCED/UNINSURED Drivers?
• Describe your driving in one word. 23 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  If you had to describe your driving style in one word what would it be? I would go for "calm" and, if allowed two words, "mostly calm". Of course, SWMBO may not agree ....... _______ IanS
• Second driving offence for boy, 10 11 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/southern_counties/2981066.stm Shame that they couldn\'t threaten to disqualify the parents, then maybe that would convince them to persuade their 10 year old from driving.

• Bah! - rear wheel drive 10 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  The drive of my house is steep and surfaced in tarmc with a general smattering of loose stones which have come loose from the tarmac. I have had two diesel automatic Mercedes' on the drive this week, both RWD. Neither would slowly reverse up the drive without lots and lots of wheel spin and smoke
• USA Driving Standards 4 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  As has been mentioned previously in the Backroom, driving in the USA is normally a much calmer and more relaxed experience; and I would generally agree with those sentiments. Yet the accident rate is higher in the USA, despite their slower speeds, than UK. Well at the risk of offending our
• Anyone drive a 1.0 TSI Skoda Scala? 15 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  Hi all I went to test drive a 1.0 TSI Scala. I noticed when in traffic lights there was a slight vibration in the cabin. Once you take your foot off the clutch the stop start kick in, and the engine cuts out until you drive off. The salesman said it was due to the 3 cylinder engine. Other
• Revoked Driving Licence 11 Jan 2018 (Forum)
