  • Fog driving 14 Feb 2008 (Forum)
    Another morning driving in the fog. And the usual minority who drive without dipped headlights. Including a learner driver with an "experienced" teacher. Many cars are fitted with lights that automatically illuminate in such conditions. Maybe its time to make all cars have the facility fitted
  • Driving schools, intensive courses etc 17 Dec 2007 (Forum)
    My son will be 17 years old in January and is keen to learn to drive. He's bright and knowledgable about how cars work and the basics of driving. I had him driving on an airfield (with a permit) and he picked up the basics of car control within an hour, so I don't think he's going to be one
  • Renault Laguna - No drive... Clutch? 16 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    Hi, just driving the kids home from school half an hour ago and the car stalled as I pulled in to the drive. Now it won't drive at all, forward or back. The car is a P reg 1.8 RT by the way.... The engine runs ok, but there's now a rattle/grind when the clutch is not depressed (even in neutral
  • Another banned driver kills 29 Sep 2004 (Forum)

  • Examples of great driving 13 Sep 2010 (Forum)
    After a short break in the UK and all the aggressive driving and speed cameras at every turn, it's great to be back in Spain and return to the 'normality' of driving here. Tonight for example, I was cheerfully overtaken... ...whilst travelling on a steep uphill gradient
  • 'How is my driving?' Have you called the number ? 27 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    Driving towards Portsmouth this morning and behind a Hovis van with a displayed notice "how is my driving phone 080 etc etc." Has any body out there phoned one of these numbers, if you did what did you say.
  • Can i drive another car? 13 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    I have purchased a new insurance policy and it allows me to drive other cars with the owners permission with third party cover. If i was to buy a second car and only use it in emergencies would i be insured to drive it or has that car got to be insured too?
  • driving on the left? 6 May 2007 (Forum)

  • Driving test review 5 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    Anyone's thought's ? I think to handle some of the bad driving these days (not saying i'm perfect) but what about a retest of sorts every 5/10 years ?, seems once you pass your test you can do what you want for the rest of you driving life.
  • Driving in Slovakia 22 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    On the basis that backroomers get everywhere, does anyone have experience of driving in Slovakia and the Czech Republic? I've been offered a free trip but on the condition that I help with the driving. I'm quite embarrassed to admit that I've never driven outside of the UK and I'm not sure
  • Driving in Deutschland 14 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    Visiting Germany in September, two days in Berlin and one in Frankfurt - plan to hire a car and drive to Frankfurt, stay overnight and back to Berlin (got carried away on Ebay with bidding for the Frankfurt bit-didn't realise it is 350 miles from Berlin). Anyone got any driving tips - do's
  • Driving gloves 5 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    To quote from another thread, "about as much use as a pair of driving gloves". I've started using driving gloves: * They prolong the life of leather steering wheels by stopping the rot caused by sweaty hands. * They do provide a better grip on the steering wheel, whatever it is made of. Perhaps
  • Strange choice of driving school car 23 Oct 2003 (Forum)
    I was following a driving school Golf yesterday..... with V5 badges! I'm sure it will teach learners to respect the throttle pedal, but they going to be very dissapointed when they pass the test and test drive anything that they'll be able to insure. PS Not sure if it was the 150 or 170 bhp
  • Old biddy drives down slipway........ 8 Aug 2002 (Forum)
    ......and straight into the river! WTF was going on there? From the cameras, she didn't even slow down! Without being 'ageist'you have to wonder about some of the older people driving. I wonder if the police will check her for eyesight or even driving without due care and attention?

  • Driving examiners 4 Aug 2013 (Forum)
    Why do Driving Examiners wear high vis jackets, given that the only time they are out of the car is at the test centre car park?
