• New law? 30 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Has a new law been passed whereby if you are a man aged under 25 you must wear a baseball cap whilst driving and drive like a complete a***hole (usually in a Vauxhall Nova or Corsa with ridiculously oversive alloys and rear spoiler).

• A pint for the road? 11 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  For those of us that like driving to a country pub, having a pint (usually with a meal) and then driving home again, that could be a thing of the past, if the government decides to follow the recommendation. I hope they don’t… https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/22923473/doctors-campaign-lower-drink
• Swiss Vignette - driving through Switzerland 23 Jan 2023 (Forum)

• Reliant Robin - How do they handle? 20 Oct 2013 (Forum)

  Here's an alternative viewpoint on driving in the UK, from the editor of the Aussie web magazine, Autospeed. He reckons us Pommies are (on average) better drivers, and faster, too. http://blog.autospeed.com/2013/01/19/3500-kays-in-the-uk/
• Keeping a car on the drive 13 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  If keeping a car on the drive does it need to be taxed and/or insured. My better half reckons law has been changed and it does! I won't go into the circumstances unless its needed but its likely to be there for a few months and won't need to go on the road during that time.

• Driving with courtesy lights on 28 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Last night the kids put the rear courtesy lights on in the car and I told them to put them off as it was illegal to drive with them on. This was what I was always told by my dad for years, is it true or did he just not want me reading in the car at night?
• Music to drive to? 22 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  This thought was sparked by the appeal for opinion poll subjects: Do you listen more to Radio, Tape, CD music or CD books? What's your favourite track/artist to drive to - I love a nice windy back road and Meatloaf blasting from the stereo. What's yours?
