  Three weeks ago I reported some truly wild driving on the A34 to the Hampshire Constabulary, not expecting anything in return. Today I received a personal letter concerning the "alleged bad driving", the key points being: * The information has been recorded because I was able to supply the full

• Will I be allowed to retake my driving test? 27 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  I'm not very confident driving (even though I have a full licence) and would like to retake my driving test to see if I could pass and hopefully get better. Would I be allowed to do this, as it's surely a sensible thing to do if I'm feeling low on confidence, and I definitely want to do more
• Vauxhall Astra E - Temperature Gauge Going up and DOWN while driving 17 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  While driving my Temp Gauge goes from zero upto just over 80 and then drops back down to just above the two white notches at the bottom (far left) of the gauge. It keeps going up and down like this while I'm driving. I've had my car MOT'd at a Vauxhall dealership

• Volkswagen Golf III (1992 - 1997) - Wheel bearing possibly worn. Safe to drive? 26 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  This is my first post here. I have a 98 VW Golf estate and I think the wheel baring has gone because I get a humming noise from the back wheels when i'm driving and last time this happened it was the wheel baring. Unfortunatly I can't afford to have it replaced for another 3 weeks
• Drving synergy. 3 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Tuesday after lunch I had a very tedious trip to a friend's house, it was blasting down with rain, but something in my soul told me that the drive was going to be different. Twenty eight miles, 30 minutes along a mix of rural single and an arterial dual carriageway, nothing special, a trip I've
• Drive way fine in petty Britain 30 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  that when they were shelling out for the drive ways ? You need to look at the picture to see what it is they paid for . Seeing as long as no car encroached on the bit of footpath in front of their home, what are the council counting as public highway... the strip of grass that runs across the front
• Driving home for Christmas 29 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  ...or driving to visit someone and back home afterwards. So what rarely undertaken journeys are forum members going on this festive season? Is that drive half-way across the county, or country, to visit friends or relations something to look forward to or dread? For my part, it will be down
• Driving standards in the UK 1 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I see a lot of posts that state that driving standards are better on the continent that they are in the UK in one way or another. The latest was in relation to motorcycling. Having both worked and driven on holiday fairly extensively in Europe I am firmly of the opinion that this is largely

• Driving in the USA 7 May 2008 (Forum)
  I'm off to Phoenix in a little over two weeks for six months and while I'm out there I'll have the use of a car (though I need to sort out my driving license first - I filled out the forms and stuck the photo on, then missed the white box with my signature... oops). Anyway, I've never driven
• Rover 75 (1999 - 2005) - 2005 Diesel- Are they known to have a hard clutch? 21 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  Hi - I have purchased a 2005 Rover 75 estate today and was really pleased with it. The clutch was harder to operate than the car that I usually drive, which is a Fiesta, but was not a problem for me on either the test drive or driving it after delivery today. My wife has tried it and tells me
• Dealer test drives 14 Jan 2008 (Forum)

• Fag ends 2 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  This is something I seem to get on most journeys into or back from work - fag ends thrown from the car infront of me. Being dark when I drive into or back from work means that they are easily seen as they are ejected from the vehicle infront and susequently hit the road throwing up a shower

• Etiquette for test driving 2nd hand cars 15 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Hi All, I went to look at a 3.0 Z4 - 2nd hand. The guy wouldn't let me test drive it as my insurance is 3rd party cover only - he said if I made a deposite he'd add me to his cover for a day. I can see where he's coming from as it's a fast car, but is this normal? And as I'm about to sell my 4
• Efficient driving technique 29 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  I have been trying to drive more economically. One of the tips I have come across on the web is to leave the car in gear and ease off the accelerator when going down a hill. I have read that this will only work for modern cars, where the ecu/computer cuts off the fuel. In such cases, it is better
