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 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? -

Hi all, I was originally going to go in summer but due to personal reasons as well as work etc couldn't, however we are finally embarking on our French driving adventure! I've familiarised myself with everything I'll need because I was quite rightly told to have a look at their driving laws -

Focus, Transit connect, Mondeo etc - Ford TDci PcM reset 31 Mar 2010 (Forum)
Is there a correct way to reset the PcM on the Ford TDci? I've heard various ideas (after disconnecting the battery for a time to "clear the memory") including "warm the engine on tickover then drive for 10 miles", "drive slowly" "drive fast" "drive normally" etc etc. So after -
Nissan Primera II (1996 - 1999) - Motorway driving made easy... 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
I currently drive a Nissan Primera SX and love the comfort and security but as I'm using it mainly for two long distance drives of around 500 miles a week I was thinking of downsizing to a smaller car and saving money on petrol. However I'm confused as to fuel consumption for motorway driving -

Driving Instructors 1 Apr 2008 (Forum)
There was a radio advert the other day requesting drivers to become instructors. The only proviso was that you had held a full UK licence for a year. This is the reason why there are so many poor drivers around. They are taught to pass a test. Not to drive. We need experienced drivers to teach new -
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 -
