• Add-on - bust off 16 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I saw two incidents recently where rathwer expensive add-ons were removed. 1.0 A young chap with an air-dam down to about 2 inches from the ground entered the fast food resturant (yes, that one !) car park. With a resounding clatter the speed bump removed his air dam. I wonder how long he had

  I know the subject has been touched on before but I was this evening, followed by a Transit with the following occupants: Driver, Mum with you child on lap, young child on middle seat with younger child on lap. You guessed it, NO seat belts in use by any of them. The same people who are going
• One for the insurance wizzos 26 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  I was rear-ended in a queue of traffic in my company car yesterday by a young lad in an old Jag. Not my fault, reported it to our accident management folks so it will all get sorted out OK. But, I have two other insurance policies in my name, one for my son's car with me as the policyholder & him
• Drivers or car operators - Discuss 19 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Does anyone agree with me that manufacturers have reduced most of us from being drivers to being car operators. Agreed that some innvoation is in the interests of improving safety for the less experienced motorist, but it seems to have detracted greatly from the "skill" required to drive. Take

• A303 Somerset 40 mile diversion for 14 weeks in 09 19 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Thats why I never would buy a new car. Twice I saw careless drivers hit my towbar when parking behind me. It damaged them not me! Towbar hardly sticks out and ball is at about 18in height on van. In supermarkets I see doors often flung open until stopped by next car. Car occupiers tend to be young
• Top 10 lethal roads 9 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  are stumped by why most of the top 10 are in the North. Er.....because there are more big cities in the North with weekend bikers who like to go for a blast on the twisties and more young drivers from urban centres out for a run? This lot meeting each other and other slower moving road users like lorries

• Raising driving age to 18? 7 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  that this will also save lives as young drivers are more likely to have an accident. Being able to drive is like a badge of honour and would compliment being able to buy alcohol, cigarettes and vote, making coming of age a real change. It might also help to reduce congestion slightly. What do BR's think
• Scooter Deathwish 17 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Having said this morning that I was oblivious to the usual stupidities of drivers not being in control I witnessed this afternoon four young scooter riders - three learners and a fully qualified ( or not showing L plate) riding two abreast at 30 mph paying no attention to the road but laughng
• Eyesight Dilemma 28 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  replacement vehicle twice, luckily no other car or person being involved. One can only question how many other motorists are driving around with similarly impaired vision and why compulsory eye inspections are not introduced for older drivers. I feel so concerned that I ought to report this person before
• thought I'd seen it all! 11 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Well today was a first. Despite hearing about such things quite a bit this morning was the first time I've seen a female driver putting on make-up whilst driving. Where did this happen? On the main road passing our local infant/junior school? Yep, a mum was driving along with two hands on her
• Minor prang - insurance procedure please 2 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Owing to my advancing years and male gender it is deemed by some that I know a thing or two about cars, insurance and the like. I have been asked to assist a young lady in the correct / best way to proceed following a minor damage incident. In summary, whilst turning right out of a minor road
• N/A - Hit and Run 14 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  okay. minutes after the collision I was straight on the phone to the police and following that I reported the event to my insurance. I did not claim for the damage, I instead chose to get it fixed myself as I am a young driver and my insurance is already expensive
• Hit a wing mirror 2 May 2013 (Forum)
  worried she might have noted my number plate down and made a claim for something. I am a new young driver so I don't want to go through insurance as it's expensive as it is and if there is any damage it would be light so I would be able to pay for it. Whats the liklihood she will made a claim? At the time
• My turn for an accident. 17 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  emerges into the gap left by the courteous driver in the left hand lane. Driver wants to turn right so looks left, he fails to look right as he probably forgot it's two lanes he's crossing and hits the rear wheel arch and wheel of my car. Very little visible damage (slight dint in rear arch and alloy
• Courtesy or nuisance 4 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I gave a driver (gender unseen) a nervous breakdown on Friday last. As I approached a three junction traffic roundabout I saw a very hesitant young learner trapped there. The traffic was building up behind him quite badly. So, I did my boy-scout thing and hesitated myself, blocking both
• What is it with motorcyclists? 23 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Am I the only driver who considers most motorcyclists bad mannered and bad drivers? I live in Bournemouth and there seems to be an increasing number of motorcyclists who:- - While overtaking a slow moving queue of traffic, will push into the queue willy nilly despite no space available. The poor
