• Driving while sleepy 17 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  The subject of driving while tired has come up in the news again. I wasn\'t going to go into the figures and except that there is a danger in driving when you havn\'t had enough sleep.

• MG4 - Driving school EV 11 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  Although I imagine this might be common in other parts of the country, I have noticed a local driving school using an MG4. I was a bit surprised at first but then it made perfect sense. The majority of  new cars are now automatic and many young drivers will never drive a manual

  I have been given a two-day break at a luxury hotel in Lyon and wonder if anyone has experience of drive-on train services to the area? I live in the Midlands, am keen to take the car - a MINI Clubman - so that I can fill it with wine on the drive back but am reluctant to drive both ways because

  As a follow on to the thread about defensive driving, we all know there is a fine line between progressive and aggresive driving. What do you do you do to practice progressive driving and where is the line drawn before it becomes aggresive? I always try and keep moving when entering a roundabout

• Insurance for test-drive 21 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I'm contemplating selling the Badgermobile privately, probably on ebay. Not yet fully decided, but one matter that bothers me is insurance for test drives. I feel it quite unreasonable to expect anyone to buy a car without first driving it -- a ride as a passenger conveys little -- but I want

• Smart driving? 25 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Why is it that every Smart car is driven by a budding Michael Schumacher with a point to prove? Every time I see one of these horrid creations, it is being thrashed to within an inch of it's life, such as coming home this evening, with one driving up the middle of a wide A-road, overtaking all
