What is your favourite weather to drive in?

[HDi fun]

Unmarked traffic cars are disinterested unless your closely approaching 100 on a motorway that dry and clear.

Why would they disclose thir identity otherwise?

I regularly drive at or around 100mph (it's my choice) on clear motorways and I know I risk a hefty fine and not insignificant ban. However, it would be best for all of us to abide by the limits. The law has not changed significantly. but attitudes have.

Some authorities are trying to make main road speeding (even if it's done safely) as socially unacceptable as fiddling with childen.

Please dont put my insurance up.

So about an hour after this post, I got in my little 1.4l Honda Civic, and went to drive to my Uncles. Hit the bypass, foot down - horrific rain - felt the car being different than normal so I slowed down to agree with the conditions. Its the first time I've had the windscreen wipers going full tilt in 2 years of driving.

Anyway, end of the bypass, I'm in the right hand lane, fully stopped. Then I hear someone lock up. About .5 of a second goes by, then SMASH, straight into the back of me. I'm sat there like "****ing hell", check myself over, and I'm fine. Got out, went out round the car to her, she was sat there, white as a sheet, in shock. Asked her if she was okay - shes fine too

Anyway, its basically mashed my bumper in, and it could possibly be a write off. However, shes incredibly attractive. She only passed 4 weeks ago, bless :P

Hoping to catch a drink with her sometime this week and see where it goes from there! They're looking to pay for the damage outside of insurance.

Anyway - this is the exact reason why you should take it incredibly easy in the rain. Its dangerous and I could have just as easily turned round and said "Ow my neck is killing me."

As it happens, i'm not like that.

Anyway, food for thought.

Unlucky mate.

least its only a bumper and maybe a respray / dusting
hondas are hardy little cars mines went over a roundabout one (i hid oil on a wet road and had nothing) went over and back down 2 sets of kerbs. problems blew out 3 tyres and damaged 3 alloys, not the same ones and my tracking was out by a little bit . total cost to repair £60 for new cheap assed tyres to get me to halfords. £240 for new alloys and and £21 for tracking adjustment. nothing else was wrong with the car, my pride was hurt alot more.

Least you got a drink and date outa it. me, all i got was , the guy who done my tyres was a mate so pissed himself laughin when i told him what happened, an earbashing from both ma mother, who was more interested in the car, and the girlfriend.

btw the wipers and heaters on the civic are completely useless
