I fell of my motorbike on that road! (sorry wanted to share). definately sundays

Just read the story regarding this, and it seems the guy who put the forward in the first place admitted that its the 100mg of alcohol + people who are the ones who cause the most damage? I don't agreed with a drop of drink and driving at all, however it just seems as though the gov't is...

with waynne, rangerover sports and that stupid big kia thing i've noticed.

Been in the situation, and also (embarassingly (sp?) been on the recieving end. Mate forcibly took my car keys off me, and I thank him for it now (he's a lot bigger than me I wasn't arguing!). I did the same to another friend after she argued with her bf, tried to drive rat-arsed. Again, just...

If it aint broke, dont fix it? Whats wrong with the law at present? Just my 2p

Never too hot to drive. Simples.

A57 snake pass between Glossop and Sheffield is, in fact, a race track. As is the parallel road, Woodhead Pass (A628 I think). Both amazing roads. Kirkstone pass in the lake district rocks too. Bit scary in the ice though! EDIT: Didn't see waynne's post, beat me too it!

A lot of insurers simply will not insure you unless you are a resident of the UK, i.e. Pay UK tax on your wages from employment / hold a UK passport etc (you do not need either, they are examples of UK residency). As far as your test is concerned, i'd recommend a couple of lessons to get you...

I have a CBT and doing my license in the coming weeks, have been hiring 125cc's to practice on and it's like some car drivers are specifically out to kill me. It seems its a case of "My van is far bigger than you, so get out the way or get knocked off". They are amazing machines but need much...

Depends on the driver. The more hesitant dithering idiots scare me much more than the show off D*ck-heads ragging it round everywhere. At least the latter has thier eyes on the road and is thinking about whats going on. I'm generally quite relaxed.

if you want someone else to do it and don;t want massive power gains Zetec S swap could work? These can be done for about 6-700 quid. Leaves you with plenty more for other stuff.

I agree with this as I see far too many kids where parents have more money than sense buying them Type R civics and renaultsport clio's etc. I only agree cos my parents wont buy / insure one for me :(

I really dont see the point in supercars apart from for posing purposes. I don't see where I can use up to a thousand BHP on our crap roads?

I have no idea what most of that means. What is Royal Purple fluid? why do you want a good handling / fast minivan? If your looking for tuning options, surely a head swap will be far more expensive than filter / exhaust / remap? Bracing the chassis on something that big will only make very...

Parking is fine near where I live in the local towns. Plenty of car parks for supermarkets etc and they don;t mind if your not a customer it cost £1 (if you are a customer you claim this back at the till). Takes an age to get a ticket though as you have to type your reg number into the...

Sorry to the idiot in the polo who tried to ram me off the road in july. I forgave you for trying to barge into my lane (and for you being in the wrong lane in the first place), therefore, you should have the good decency to accept my hitting the horn and choose not to call me a "w4nk3r" through...

This. A lot. and crush the cars of people who don't indicate at mini-roundabouts and make them watch heh heh. ;P

As im a bit of a newbie when it comes to replacement parts etc I look for the cheapest and look for reviews, and keep moving up in price until I find a really good ratio of good to bad reviews, and but that one. If its things like brake pads I will always go for expensive parts as its not...

unfortunately its bad boy racer style. I just find it comfy! Was caught singing along to Miley Cyrus the other day by a woman in an A3. Had the window down and everything, caught her looking from the corner of my eye and she just pissed herself laughing lol.

I get really nervous as, even though I havn't done anything, I'm terrified that they will 'find' something to do me for. I hear so many horror stories it scares me witless. With the way fixed penalty fines work in this country now if the copper says you did it, you did it. There's no defence...

do them all the time as i am really good at getting lost lol. Usually on estates etc where I hit a dead end so no other choice. If its quiet the "3 points" turn is a good option lol. And depandant on the copper/magistrate this can be a 4, 5 or 6 points turn ;)

I'm with HDi on the passat CC. Must be the best looking 4 door. Most others look like 2 doors with another two popped on as an afterthought.

Lol I want one of those stickers BAD63R. Its not a particular group of cars I don't give way to its te actual people. Anyone tryin the bully thier way out don;t get a chance and especially anyone on the bloody phone. Idiots on phones should be shot.

With the citroen's fishtailing - are citroen still using torsion (sp?) bar suspension on the rears ala saxo's? I know this could cause mental oversteer in the right circumstances. I know the stopping distance of my car, but I couldn't tell you it in feet or seconds.

I do most of the time purely out of habit, If there's obviously nobody about i occationally do not.

Yes, as long as I can see whats coming.

I was going to say that if it became law then during your test etc (which, in my little perfect future-world, would include a test on motorways) they would be teaching you to keep an eye on your left mirrors for undertakers as well as looking right for overtakers. However, 1) If the current...

lol thats class.

It winds me up this. There is a road near me where the speed humps are so sharp that I can only go over them comfortably (i.e. not worried about killing the underside of my car) at 15mph. Car is not lowered, just a standard chassis fiesta. The road has a 30 mph limit?? Why slow me down to 15 mph...

Cold, usually drive with at least the drivers window open in any season. Passengers usually whinge a little bit, but the missus is OK she prefers it cold too. I can't stand it when it's chucking it down so I can't have my window open!

How noisey are the new evo's inside? Just thinking of the baba.

Bit of both dependant on where I am and how much I need to slow down. I try not to use the brakes on the motorway if I only need to lose, say, 5 mph and i'm doing low revs in top gear i'll just drop it a cog as braking on m/ways causes tailbacks. Normally will use both as (as said before)...

similar to dpsubaru, I rarely overtake with the missus in the car as the ear-ache hurts more than the car accident possibility she's whinging about. When out on sunny-sunday drive's I overtake a lot due to the kind of roads I'm on (Snake / Woodhead pass' and quiet national speed limit U roads)...

Lane hoggers and middle-laners are the bane of my life. For some reason i've noticed the closer you get to the trafford centre the worse it is? If there is someone in the middle lane with nothing either side of them I will flash lights as i'm overtaking to let them know they need to move over...

No idea. Used to sell cars and changed my demo every 2 weeks or so usually and if a p/x was taxed 'd take that for something different. Test drove a fair few cars when I left the trade too as I couldn't make my mind up. Will always have a good blast in mates new cars just to see how they compare.

2.0 SDi mk5 golf. It was just slow and non-descript. I actually struggle to say anything about it.

As I say its not the forward range I need, I can see everyones rear lights. I was just under the impression that as thier lower down they wouldn't dazzle other drivers as much, as I have noticed this with other cars behind me. I much prefer someones front fogs to headlights. I'll have to have...

I think it means they speed but don't know how to spot speed cameras?

Never use any protection and there fine. Standard ones on since new (51 plate), no corrosion / stains atall.

I put the fronts on on motorways with lots of spray due to my sidelights being crap and want to be seen. My fogs are less dazzling than headlights.
