Are the manufacturers 0-62mph figures generally quite accurate? Some boy racer type was questioning me about my Clio (1.2 16V Dynamique) today and as I don't generally give a damn about such things I had no idea about most of the stuff he was asking me.

Can someone tell me, if it is illegal to drive without a safety belt, why don't car manufacturers make it impossible for a car to start if you don't have your safety belt on.

Driving along the motorway all my instruments suddenly zeroed. Somewhat unnerving to glance down and see that you have no fuel, no revs and are doing 0 mph (the road and countryside however, was getting a good clip on ...)
