Whilst driving home tonight, I had an experience that I would not like to
repeat.
On the A10 (single carriageway), heading north toward Ely, there was a
truck, followed by 4 cars, and then me - all driving at about 50mph.

On Saturday 29th May at The 3663 Depot at Livingston The Professional
Drivers Association along with the Scottish Trucker Club are going to
hold an Lorry Aware Day to raise awareness of the dangers to children
and the general public.

If you get a Gatso ticket you get points, right?
So am I right in saying there is no way it can be processed at a
post office?

How come the result of driving without insurance, stealing cars
on the pikey site, and drunk no insurance, no helmets on the
moped and all the other cases, they get about a £90 fine.
Makes paying insurance, tax and taking a driving test

Loads of frustrated F1 wannabees on the M1 today - all those BMWs/Audis/Alfas must be seriously underpowered if they need a 'tow' to overtake on an almost empty carriageway!

Driving along A638 between Doncaster and Bawtry, wide (ish) single
carriageway road, NSL, just accelerating out from traffic lights and notice
a pigeon up ahead. Pigeon starts to walk across road, I tell wife I've seen
it and it'll fly away .. and if it doesn't it'd be OK as we're ...

I have a query about the highway code, which has confused me.  It's
rule 131 about traffic calming.  Part of it says,
"When you approach these features reduce your speed."
I've never been taught to do this and I certainly don't normally do

Does anybody know of a newsgroup for Skoda Cars, please ??

Has anybody ever been near a school at about 8:45?  I go past one on
the way to work every day and it's a nightmare.  For some strange
reason the parents always have to park in dangerous places.  It is
really weird, and what makes it worse is that there are usually some

Whilst in an Audi A6 last night I noticed that at 0mph, the car's fuel
computer indicated 101.0mpg.  How does it work that out then?
Given such economy, I think that I will start to travel at 0mph more often
if I can cover 101 miles using just 1 gallon.  Unless I am in a hurry, of

OK there's another thing in the highway code which a may not fully
understand.  It's junctions controlled by traffic lights, it relates
to rules 150 and 151 in the highway code.
The question is, what is the difference between 'normal' traffic light

My son took his first driving lesson a few days ago and we got into a
discussion about anticipation and observation. I was trying to get across
to him how small clues can help him with a driving plan. We talked about
excessive fog light users.

Having been down the M6 today I am convinced that we need to ban
anyone over the age of 70 from driving on motorways. Car doing 60 in
lane 2, completely oblivious to anything going on around them, sat an
inch behind the wheel peering over it with a fixed gaze......

Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed that we
were being followed by a Mondeo Estate. The bloke followed us on a rather
serpentine route back to the main road, and we then turned up a cul de sac
(bugger) which he eventually followed us up. The bloke got ...

I'm looking at getting a Focus. I know the different levels of trim and the
benefits of each. But what's the point of the Zetec range. Apart from the
add on's (alloys etc) the engine is Zetec, but what's different about a
Zetec engine compared to a regular Ford Focus engine?
