'Satellite Tracking' is Bullshit10 Jun 2005 18:04 GMT23
All this talk about 'satellite tracking' is utter tosh.
GPS satellites don't track anybody.  They can't.  GPS receivers
track the satellites.  I admit it amounts to the same thing if
your GPS receiver reports chapter and verse to HMG (who are
Stupid overtakers!10 Jun 2005 17:34 GMT17
They all drive like idiots (all apart from me of course ;-) )!  This
morning my engine was cold, so I was accelerating relatively slowly
with my 39bhp motor.  It was a dual carriageway with two lanes in my
direction, and not many cars.  As I'm doing about 40-50mph a few cars
Traffic Cops10 Jun 2005 15:54 GMT55
Numerous examples this week of people who thought they could drive but very
clearly couldn't. Car down embankment, car into woods, car on roof, car in
canal, etc. The most hilarious was the woman who turned out to pick up her
friend who had left the road, and was told by the ...
new roundabout on a600310 Jun 2005 14:45 GMT1

This roundabout is causing mass confusion. Went through it day after it
opened and watched one prat in a purple suzuki vitara go through not one
Long wheelspins - update09 Jun 2005 23:43 GMT14
I tried the technique suggested by "DanTXD" - parked on a hill,
allowed my car to gently roll back, full throttle, released clutch -
wheelspin and then bang, bang, bang - *loads* of axle tramp. At one
point I thought the struts were going to come through the bonnet! So
Raising driving age to 24 for males!09 Jun 2005 11:17 GMT55
Just read this in the paper, this idea is so stupid!  How can you treat
males different to females?  Surely it's the same as treating black and
white people differently.
Raising it to 24 will be terrible for people who want to get a job.
Bad car(s)?08 Jun 2005 19:52 GMT46
My parents have got a brand new Fiesta, and I don't really like it that
much.  I'm really quite supprised because the reviews seem to indicate
that they are relatively good.  It feels very small/cramped inside,
even compared to my Seicento.  The insides feel cheap because it's all
Lorry driver in the right08 Jun 2005 18:26 GMT6
My collegue, PJ, described to me how  a lorry and a car almost collided on
the A1M this morning. I told PJ in my view the lorry driver was not at
fault.
PJ said something along the line of "fecking hell Ray, you had better post
Gridlock08 Jun 2005 16:53 GMT2
Well I got into a 3 car gridlock on holiday
Car 1 (opposite me) pulled on to go straight over a min roundabout, I went
over to go right, at the same time car 2 pulled out infront of car 1 and got
trapped by my rear, car 1 trapped by car 2 and car 1 was trapped by me.
Cycle lane lip service.08 Jun 2005 16:51 GMT30
I guess there must some directive from on high to "persuade" councils that
encouraging cycling is a good thing.  It probably is a good thing for the planet
and reasonably good for the health.  Whatever, I get to work cool and
comfortable whilst my cycling colleagues arrive smelling ...
Motor bike ?07 Jun 2005 23:41 GMT4
*If* you had a large petrol driven fan harness-mounted on your
back, and you used it while sat on a bicycle......would
that mean the bike is actually a motor vehicle?
Gus.
IAM survey: Tailgating 'top driving threat' 07 Jun 2005 11:55 GMT54
Driving too close to the car in front and using mobile phones are considered
the biggest threats on UK roads, a survey says.
More than half of more than 700 drivers surveyed by the Institute of
Advanced Motorists (IAM) considered the two activities "highly dangerous".
Car insistently flashing ours late at night07 Jun 2005 10:40 GMT13
Coming back from Stratford around 10:30 pm Friday night -- just driving
out of town on the 439, a car behind us started flashing us insistently.
We ignored it and carried on -- the last we saw of it it was driving on
its side lights and after a few minutes there was nothing behind ...
M25 roadworks between M4 and M306 Jun 2005 18:39 GMT5
I've observed a few things as I use this section of road quite often.
There are what appear to be induction loops in the roadway under the
gantries with the variable speed limit signs, as new ones are put up. Are
these to trigger the cameras? Or are they for traffic management ...
Satellite tracking for charging...06 Jun 2005 17:18 GMT16
Surely though - there'll be a new trend in electronic counter measures - yes
of course they will be illegal, but as they could save 100s of pounds per
day for users. And if you get caught then it could just be "faulty"...
I can see a lot of faulty ones...
