... this group seems to be infested with postings of a "whose fault is
it?" theme.
Just to clarify the situation with regards to natural law: If you run
into something or someone when you could have reasonably avoided it, it

My sister told me a copper told her that when driving its safer to have your
seat in a sort of upright position as this will give you more support in an
accident.
I have my seat laid very far back - so only my lower back is touching it

On Thursday had cause to take a drive along the A92 from Halbeath area to
Glenrothes. On joining at Halbeath I saw some distance in front what
appeared to be a car marked with Police Livery (the reflective stuff on the
rear end). Obviously, cars behind him were keeping to the ...

Now that we're all playing nicely...
I was having a look around (Just zis) Guy's website when I read this:
"I do not know whether the experi[e]ments where all road markings and
signage were removed as a traffic calming measure were influenced by

The United States wants Britain's proposed identity cards to have the same

I'm taking my car abroad in a few weeks for the first time in several years.
Do people still bother with headlamp beam deflectors, or do they:
(a) just set their headlamps to the lowest height setting, or
(b) not care less?

I was due to buy a car today but my insurance provider for my current car
has failed to get the cover note to me in time.  The transfer was scheduled
to happen at midday, so now I have a problem that I can't complete the deal
because with no cover note, the garage I am buying ...

Today, I only suffered from one single incidence of stupity....

I was driving along a fairl shallow bend on a fairly busy road  approaching
a juction on left hand side. . .a car was at this juction ready turn right
onto the road i was on. Rather than wait just behind the give way markings

I sometimes see speed limit signs with the numbers sprayed over with
white paint or covered over with plastic bin liners. Are these
officially done as some of them seem to have been like that for months,
even on a local motorway which has/had a 50 limit?

Apparantly, the policeman caught doing 84mph in a 30 limit,

by practicing driving at high speed.
So he got let off by the judge.

I have a Peugeot 206 that is about 14 months old.  A while back I noticed
that the rear wheel arch was dented in at the back (either side of the
wheel), it looks like someone hit it with their bumper at a very shallow
angle.  It's hard to see at a quick glance, but if you look ...

SC though a busy village, with lorry parked unloading, blocking the
opposing lane and a queue of traffic building up behind him. The first
vehicle in the queue a HGV, so yours truly stops to let it through.
