| A new Highway Code | 21 Jul 2005 04:17 GMT | 36 |
What would you put in? Here's two important rules to start: 1. You MUST give way to faster traffic. 2. You MUST keep left except when overtaking.

| Stopping on the hard shoulder | 20 Jul 2005 12:41 GMT | 18 |
Should only be done in an emergency, yes. Does putting your roof up when it's raining count? About 10 cars at the southern end of the M1 thought so the other day when it suddenly started to piss down...

| Max bend speeds | 19 Jul 2005 19:01 GMT | 66 |
Drove through some this afternoon. Why do councils? whoever, put such low speeds on some bends? Near where I live there's a section of DC, separated fom the opposite lane by trees. Has a series of bends in it. Before the signs went up I found them

NSL SC heading out from a small village on the bike, with the road into the village completely choked with standing nose to tail cars coming back from the coast. My side of the road was completely clear of vehicles - until I rounded

| ID re Speed Camera | 19 Jul 2005 10:52 GMT | 62 |
I heard in the news a couple of years ago about a driver who challenged a speed camera summons by claiming that for him to be forced to identify the driver was an infringement of his human rights. Does anyone recall this and most important recall the outcome please?

| Used Car Valuation | 19 Jul 2005 09:01 GMT | 2 |
I need the valuation of a used car for probate. I just went to the Glass's web site and fed £2.95 into the screen but was never shown the result. I suspect a browser incompatibility. Anyway I sent them an email to demand my valuation, but in the mean time, can anyone else help me ...

I met him at our IAM group meeting last night. Very interesting. It was certainly the most interesting meeting I've been to in a long time. The predicted riot didn't materialise and it seemed the vast majority of those present were in agreement with what he was saying.

| Optimax - my opinion | 18 Jul 2005 19:08 GMT | 47 |
I've been using Optimax recently, and have consistantly averaged 44mpg over 3 fillups (44.1mpg, 44.2mpg, 43.9mpg). This week I changed back to 'normal' petrol. I don't know about the economy yet, and people like the Dervman will always argue that I didn't do the test for long

| Speed Camera Strategy - My Observations | 18 Jul 2005 15:22 GMT | 8 |
In my opinion the current trend of using "fixed" speed cameras in accident blackspot locations does not necessarily lead to safer driving. I have observed that such speed cameras lead to hard braking with vehicles slowing down significantly to pass as they approach the

| Vandal's ID | 17 Jul 2005 20:01 GMT | 7 |
I recently had my rear screen smashed by a guy who claimed I was reversing into him whilst parking. The fact that the Police carted him off for criminal damage without even asking me for any documents tells us who they believed.

| Another 'was it me' | 17 Jul 2005 18:02 GMT | 26 |
I'm in the nearside lane of a NSL two lane dual carraigeway approaching an off slip road. The two cars in front of me start to slow (a shade more than neccessary) to leave the DC. I'm happy where I am in lane one and slow down behind them.

I've about £10k to spend on a new motor and want to investigate dual fuel and turbo-diesel. Any opinions and sites worth reading gratefully received.
