Have seen a couple of these around in my local garage, but now they haven't got any left. Was thinking would be good present for my sister if I could get my hands on one, any ideas where? If I get the name of the book can search for it online.

| M42 variable speed limits. | 30 Nov 2005 08:53 GMT | 2 |

85.9p per litre for petrol at most stations now. I've now been hearing folk saying things like "Nice to see it cheaper" or "It's a good price now". WHAT?! Cheap?! Good Price?! I think this whole oil refinery shutdown lark was just so that the oil

I had a short coach trip along the motorway today, and had a very good view (from above) of drivers. I was shocked at how many people had a very poor grip of the steering wheel. In fact almost everybody seem to hold the wheel in exactly the same way. It's typically a couple of

What are peoples thoughts on these? I'm finding that my lights don't go very far when dipped. However a lot of oncomming cars tend to be very dazzling, although their fog lights probably don't help either. If I get higher performance bulbs (road legal ones) could my lights

| Lack of proper observation! | 25 Nov 2005 22:20 GMT | 5 |
I followed a red V40 for several miles in L3 in stop/go traffic. Obviously his driving was a secondary consideration as both his steering and following distance were varying quite wildly. Along comes a biker using the L2/L3 split sailed past me then comes up
