Whilst driving in my town yesterday a BMW tailgated me massively and when it whizzed past me I happened to spot its number and it read like 356046. All numbers. I am quite positive. Any idea where this car belongs ? Cheers

| Traffic update sites? | 09 Feb 2006 16:09 GMT | 2 |
Does anyone know of any good traffic update sites, mainly for Staffordshire/West Mids. As I usually get the traffic reports via the radio in the car just as I have stopped in the middle of the congestion, would be nice to know before hand

| Putting your ego away! | 09 Feb 2006 15:56 GMT | 84 |
Judging from what I've been reading on the "This guy didn't look" thread, I think the best drivers on the road, are not just those who have good observation and anticipatory skills, but those who can put their ego away and be laid back on the road. That means not rising to ...

| A Nearly T boned | 08 Feb 2006 14:24 GMT | 6 |
Talking of Kev's near miss... Today, a roundabout with three extremely wide lanes around it. Waiting to go straight ahead - being a large busy roundabout you need confidence and acceleration to get across the distance safely.

| Parking tickets | 08 Feb 2006 06:54 GMT | 16 |
Does anybody know if a parking ticket has to placed on your vehicle before it is valid? I'm thinking of the situation where you drive away before they have finished writing the ticket.

tiny tiny women who drive about in HUGE 4x4's on their own. That is of course until they pick up a tiny tiny child from school who is invisible once in the vehicle. What a waste of car, petrol, road space, tyre rubber, and world resources. Apart from that they just look like prats - ...

| Driving in Italy | 05 Feb 2006 20:13 GMT | 13 |
Well, having just spent a week in Italy, driving in Rome and out in the country, I thought I'd report back on things I noticed... - The roads are terrible. Only toll routes and *some* new roads are anyhting like the vast majority of UK roads. Even on major routes it's not uncommon ...
