Frosty Morning - Windscreen Scrapers. WHY ?31 Jan 2007 16:13 GMT168
for as many years as I can remember I have been defrosting my car

to not freeze over again before the heater kicks out enough heat to
Time for a new test?30 Jan 2007 23:18 GMT13
I have been an instructor for 4 months now. In that time I have put 12
drivers through to the test. I have been dismayed at some of the outcomes.

complete idiots when they drive alone. Other drivers fail the ...
Phones v's Smoking29 Jan 2007 18:08 GMT15
How come if I use my phone when driving I could get a £30 fine and 3
points yet thousands of people every day can rubbage for a burn, stick
a flame right in front of their faces and then chuck a smouldering lump
of s**t onto the bonnet of the following car without getting even a

Vehicle acticated signs28 Jan 2007 22:48 GMT43
I've noticed a lot of these kinds of signs popping up. Basically they flash
your current speed if over the speed limit.
I think ? they are to appeal to your better nature to slow down as there is
