Paging SteveH: that electronic ciggy you bought.10 Jan 2009 19:42 GMT10
Is it any good.
I'm trying to quit again.
Patches don't always work for me and sometimes the smoking craving is
too great.
Pay at pump - selfish drivers10 Jan 2009 19:34 GMT301
The Shell garage I use is busy (it's a lot cheaper than everywhere else around here).  All the pumps (except the LPG ones which is a slight annoyance) have a pay at the pump credit card reader, yet I almost never see anyone bothering to use it.  Instead they all selfishly queue ...
"Foreign" cars being towed away if not taxed after 6 months in UK10 Jan 2009 19:31 GMT124
As seen on the BBC this morning.  What's this all about, then?  What
difference does it make in being able to trace a car's owner if it's
been here six months or one week?  And isn't dependence on cameras at
the ports of entry a little unreliable in establishing how long a
Tyres in America?10 Jan 2009 14:31 GMT123
Is the minimum legal tyre tread depth the same as in England (2mm)?

Getting into Haulage10 Jan 2009 13:39 GMT15
I wanted to ask peoples advice on getting into the haulage industry.
Basically Ive made a mess of my life for the last few years, ending up
with 3 months inside for handling stolen goods. Ive done the crime paid
my time, now Im a reformed character and want to get back on the strait
What did she mean?10 Jan 2009 03:20 GMT3
'twas a bright and lovely Saturday in Coventry.
I was returning to my parked car when I saw two well-worn cars stopped
in a roundabout with two ladies bickering. It seemed that the inner
one wanted to leave the roundabout and the outer one wanted to
Road chaos in Leeds10 Jan 2009 02:48 GMT6
Two major accidents in / around the Leeds area.  One on M62 between junc 26
and 27 westbound.  Another on the ring road near Dry Salters pub.  Heard the
M62 incident was someone had 'fallen' onto the carriageway.
If anyone is planning a journey to Leeds, be aware both incidents ...
Failed MOT09 Jan 2009 20:01 GMT269
Had my car in for it's yearly service & MOT today, it failed.
As the current MOT does not run out till the 4th of Jan what is the
legal position of driving it till then?
Can't get the car in to do the repairs until next Monday but may want to
The morning scrape.....08 Jan 2009 20:05 GMT154
Being retired, and used to sleeping until somewhere between 8am and 8.30 am,
I become increasingly irritated by my thoughtless neighbours who insist on
leaving their cars on their driveways, rather than use their garages, and
then wake me up at regular intervals from 5.50am ...
Failed MOT.08 Jan 2009 19:02 GMT5
Steve, you mentioned earlier that you'd rather wait for the rescue services.
So you'd prefer to wait for help, possibly an hour or so?
What would you do in the mean time? sit in your car or stand in a field.
It makes much more sense to either pump the tyre up(2 - 3 mins) or

Fuel cell question07 Jan 2009 19:53 GMT115
Is there any technical reason why fuel cells that use petrol can't be
build (I imagine diesel would be too thick)? I realise this means
they'd still release CO2 but wouldn't the fuel consumption would be a
lot less than piston engines because of all the advantages of being
Is Safespeed a charity?07 Jan 2009 08:42 GMT4
A thread started to highlight the credibility issue of safespeed
supporters is probably not best served by linking to a forum used by
safespeed supporters who think a drunk driver killing someone is
funny. We've already had a post from here that claimed a cyclist
Car washing06 Jan 2009 20:15 GMT7
Why on earth did people decide that yesterday was a good day for washing the
car?
Not only would it have been a bitter and unpleasant experience, with the
temperature reaching the giddy heights of freezing (yes, that's a MAXIMUM of
