| Wrong way round a roundabout! | 31 Aug 2009 23:33 GMT | 6 |
The east going eastern end of the York bypass was at a complete standstill before lunchtime today, where they are rebuilding the roundabout and adding extra lanes. Probably some problem where the east coast road narrows down to a single lane, because the new widened

| M6/M6 toll merge confusion | 31 Aug 2009 12:49 GMT | 8 |
About 15 miles north of Birmingham on the M6, lane three branches off onto a single lane and then joins back about 100 yards later. Just at the point where the M6 and M6 Toll merge. I've noticed frequently that some drivers going up this lane suddenly

The first thing I did after buying a car,was to buy the 'Haynes Instruction Manual' for that particular model.I found them invaluable. John Haynes started writing these manuals 49 years ago and he's still going strong today,he runs a publishing company in Somerset.

| On-off throttlers | 28 Aug 2009 21:40 GMT | 42 |
Over the years I've experienced (as a passenger) drivers who seem unable to hold a constant or smoothly changing throttle opening. Instead, they seem to use the throttle like a switch, pressing & releasing constantly which makes for a most unpleasant journey as a passenger.

| Cars with ammeters | 28 Aug 2009 00:32 GMT | 38 |
Why is it that cars of the 1950s, 60s and 70s often used to be fitted with an ammeter (-30A, 0, +30A) whereas it's very rare to find a car with one nowadays? Has there been some improvement in battery-charging technology which has

| Motorway packs | 27 Aug 2009 22:12 GMT | 7 |
Ever noticed on motorways,that cars seem to bunch together in sort of packs? Whenever I encounter them,I either accelerate untill I get past them or pull back untill it goes clear again. It appears to be a strange phenomina.

| Vehicle styling. | 26 Aug 2009 23:46 GMT | 68 |
Every now and again a car is put into production that is universally slammed as ugly and unattractive. A recent example is the new Skoda Superb. Is there anyone who finds this car attractive? I certainly don't - and neither do any of the road testers whose reports I've read.

| Slowing down to overtake HGVs | 26 Aug 2009 20:20 GMT | 8 |
Why is it that some people will drive at 70 on a dual carriageway quite happily but will slow down to little more than the speed of an HGV as they are overtaking it before accelerating back up to 70 aftwerwards? I've seen this behaviour a lot on the A34 (two-lane ...

| Puncture on the motorway | 25 Aug 2009 23:38 GMT | 58 |
Who would dare change a wheel on the hard shoulder of a motorway? I might consider it,if it was a nearside wheel and the h/shoulder was substantially wide enough. Bod

| Hypothetical accident question | 25 Aug 2009 18:01 GMT | 3 |
I was driving past a parked taxi the other day when the passenger opened the door. I was giving it a good enough berth in the first place that it wasn't a problem, but had I hit the door, who would I claim off? Is the taxi driver liable for his passengers and I'd claim
