Lorry Drivers Please Service Your Vehicles! What's so hard with the maintenance of these vehicles? I'm starting to get sick and tired of finding the reason I've been stuck in traffic for an hour is due to a broken down lorry.

Electronic overhead sign used as advertising Driving down the M90, approaching the Forth Road Bridge from the north side yesterday and one of the new(ish) overhead electronic signs appeared to be carrying an advert!! I have forgotten the product, but it said either "RedEx is mandatory" or "RainX is mandatory". I've never seen an advert on one of these si... 13 Aug 2010 13:37
Toyota problems down to drivers... It was a panic that sparked the worldwide recall of eight million cars. But the crisis over faulty accelerator pedals at Toyota may not have been nearly as bad as feared, an official report has claimed.

middle-class anti-social behaviour "I'll do as I like and stuff everyone else" seems to be the gist of this interview.

Gatsos on the motorway I entered a 50 zone on the motorway, I was cruising along at about 60-65mph waiting for a SPECS camera before slowing down. Then I noticed markings on the road for Gatso cameras, I didn't slow down in time and went through at about 65mph. I looked in my side mirror and saw that there were indeed unpainted Gatso... 12 Aug 2010 19:13

Nexen tyres I'd never heard of them, yet my 75 came already fitted with them. I have no clues as to their life yet, they were near new when i got it, however no matter how hard I have tried - at public road speeds in the wet or dry I have not come close to being able to unstick it. I could unstick my P6000's on my previou... 8 Aug 2010 12:21
What's wrong with these people, power crazed? I can't remember the last time I saw such an over the top reaction. It's a wonderful example of how some public servants think they're the masters and we are to do their bidding.

NCB insurance -a PHEW and a rant. A week or so ago I decided RAC's increasing insurance renewal cost and their statement in the small print of the renewal - that they would renew it anyway from my provided CC details, was the last straw. So I started shopping around and got myself a much better quote. Much cheaper and it covered for more. A ... 7 Aug 2010 13:42
