Also, whilst I am on my soap box - Car warranties. They are the biggest rip off ever. There should be a lifetime manufacturer warranty attached to every car. If something goes wrong then the manufacturer should be under an obligation to fix no matter the age. The only exemption should be where cars are not correctly serviced/ looked after.
I suppose the issue with that would be some stubborn twat would keep his car til it was 70 years old. There has to be a point where a car company stops generating parts etc for old models, especially moving towards green powered vehicles. Agree with the thought though
There’s a solution to that: you lease the car and pay by the mile you drive (including fuel and repairs). The company is therefore incentivised to build a car that’s reliable and fuel efficient, as, unlike the current way, if the car falls apart or guzzles more fuel than they claim, it’s the manufacturer who pays extra, not the customer. It’s the model Rolls Royce use for their jet engines, so it’s not a new idea, but we may see it more widely adopted for cars in future.
Why? What else do you buy that you expect to be perfect forever? Agree with warranty (free) for a set time set by car expert engineers. The length a car should go without any problems but subject to regular servicing. After that you’re on your own.
Do you mean for example that you are going straight on and there are no other exits before? Regardless I always indicate to leave a roundabout as it just takes away the element of doubt for the other drivers using it? You can't assume people are going straight ahead so you don't pull out in case they are going turning across you so you stay put only to find that they leave at turning before you. Can all be avoided if you move your hand 6 inches off the steering wheel
Most users of the A19 need to be shot with ****. I use the road on a very regular basis and just past the tube tunnel going south bound until I hit North Yorkshire, it’s a free for all when it comes to lunacy and terrible driving. I was going down to york at Xmas eve and some dick splash cut me up just after Testos roundabout to take the turn off for the Nissan garage. Very nearly took off my front end! Utter spunk donkey! Aside from that, everyone seems to be in a bloody daze. Dropped the mrs off at work today and some **** waffle, near the Tyne bridge decides to sway from lane to lane. Honest to god I think I’m going to die in a road traffic crash up here!
Also, the state of the roads needs to be seriously addressed. They’re a ****ing disgrace. More holes than Swiss cheese!
Another BMW twat decided to tail gate on Christmas Day. Didn't like the fact that I wouldn't move over despite doing the speed limit. Then decided to cut me off and nearly causing a crash. Then had the nerve to stay at the traffic lights and not let me past when they were on green. Caught the **** on dashcam. Car, reg and face. Will the Police do anything? Absolutely not.
They will if you present them with a complaint and the evidence Dash cams and CCTV are the extra Bobby on the street and is better than 'hearsay'
I think if you Could be just moved over it's easier just risking your own death holding people up mate ...
Send it and see. Understand the Police are more receptive these days. Ring them first and see if there is a particular place to send it to or particular person. PS Read to end before posting, read to end before posting...
A couple of twats were racing recklessly near where I live and I wrote down one of their ref numbers and reported them to the old bill. Plod rang me to say they'd been round to warn them. Turds had been driving on the grass, could have killed someone, tossers.
Did you have video evidence or just what you saw? If the former then surprised, if the latter do you blame them?
