M1 accident emergency lane blocked - YouTube 5'.25" If your a member here, I bet your embarrassed now :devil:.

Picked up a W202, that seems very unstable at high speed 70+mph. The steering is overly light i.e a tiny bit of movement makes the car move sharply between lanes, the car is also effected badly by side winds needing small constant corrections. The car has recently had both the front and rear...

Hopefully it will be passed in July.... "Ministers hope to get the 80mph measure through Parliament before MPs break up for their own holidays in July." M-way speed limit set to be raised to 80 this summer - Politics - News - People.co.uk

Motorway services 'rip-off' drivers Drivers are being ripped off by "greedy" motorway service retailers, according to a survey by What Car? magazine. Motorists pay far more for such items as petrol, food and drink than they would at high street outlets, the survey showed. What Car...

Yesterday morning my wife was taking the girls to school. This involves driving along the M2 in Kent in rush hour. While going along the car (C240 Auto Petrol) suddenly and without warning cuts out - no power. She is in the outside lane in heavy traffic doing about 65. As she hits the...

Standard pressure on the 500E with a fully loaded car running 225/55/16 all round, is 36 psi up front and 41 psi on the rear. Now I'm not running factory size wheels and tyres, I'm running 255/40/17 on the rear and 225/45/17 on the fronts. What tyre pressure should I be running with these...

Has anyone seen someone doing this before? Last week I accelerated off the roundabout to the motorway (Fairly blind corner to start) only to find someone reversing down the run-off. The motorway had stopped completely due to an accident but the van behind me (Who also had to make a very quick...

I thought I had seen it all! Tonight on my way home I was on the M25 heading clockwise from Heathrow. Traffic was slow but after the M3 started to speed up. I was in the middle lane the traffic was travelling at around 60mph. In my rear view mirror I noticed a black Audi A6 Avant (I got the...

Nice surprise driving into Auckland today, somebody I don't mind moving left for at all.........

Okay, one for you that I've been meaning to ask for while since it happened though never got round to it. Say lane one is a dedicated filter lane for leaving at the next junction. Can you undertake traffic that intends to remain on the motorway in lane two? The example I use is the M25...

I know that some on here drive the length and breadth of the land for a living. For others, like me, driving isn’t the day job but forms a significant part of my working week. I look after accounts all over the UK for a small company so can be at all four points of the compass in the course of...

Imagine the scene, you have just driven onto a slip road, and you are confronted by some of the slowest drivers in history, attempting to access the motorway at 40 mph, causing Trucks, Coaches, Vans and Cars, to either slow down or change lanes, knock-on effect of which is, If you are behind...

Traffic cops were stunned to find Darth Vader stranded at the side of a motorway – in R2D2's car. Dave Prowse, who played the Dark Lord in the original Star Wars films, bought the Mercedes CL500 from Kenny Baker, who lives in Ashton, Preston, around six years ago. He was driving north on the...

Hello there, I've just bought a '98 C250TD Sport Auto Estate, i've had it go into limp mode a couple of times now after motorway journeys using cruise control. (50 miles) Quick engine on/off revives it. Any ideas as to what it could be? Using the search mode points to MAP sensor and EGR...

We do a lot of motorway driving early on Saturday and Sunday mornings (on the way to dog shows). Mostly M3, M4, M25, M23, M1, M40. I would say almost every trip we get a totally spurious warning or speed limit from the orange matrix signs. Last Saturday on a deserted M4 at about 7AM it was...

The lane nearest the central reservation - officially called the Fast Lane. This lane is reserved for use by important people and those in a hurry. "Important people" are those who can afford expensive cars (Mercedes E200, Lexus, Jaguar etc) - their time is costly and they can easily afford to...
