BBC News - New charge for foreign lorries using British roads So whilst I fully support the idea, I can't help thinking that once the French have stopped complaining about it and blocking the ports, I am going to find myself hit with a charge as soon as arrive in Calais in return.

As some of you may remember, I have had front end suspension renewal recently. Changed shocks on all for corners of the car and changed balljoints and lower control arm bushings in the front. Car feels much more solid now. Only thing is when driving on rough roads and hitting pot holes the...

Here we go.. plenty of fine country roads out there, so let's reduce the speed limit on all of them in a 'one size fits all' move. Why does this country have to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator. BBC News - Speed limits: 40mph plan for country roads

Intereting this idea of Mssers' Cameron and Osborne BBC News - Private cash needed to boost roads network, says David Cameron

This is quite a sobering link - UK Road Deaths 1999-2010 No surprises I guess, but some interesting stats on peak times for injuries for different traffic types, etc.

Hi guys, My better half recently bought me a camcorder for my birthday and I am trying to learn the ropes of creating and editing videos. After a nice week long break along the North Coast of the Emerald Isle, armed with my camcorder and suction mount, I thought I would take the opportunity...

Hello, first post so please be gentle :) I'm considering a C63 estate for my wife as an everyday family car. She drove one at a dealer yesterday and loved it, but is concerned about its practicality in the depths of winter in rural Bucks. It's obviously powerful and RWD and she doesn't want...

Guys, I'm heading north for a few days over the next week, Chester area then on to the Lakes. I'd really like to get some good driving roads in, any suggestions? cheers.

I am very angry at these people trying to cycle up a 10-15% hill on an A road taking up a whole lane. I had to do emergency breaking when one such idiot appeared right in front of me in the middle of the lane (there was a steep hill on a turn with poor visibility in the distance). The two lanes...

The report found a third of serious crashes happened at junctions Half of all fatal road crashes occur on one-tenth of Britain's roads, according to charity the Road Safety Foundation. Its report, covering 28,000 miles of A-roads and motorways, says Scotland has the highest risk highways...

Not sure if this has been posted before... made me laugh... CXFZMGddENA

I posted this as a response to another thread last night , but it struck me as such a simple idea that I'm amazed it hasn't been done already . Having had two cars written off by uninsured drivers ( when they were parked outside my house and I wasn't even in them ) , the scum who just drive...

I came across this today. Amazing to see going round the roundabout ahead. I've always wanted one ever since top gear tested them in 2003. But at £50K as they were latterly sold? :eek: I understand Carver have gone bust now because so few people bought one at that price - Shame really as I...

Has any one else noticed the awful state that the roads are in, it seems that along with the pot holes there is a lot of surface damage and here in Warwickshire a lot of the drains and inspection covers have dropped, some by 4 or so inches.

Two men drive car for a mile on frozen Union Canal.. and have lucky escape when it sinks - The Daily Record :doh:

The 09 disc is titled as uk and tmc and major roads of europe. So does it cover only major roads ie motorways and other main roads or will it actually take me to my hotels? ie in town centres, petrol stations etc etc Bloody TomTom:doh: Lynall

This is an interesting story... The thought has been kicking around for a number of years but looks like some decent research and trials may start soon. I guess there will be issues to be sorted around insurance liabilities, etc, and as new technology would need to be embedded into vehicles...
