    The 30mph speed limit is unsuitable for much of today's driving conditons

    Apart from the obvious danger areas, for example, school zones, narrow side streets and the like. I did the first IAM observed drive today - two hours long, and for those two hours I held up the traffic constantly, as my observer "forced" me to observe the 30mph limit along a selection of A...

    Why would a car's speed alter its tendency to pull left?

    I've just had an alignment done and was wondering why the car feels like it wants to go left above approx 70 km/h - and the tendency increases the faster you go. What could be causing this [not tires its always the same even when things are swapped around]....!??

    Engineering The Maximum Speed Of Vehicles

    How I love my car and it's performance, along with the numerous bikes and superbikes I've owned over the years :thumb:. However, I do wonder why manufacturers produce vehicles that can go twice the speed limit (and more for some cars/countries). The "power to get me out of trouble" argument...
