"Tens of thousands of families will have to pay up to £245 extra a year under new road tax rules after a covert government decision to include cars up to seven years old. "The Treasury admitted to The Times last night that it was quietly abolishing the exemption for older cars from the highest...

As you may know, the M42 has a trial of the scheme, which is now to be rolled out on many other motorways. That notwithstanding, here is a nice animation which shows how it all works (click on Drive Through or Signs and Signals): http://www.highways.gov.uk/knowledge/documents/atm_start.swf

Just looking through "Autocar" this morning when I noticed the 60 - 0 braking times for the tested cars in the back. Looked up the Merc SL and its got one of the best times! (Actually only one car beats it) Always thought that the brakes are good.Given the emphasis on 0-60 mph times when testing...

Already in use in Birmingham for the last year, which has proved 'successful' in reducing congestion. Plans are for the M25 to use this idea, with the matrix signs indicating if the lane is to be used. 1. Emergency vehicles go where in an accident? 2. Breaking down/tyre repair would be dicey 3...

You're not going to believe this. Sent Mike (who's 11) on Sunday to get the Sunday Times from the "local" Co-op. It's not really local, but the village store is a bit of a pain to get to, so he went to the Co-op instead. They refused to sell it to him as you have to be 18 to buy it!! All...
