It would be cheaper, if he has access to a tyre fitting machine.

I'm not stupid enough to have a dog, but I've walked other people's dogs. It's not difficult to tell it to go when there's nobody watching.

Had to learn that in 7th grade. I doubt it's in the current curriculum.

Supposedly it equalizes the wear. I'm not overly convinced but I have to change the four tires anyway, might as well mark them.

Two sets. The wheels the studded tires are on don't have sensors so I ignore that light all winter. The left rear is a slow leaker so that's a known quantity.
The studs are also 14" versus 15" for the street tires. That throws the speedometer off but I'm used to looking at the GPS instead. The previous Toyota had one of those bisexual center mounted instrument clusters to save a few bucks but this one has it in front of the wheel.

Absolutely. The first pass was a federation of states but the assholes who wrote the constitution changed it from the united state to the United States.
Then that fascist asshole Lincoln killed a few hundred thousand people to turn it into the Roach Motel.

Most of the trails around here have dispensers for plastic bags and a cartoon of what you're supposed to do with them. However they leave one step off the cartoon, the part where you take the plastic bag full of dog shit with you.

Since 2017 over 91 mph in a 70 limit can be a fine of 150% of your weekly income plus a driving ban of 28 days or 6 points on your licence. If your car's speedometer says 99mph then you may actually only be travelling at 90 mph where, in good weather and safe road conditions, the fine may be 50% of your weekly income and 3 points on your licence. There is a fine line between travelling at 90mph and 92 mph!
Points on your licence or a driving ban can/will increase your insurance premium so extra cost are involved further down line.

Never made a blind bit of difference to mine. Insurance company said 'no correlation between speeding and accident risk'

Our council has similar - they are large plastic tanks, in the shape of a squat oil can, with a large, yellow cap - which actually has a lift-up flap and a filter mesh in it, to allow you to empty your oil into it.

I change tires on one of the bikes that has tube tires but tubeless can be a pain. I bought the spare rims in 2007 so they're paid for. The studs are on fancier alloy wheels while the street tires are on OEM steel wheels with crappy plastic covers but so it goes.

No, they simply never asked and when I questioned them they said it was a technical offence and they ignored it - only offences like due care and attention of dangerous driving were issues. As was where I lived, where I parked, how much mileage I did and what I did for a living.
3 points for exceeding a 30? yawn. They don't care about 'speed awareness' courses either- Vote on answer

No, they are right. Plenty of drivers are quite capable of deciding for themselves when exceeding the speed limit is safe.

It proves it can be done. Any car that can't do that is badly designed.
You've never heard of a car burning oil? You've never topped up low oil?
Our cars must be more advanced than yours, because ours have a light to warn you it's not pumping properly.
You most certainly did. Before you went snobby and bought a new car.
