Fog lights MOT

How old is your car that it takes that long? That rule was made before disk brakes and ABS were invented.

I understand it perfectly. It reduces the distance you can see, therefore the people behind me should allow more space and travel more slowly. What if an unlit deer, pedestrian, dog, etc walks in front of them? If they require lights to see what's in front of them, they shouldn't be driving.

All my car manufacturers of the autos I've had must have got it wrong in the handbooks then. Perhaps I should write to them all and tell them Plowcunt says you are all wrong. That would be BL, Renault, VW, LR, Jeep, Suzuki. Don't think I've missed anyone.

Which bit of "reflection" do you not understand?

What's reflection to do with it? An unlit car will reflect as well as an unlit dog or pedestrian. If you can't see one you can't see the other. Don't expect everyone else to display themselves to you with flashing lights.

There is with the best dual clutch systems that apply the brake auto when stoped and auto disconnect the clutch so it never gets overheated. Basically its like your use of the handbrake without you actually having to do anything every time you stop. That would suit me fine and I have just discovered that the car I am considering, the Hyundai i30 does that from the owners manual.

Still doesn?t do what I need otherwise tho,, the best cruise control that allows you to set an increment over the speed limit that you want it to cruise at and have it cruise at that speed in towns on a long trip. Stupid to have manually adjust the cruise speed at each speed limit change.

But what I want will be mandated by the EU forget the date so presumably all cruise controls will do that soon.

Have you read the Highway Code recently? Are you illiterate? Where does it give stopping *times*?

Show us how you work out you can stop and all UK legal speeds in less than 2 seconds?

I said you can't.

It gives distances at specific speeds. Speed = distance over time, hope this helps.

You're not very bright.

2) We have also established you don't have a clue to calculate stopping times.

Hyundai has never said that.

Yes.

A car coming towards you at 70mph is covering 31 meters in a second.

A third of a second hesitation brings it 10 meters closer to impact.

And an automatic MOT failure.

Good to know you do everything it says in your handbook to the letter.

Now answer my point about the heat generated by the TC under heavy use, rather than idling. I'm sure you'll find the answer in that handbook which is the source of all your knowledge.

Mine does use the brakes to hold the car on a hill. One which applies the parking brake automatically is also going to need some throttle to start creeeping. Rather than just using the footbrake to control that - when say parking.

I've not driven an auto with an auto parking brake. So not sure which is best.

He's certainly got quite a memory, our bert. Must devour his handbooks avidly.

But of course it make sense for safety reasons not to leave the car in drive when not needed. It also wastes fuel on an auto.

QED

Why are you talking to yourself?
