Only one EV charger at home?!

And that is wrong in my opinion. Every case should be judged on its merits. Any law which deems the larger vehicle to be to blame, regardless of the circumstances, is by definition a Bad Law.

I worked with a Muslim guy. I overheard him on the phone to his insurance company describing the circumstances of an accident that he had been involved with. His opinion was evidently different to the insurance company's and he was getting very annoyed. After he'd finished, he asked my opinion. The car in front of him was indicating to turn right but there was a queue of traffic in the side road that it was turning into so it couldn't turn. And my colleague thought that this meant that it was OK for him to overtake that car in order to go straight on. The inevitable happened: as he started to overtake, the queue cleared and the car in front turned...

The gist of my colleague's argument seemed to be that he was Muslim, in Muslim countries it was allowed to overtake in that situation, and any rule here in the UK that was not in his favour was clearly anti-Islamic ;-)

The driver isnt crossing a lane in the situation being discussed.

But all vans are white, and so by definition, must be wrong, even when turning Hard Left...

I took my Garmin device (with American maps) to the USA a few years ago (before smart phones did the same thing).

American friends fell about laughing when they heard the instructions given in a very proper English accent .

Why learn to do something complicated when you have a simple easy to control brake pedal sat right in front of you?

And no, it's not controllable. You have a choice of a couple of gears to engine brake. Unless you toast the clutch, you only have two choices of engine braking quantity.

Ah, you're one of those. Leave massive gaps big enough for a bus to get into. I love people like you, I can cut in front easily.

I smashed the inside of my engine by overtaking in second when I thought I was in third. Would you beleive Renault hadn't invented the rev limiter by 1993?

There's no skill to learn, the whole point is it's automated. All you need to know is the harder you brake the less of it goes into your battery. So as has always been the case in any vehicle, to save money drive smoothly, for fun drive roughly.

Boring.

I find they're identical to manuals. Why would they be any different?

Why the f*ck would you limit yourself to what a number on a sign says?

Must have been a bigger house.

Why can't they just put in two single phase meters? It's not like she has a 3 phase lathe which would get over-metered.

You can also have a smaller engine, and for the small times you want massive acceleration to overtake, you use the motor aswell.

I like the smell of exhaust fumes. I also love the diesel fumes smell in train stations.

They also never think of the environmental cost of making the extra stuff. You need a bigger battery, it will wear out quicker. Your starter will wear out quicker.

Same goes for gas boilers. They made this combi s*it, but the boilers don't last so long.

I'm surprised cars are allowed to be designed like that.

I'm surprised cars are allowed to be designed like that.

I don't like that, but I used to love the smell of steam engines. I can still remember the smell (inasmuch as it is possible to remember smells).

My Renault Scenic 2002 has it, and it's wildly inaccurate. With a full tank it says it'll do 400 miles. I get about 250. Mind you the guage is also weird, the bottom half goes quicker than the top half.

You bought a piece of equipment just to see mpg?!

Why do you write "as if"? Clearly you use no fuel if you're engine braking, everyone knows that., therefore you can travel infinity miles.

My 1998 VW didn't have that. And the alternator wore out anyway.
