Can't you read what I said?
No - I have a licence - and I know how to spell it.
You obviously don't know what a clutch does. Press the pedal and it DISENGAGES the engine (which, if you could read, is exactly what I said I did).
Mobile what? The quickest way of obtaining assistance is to use one of the emergency phones.
You seem to have problem stopping your car without using the accelerator. I strongly suggest you retake your test.

Which means you can easily coast to a halt.
Really? Your mobile is in your pocket, you have it NOW, not when you get to the phone. I used one of those stupid things once, when I'd forgotten my mobile. They just passed me through to the AA. So slower.
They're from the 60s when nobody had a mobile.
Reposted with the uk group re-added, or Ian won't see your reply. Don't f*ck about with the newsgroup line.

In my case it was a Focus cutting out due to a poorly soldered connection on the instrument cluster (it contains the chip that controls immobilisation). It cut out in the 3rd lane of the M60 ... in the roadworks where there was no hard shoulder :(

Which means you get free pickup.
And you can just drive between the cones to park.
