Auto Express has written about some recent research by the DfT, which states that half of us speed beyond 70mph when on motorways. Given that is the case, perhaps the next question should be about road safety – yet apparently there were 12% less deaths on our roads last year than previous. So, what should […]
The latest round of checks carried out by accessories retailer Halfords has shown that those who choose to eat behind the wheel could be putting their health at risk, due to levels of bacteria in vehicles. Is this really surprising? Well, yes and no. Firstly, we spend quite a lot of time in our cars, […]
The Mail Online has an excellent (and harrowing) account of one man’s encounter with the most nightmarish of situations on the road – running over a child. It is certainly thought provoking and puts a nod in the direction of lowering urban speed limits to 20mph. Perhaps after reading it you’ll agree. Read the full […]
The Mail Online is reporting that the new driving test, which will be introduced from October 4th, will incorporate a ‘memory’ element that will require the examinee to memorise a route given by an examiner. The new element to the test will take ten minutes to complete, and will also require the completion of a […]

Much of what has seemingly been proposed seems like a sensible proposition – for example cutting the speed around schools or where […]
The Mail Online is reporting that a town that was previously using speed cameras switched them off – only to find that accident statistics remained static over the same period. As expected, some areas of the motoring community spoke out and suggested that this highlighted the fact that safety cameras were and are a tax […]
Hot on the heels of the previous coverage of the Mitsubishi ASX, here’s another article. To support the launch of the new crossover vehicle, Mitsubishi have released a new online game which offers you the chance to win a brand new ASX. Players are set various ‘missions’ and ‘mini-games’, which unlock product features and accumulate […]
The Mail Online is reporting that Toyota is having more car worries – this time with the premium brand Lexus. The car in question is the Lexus GX460, an extremely large four by four vehicle with significant electronics on board. Apparently, the problem arises when the car is driven into a corner and the accelerator […]
The Mail Online is reporting that drivers have been hit by speeding fines to the tune of more than £1 billion. Police forces around the country could, until 2007, keep some of the money raised by this system. This of course provides an incentive for a force to put more cameras up. My question is […]
