The state of play at Top Gear HQ seems to be a precarious one at the moment. Chris Evans has gone, it’s still not clear if the rest of the team have totally gelled and the show has had some of the lowest ratings of all time during the last series. It’s no wonder then […]
Well, I’ve finally managed to see the new series of Top Gear. Like most people, I have mixed feelings about it. Whether you loved or loathed Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, they were Top Gear. Removing the three lads from the show but keeping the same formula seemed like a strange decision for […]
BBC News has a rather fascinating article on how the 30 miles per hour limit came in to force. You can read it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31904471. Did you know for example that in 1934 there were one tenth of the cars on the road that we have today but four times as many deaths? Here at Car […]
Here at Car Articles, some news is bigger than others. This however is just about some of the biggest news we have featured in a long time. The absolutely brilliant Top Gear Live is coming to arenas across the UK in 2015! In association with Live Nation, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May all […]
This makes for some genuinely interesting, morbid, horrifying reading. The BBC has produced a map from official police statistics demonstrating the location of every UK road death from 1999-2010. In all, 36,371 fatalities are marked on the interactive map. Granted, it isn’t light or pleasing reading, but perhaps it will help you identify some accident […]

Some things in life do not come as a surprise – and for me at least the fact that Jeremy Clarkson is at the top of the BBC pay scale is one of those facts. Simply put, Top Gear is a show and format familiar quite literally around the world, and I say that in […]
The BBC has a new article on some features that could soon be coming to motorbikes – to make them much more safe than they are now. Recently, the likes of ABS have been fitted to motorbikes, which certainly makes stopping a more controlled affair, but the technology being looked at using Saferider systems is […]
The BBC is reporting that ACPO’s Mick Giannasi has spoken out against the budget cuts in relation to speed cameras, with his suggestion being that this action could well put lives at risk, at the expense of saving money. I’m very much in favour of following the evidence on this one – a life is […]
Ford has won two BBC Top Gear awards this year for two extraordinary cars. The first, the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, is Ford’s lowest CO2 emitting model, producing only 98g/km, snapping up the “Green Car of the Year” Award. Of course, that’s not the only reason that it took the prize. It’s a nimble, attractive piece […]
