I never noticed buses or lorries behind with lights that dazzle from behind but some SUVs do. I suspect the best solution would be a stricter MOT test for headlights - it doesn't appear to have every been updates and they just wheel that thing in front of the light and look at it projected onto...

8 People die a year in accidents where being dazzled was an excuse used according to an RAC article I read yesterday.

You're unlikely to get busted for a positive deviation over the stop line as long as you do so with due diligence and don't cross the junction or gain any other advantage from doing so.

Can be normal on cars this side of the millennia with EBD to favour rear-bias braking in gentle city-speed braking and I suspect vans may be similar. Check the rear wheels are not hot after a long run without too much braking as if they are, the pads may be excessively dragging.

Also why the hell would you pay £98 to scrap your car, the going rate right now is around £200 payment to you.

Basically they will put your reported incident on an Insurance Claims Portal, where it will sit open for 2 years unless settled. https://www.claimsportal.org.uk/news/portal-upgrades/ It will sit there waiting for another insurer to find and match with a claim from their insured. I myself would...

Seems stupid to me that you can hand-in a foreign license and exchange it for a UK one. Okay maybe 60 years ago but should not be the case nowadays.

What car is it? What engine? Age? I think the brake pedal is a red herring. As cars that require the brake pedal to be pressed don't crank without it. The only think the brake pedal may have done is the master cylinder pull or release a little air from the intake manifold (depending on car/engine)

I do not like All-Seasons. 2-3 years ago I bought 4x Bridgestone WeatherControl Evo for wife's Megane and they seemed fine, but got 4 x Goodyear Vector Gen3 for my Audi A8 after they came top in the big review videos and they were awful. Just as I imagined winter tyres to be, expensive, noisy...

I was of the opinion that wheels for run-flat tyres have a differently profiled rim to secure the tyre to the rim when the tyre is running deflated.

These parts will be dealer-only. There are no pattern parts.

Experian run this service for Insurers, a former Colleague used to work there previously and warned me about this. Quote massaging. I too have done what you did just out of curiosity to see what makes a difference to the price and never had it cancelled though. Go though there official...

I can't remember when I last saw an RAC van, I do recall seeing AA though. I wonder what the market share is, or do they farm most things out like Green Flag? In fact, I would say RAC are now the third breakdown company behind AA and Green Flag - a position that used to be held by Green Flag.

Hmm, I wonder if that is just being exploitive or if they have crunched the stats on Days until policy start vs. risk ? I can imagine those who leave it until the last minute also do that for braking and maintenance etc....

I guess these prices are for no deposit, whereas the ones you see advertised on-line require a few grand to be stumped up immediately?

The main downside is if you have an accident they are unlikely to repair it/pay out again.

I bought a set of Goodyear Vector 4 season G3 a couple of years ago based on this channels test. Worst tyres I have ever had in every way. Never bother with tyre reviews after that.

Many new cars seem like this these days. Probably some new kind of even eco friendlier paint.

Check out Toolstation, Screwfix, Machine Mart and they mostly have reviews on their products. Also check ebay for top end used ratchetless drivers and such like.

What about Hydrocracked Vegetable Oil - HVO? it is made from vegetable oil but is made in a similar way to how fuels are made from crude. You can already buy it in bulk as a drop in replacement for the all but recently outlawed red diesel.
