  1. Nope, foot down on u turn is immediate fail, no second attempt
  2. Trouble is...would a 16 year old given 2 days training be any more sensible than they are now? Probably not.
  3. If they're going to stagger anything it should be that those with a car license can still pass in a day. No car license means needs more like a week. Terrified me that a 16 year old who has never driven on the road or even picked up the highway code can be allowed to ride around after 3 or 4 hours training. Or half an hour if you listen to the rumours of dodgy test centres.
  4. Depends on the venue. Not illegal but a lot of places now ban it. Also watch for - over smoking the e cig...you end up having 60 or 80 a day equivalent as it tastes nice. People at work say you have to buy the good liquid as the cheap stuff has all sorts in it (?) Guess that goes for everything really. Might be better than smoking but still suspected to cause respiratory issues!
  5. Says event not available?
  6. Hahahaha fantastic! About time karma got him
  7. Don't even get bmwdave started on a similar issue with a private road....
  8. I'm here! Just not had the bike out that much this year
  9. Been on a short one, just the supervised ride. Definately worth it
  10. My phone draws quite a high amp (galaxy note) and I found I had to shop around as a lot of the chargers only had half the power supply I needed. Presumably you have the cheapo one fitted. Not that mine was expensive, it was like 4 quid extra.
  11. I was wondering why it was quiet on here

    Speeding

    I've been pulled twice Once I was driving like a loon in a hire car. I didn't argue, was polite and got a bit of bollocking about it being a red route, and told if he caught me again id be in deep doo-doo then was sent on my way. He'd been following me for a while and it was a fair shout. I fully deserved a ticket that day. The other was an ass. He claimed I was doing over 40mph, which I wasn't, plus he was 3 cars back so love to know how he got a camera on me! id just shot off the line from the lights and he said I was chasing another police car that had gone through on blues and twos a minute ago, in fact I was trying to get ahead of the car next to me so I could turn right at the next traffic lights where home was 100m away. Yes I could have waited and dropped in behind but I didn't want to. He was a twat. Would have loved to argue but couldn't get a word in edgeways then he said he was on an urgent job (so why stop me in the first place? Also he had no lights or siren on) And he shot off down the road. People like that give police officers a bad name.
  13. You will pretty much always get a bit wet. Best option if you're that bothered, spend 20 quid on some plastic overalls. You get specific ones although any extra large set will do. Not classy but will keep more of the rain off
  14. Hmmm attempted murder charge?
  15. Some bargains to greece at the moment. September good time to go as it's just cooling down as well
  16. European will come with no extra taxes US/China etc will come with taxes unless the sender says it is a gift. some poeple in China send as gift or sample to avoid taxes on arrival but US are a lot stricter and always declare it for its proper value
  17. Unless advertised as trade sale or sold as seen then they have a legal obligation to provide 3 month guarantee. Plus goods have to be fit for purpose, I'd say no headlights makes a vehicle unfit for use. I'm no legal expert but pretty sure the garage can bugger off I'd they think they don't have to help
  18. Still a good read and congrats on getting published!! Keep 'em coming
  19. Mwhahaha time for me to experiment with some mild blackmail
  20. No experience. ...but don't see how she can stop you without a court order and she'll never get one ( unless you have some very sketchy driving history with convictions maybe)
  21. Technically if it's free is he still buying it? But yeah no offence to other forum members but I wouldn't trust my head with any helmet that's been out the box before...bby the time you find out its already had a knock, it's too late...
  22. Just go straight to DAS. Imo its safer. Point out the 125 stuck doing 50 while a lorry is squeezing past on a dual carriageway and then you'll realise why I think so!
  23. You have to resit the cbt every two years. So yes they're right, back to cbt again. at least it's only one day and £100
