    Are Petrol Stations Ripping Us Off?

    It's a way to incentives you to use the supermarket and they make more margin on food. So basically they are selling the fuel at a bit more than costs, to get you to spend in store. And £120 is nothing for a family shop! You can always stock up on cleaning products/frozen if needed,

    Same here - even though a camera is on the side and is on the screen while you indicate!

    Is it time now to sort out young drivers

    And that is the issue I have with the order of right of way being pedestrian, bike, car. As a cyclist I know I will not win an argument with a car and I will come off far worse. So I never believe I have right of way and it's up to the car driver to stop. If I get hit I may win the moral...

    I dont know... most have us have ridden a push bike and there are plenty of SMIDSY incidents with cars and them.

    Is it time now to sort out young drivers

    Thats called experience. we will never get an 18yo to have the same skills as someone who has been doing 30k a year for the last 10 years. But in terms of observation skills, it is generally 70+ yo drivers who seem to drive on my local 60 road at 40!

    Would also result in a lot more accidents! Despite the fact I have a bike (only a 125) which I have had for the last 18m, I would not want my kids getting one at 17!

    Why are people buying electric cars?

    I think the question why, should only be aimed at those looking to change car in the next year or so, AND, if their budget is >10k. If your not changing or only have 5k to spend then the answer is obvious! Depending on what my son does after travelling he will 100% be going ICE - as 19/20 his...

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    I think it depends on where you live. No issue with parcels on the front door where I live, although normally they are left round the side behind the bins. Leaving with a neighbour would be a pain as mine are normally out - then you have the hassle of wanting to get parcel but neighbour is out...

    Is it time now to sort out young drivers

    The simple thing is just to make each new driver (regardless of age) have a black box for the first year. That measures various aspects of driving and if scores are good then insurance is cheaper and they get to lose the box. My son has just finished his first year, his score was very high so...

    Have to say I am impressed with the 18 Pro and thats compared to the 16 Pro.

    Conversely - you can pass a test and drive anything. I am doing my Mod 2 on my 125 shortly, which restricts me to that size (cant afford to spend £800 on a full license).

    Ok then, they get compulsory national service for 3 years then, let the army look after them!

    Is it time now to sort out young drivers

    I would like to see what our rates of incidents are for 'normal road use' - excluding idiots like those who drive on wrong side, take drugs and generally act like idiots. They will do that anyway regardless of the law. It simply needs tougher punishment on those driving without insurance etc...

    Is it time now to sort out young drivers

    Sorry - this is crazy. Sure, a few young idiots have killed themselves being silly. It will happen in any way be it bikes, scooters, cliff jumping etc... My son has been driving a year. Had a black box. Insurance co have monitored it and he has a very high score. No black box needed for his...

    Took some pics at a dark gig and impressed with them, seemed much better than my 16 pro which was not shabby!
