Let us invert that: It would be safe (or at least safer) for all cars to be able to travel at speeds considerably in excess of the speed limit? They have to come up with cases like tractors. Well, in my recent experience, the majority of tractors can travel at almost 30 mph and pull over when...

Bizarrely, down here the roads are generally better than most of the rest of the UK - or at least what I am familiar with. Even just over in Carmarthenshire they are worse.

I am surprised how few vehicles overtake me - even when there is a suitable extra lane available. Certainly some do but I have actually got used to being part of a nicely spaced out, near-speed limit "convoy".

But aren't we going to have our own BritSatNav GPS system?

My own car does use brakes - the other one I regularly drive is hybrid and can use regen to some extent. Yes, a particular spot near here, the "main" road does a right-turn and remains at 30, the straight-ahead direction is signed 20 mph just a few metres past the turn. The car always indicates...

Having adaptive cruise control in my car, I find myself setting it to current speed limit much of the time. And it is spectacularly effective when descending steep hills. My reservations include the accuracy of the sources of speed limits. How do the systems manage to update fast enough when...

The government has responded to the “Revoke article 50 and remain in the EU” petition and has announced that it will debate it in Westminster on Monday. The petition has so far garnered more than 5.7m signatures. Here is the full text of the response by the Department for Exiting the...

If it passeth, then it passeth all understanding.

It is bad when even your own party lays into you: Theresa May is effectively gone. She is a leader in name only Michael Heseltine This is a national humiliation, made in Britain, made by Brexit. And the prime minister has no control over events...

Just how will that work with respect to NI/RoI border? Nothing in your post suggests it would not apply to that border.

I'm tempted to say: Keep taking the tablets... Moses said that he could not speak eloquently... so sent Aaron (or is that Arron? ;)) in his place. We have to suffer ten plagues. With what is Boris threatening those who support remain? "Moses, out of anger, broke the tablets, and later ordered...

On the current 5 million+ petition, it says: Waiting for 4 days for a debate date This time has not shortened as the days go by, indeed, it has increased, as at one point it said one day. Anyone know how the number of days is managed?

Failure to get your message across makes a protest towards the futile end of the scale. And if the number of people in the photos is anything to go by, they were somewhat short of the Farage amble, let alone the London event. :) 23rd March 'Leave means leave' - pro-Brexit protesters...

Am somewhat surprised at the number of rejected brexit petitions. Give us No Deal Brexit on the 29th March 2019 We don't care about the economy Rejected Vote ONLY WTO or PMs deal. NO REMAIN under ANY circumstances! Rejected Honour the brexit result and leave the EU as instructed by the...

The electorate of the UK in December 2018 was 45,775,800 - so 65 million would be a suspicious overkill! And we are currently at around 1 in 9 having signed. I think that is pretty high in just a few days without, as has been observed before, any pre-publicity. (Yes, I know that eligibility...

Quite right! Thanks for the correction.

Can we not have Mrs Hinch as replacement? With her guide to making brexit (or remain) "fun".

Which made me ask, what would happen if no-one would accept the poisoned chalice?
