There's a world of difference between two cars passing safely and two cars crashing into each other. I see that as a major reason for higher accuracy being required. Satnav itself - for general purposes - doesn't really need much improvement. But I do fully understand your need. Finding the...

If needed, he'll just (pretend) to pardon himself.

Many years ago I worked in Reading. One day, a new one-way system was instituted in the middle of an ordinary working day. Trouble was, vehicles were parked the wrong way round on some of the roads and couldn't simply turn round. It was reported that the police were very dischuffed with the...

I don't think those suckers will result in many new strawberry plants. :)

What a dog's breakfast... Security row over EU Galileo satellite project as Britain is shut out Fears over impact on Brexit talks with UK taxpayers having already contributed £1bn I'll just note that until very recently, there was considerable trust between/among countries about very serious...

Just wish the discounts were on the Raleigh Motus Grand Tour 2018. :(

More likely more moped thieves would carry guns, with the obvious likelihood of more injuries from flying lead. Whether moped riders or victims.

And a medicine with which I am familiar is being sold to the NHS at about £253 for 28 tablets. In Greece, the equivalent medicine is about 1.2 euros for 28. It isn't even as if the UK product is super-fantastic, ultra-quality. Many who have tried both prefer the Greek product. The high price...

Given that many current generation (ha!) electric vehicles are heavy and quite a few have impressive acceleration, we might see tyre and brake pad pollution increase. Mind, don't get the impression that air in the country is always so wonderfully clean! The dust and fine chaff thrown up by...

I am not desperate. Whether to put the blame on trucks or to avoid action against cars. It just seems obvious to address all polluting vehicles. The refrigeration unit issue is significant. AIR POLLUTION AND RED DIESEL Session: 2016-17 Date tabled: 15.03.2017 Primary sponsor: Mulholland...

Which size frame did they offer? For example, Cube say that the Elly Cruise Hybrid is available in 42, 46, 50, 54. And the Elly Ride Hybrid in 46, 50, 54. https://www.cube.eu/en/2018/e-bikes/trekking/comfort/elly/cube-elly-cruise-hybrid-400-pistachionblue-2018-easy-entry/ I too am looking for...

As I see things, just because they are not the largest part of the problem doesn't seem to make them not a problem. I assume when you say they are not a problem, that includes the things like refrigeration units which often also run on diesel and produce their contributions?

However, if truckers are cheating... https://www.driving.co.uk/news/british-lorry-operators-found-cheating-diesel-emissions/ Then who knows?

If we have to buy our electricity from foreign countries (whether down a wire or in humungous batteries :) ) we are not sovereign and in charge of our destiny. If one of the countries we import from gets sleighted by one of our politicians, maybe a foreign secretary who lacks tact?, then they...

Yes - cars are dominant. But HGVs produce about 16% of CO2 (against 63% combined for petrol plus diesel cars). So over three times the CO2 that mileage alone would suggest.

Pedantry for the sake of mild amusement - it isn't the voters who are split, it is the population of voters. I just had an instant mind-picture of people walking around split in half - looking rather like like carcases in a meat lorry.

Sorry, but HGV pollution is a problem. I certainly accept that for quite a number of years now, modern HGVs have been fitted with sophisticated equipment for cleaning up. We'd probably find that if measured on a per tonne basis (whether per tonne of vehicle and load, or just per tonne of load...

Afraid I really can't see 0 to 60 in 20 seconds being such a wonderful idea for a lorry with a 36 tonne load. (Especially if it then speeds up as it approaches stationary vehicles...) As I understand, such high acceleration will inevitably use more energy than more modest rates, will impose a...

I too try very hard to be considerate - though surely sometimes others will think otherwise?
