Have you got anything useful to say whatsoever? For the record, I have a clean licence which I've held for over 10 years, I've had no at-fault accidents, and was motivated to look into these systems after a friend of mine had an incident where the other driver was clearly at fault. Footage from his ...

This might be better in the General Chat forum - if so then mods feel free to move this thread. I'm considering getting a dash cam system, but all the ones available seem to be unsuitable for various reasons. My requirements are: 1. Two cameras, front and rear facing 2.

Going back to the original topic, on this occasion I think the Top Gear presenters may well have got it right: If you recall the News item a few weeks back, the opinion was that if the limit were to be increased to 80mph, it would then become rigidly enforced. The problem being that 80mph is 15mph s...

Following recent snow the conditions weren't exactly ideal. And driving through a temp 50 motorway limit enforced by SPECS cameras there was a string...

Hmmm... tailgating, one of my pet hates. I'm not a slow driver. (Despite the display name I'm not a maniac either, I'm just a huge Top Gear fan!) But sometimes I'll have some idiot mouth-breather crawling up my exhaust pipe, usually when I'm "following through" another car on a motorway ov...

I get this as well. I still think there's people convinced that NSL is 50mph, or even 40mph, rather than 60mph. Not sure if it's badge snobbery or not (I drive an old Golf with 160K+ on the clock), but it does seem to be the people carrier drivers that dislike being overtaken. Whether they somehow t...
