They were following the Cumbrian TrafPols.

No mention of cameras......Can't believe Steve missed a photo opportunity.

They attended a couple of motorcycle accidents. One caused by an American tourist that forgot what side of the road to drive on... :o

It may be an urban myth but I also heard that the manual for the Wanabago in question was modified to explain that the cruise control ONLY maintained speed and the driver must still steer the car.

This was supposedly because they were sued and lost.

Maybe true, maybe a myth.

you would think they would have the intelligence to think 'how does it know where we are going?'
