Drivers and their problems

If youve got 10-15mins to waste sure do it that way, or just get an ice scraper.

What ever happened to those front windscreens with heating elements, Ford patented it iirc which is why it never went mass market.

Here's another one from the same artist from a couple of years ago

Sadly, this is not quite funny enough- we need it on a beach with the tide coming in, or equivalent

I like the

It's a bit silly. We've got a zebra crossing so they have to stop to let people cross...

"Business park manager Andrew Wenzerul authorised the withdrawal of the penalty notice.

He said the double yellows had recently been introduced onsite to ease congestion and understood some drivers were not yet aware of them."

I thought yellow lines took the form they do (i.e. Yellow lines painted on the road) precisely so that drivers don't need a letter in triplicate from the Ministry of Transport and daily text message alerts from all concerned landowners and Highways authorities to warn them of parking restrictions. Just use your eyes, they are there for all to see.

I do feel his pain. Sandwich from the canteen v home cooked Bolognese lunch...no contest, although I suspect his canteen sandwich v my canteen sandwich would be an equally unfair match. A friend spent Xmas in Bologna and her hosts cooked absolutely everything from scratch, not much got bought in except fresh meat, fresh veg, fresh dairy, oil and flour; and all that produced from within a few miles of home. Anyway, my Rustler's burger just pinged in the microwave...must go!

I think technically a vintage car has to have been built between 1919 and 1930 (pretty sure that Allegros weren't being built then…).  Before 1919 are veteran or Edwardian.

A historic car generally has to have been built before 1983.

Every sympathy of course for the loss of his daughter, but the excuse "At the time I was in a bad way. My head was all over the place" does, I'm afraid, just beg the question of what on earth he was doing piloting a potentially lethal tonne of metal on the public highway when his mind was in that state?

someone has latched onto the freedoms granted to so-called Historic vehicles (no MOT, no ULEZ, £0 VED)

You're living in the past! Up here in Go Ahead, Cut Red Tape Lancashire everybody is entitled to those freedoms if they have the sense to claim them. This is FN19 FSY

I'd love for them to put a number on that "inappropriate speed"

but they do a lot of blocking now, so you often only get 1 or 2 sentences of the article.
