It’s completely illegal in the UK, but you may have a filter lane that either has it’s own set of lights on a different cycle or is not governed by lights.  On the whole you are more likely to encounter a roundabout at a large junction than traffic lights.

Someone will release a car which everyone here will hate because of the stupid grill, the rest of the car will be fine though.

I love the way there’s a line for Navistar with 0 vehicles, but lots of other brands have to use the ‘Other’ line despite there being more of them.

I did love my first car, although in retrospect it was because of what it allowed me to do what it allowed me to do, rather than the car itself. It was a blue Rover 216 and while the reliability was fine at the time, nowadays I’d call it somewhat sketchy (my current car is 13 years old and has only let me down when I…

I kind of get the idea that deadlines at Tesla are set by the people who dream up the ideas and not the poor people who have to turn them into an actual product that works and doesn’t cost the moon. Can Tesla bring a new roadster to the market? Yes, given time. Will it have all the features that have been randomly…

It’s a horrible mess, but I like it.

I’ve guessing you have to climb in the roof opening because I’m not seeing any doors.

“I’m not slowing,

Bono, My Tires Are Shot: The Musical.  A grown man moans about things not being perfect in perfect lyrical harmony.

I have to say two things:

Maybe it’s just the era I grew up in, but whenever I see a line of buses parked up I expect to see someone on a motorbike jumping over them.

It’s like they paused 2/3 of the way along and then forgot to do the back end.

Can you say the name three times quickly without accidentally saying ‘mustache’?

I suppose you could have some sort of sliding counter-counterweight on the payload side which slides down the arm to replace the mass released, or use some kind of fluid system, maybe releasing releasing water from the counterweight; but you’re right, releasing is going to be a huge strain on the mechanism.

And this is why many companies working with this sort of thing employ a third-party inspector. I work in this sector and if our customer wants to pay the money that’s what they get, and if they want samples provided so they can test them themselves, that’s what they get. There’s a huge amount of documentation we…

That was my thought, if you have power, then you can either back down towards the hinge to cause minimum (or possibly no) damage, or gun it and hope reality is the same as the movies.

There is a width restrictor in my area that was put in as the road is a great cut-through to avoid traffic when that area snarls up, but it isn’t a suitable road for any volume of traffic as when there are cars parked each side you can only pass single file. The restrictor is placed at a sudden bend so no matter…

There is one in my area still being used daily and another I see is street-parked so it must see regular use.

There not much in a 2CV that you can’t fix with a hammer, a piece of string and a stick of chewing gum.  It was literally built for shitty roads and you have to try really hard to get it stuck somewhere you can’t just lift it out of.

Well, not sure how it works on your side of the Atlantic, but transferring money directly from bank account to bank account has always seemed more legit to me once you get into 5 figures.
