You don't normally wear a helmet on the freeway do you? The Nordschleife is a freeway in German law.

In German law it is a "Restricted access one-way toll road" that just happens to finish at the same place it starts. There is actually a second toll booth half way around which is not always open, so conceivably you could go somewhere on it.

It's a point of contention here in the UK. I usually pass in the "slow" lane a few times on my way home from work, when people sit in the passing lane at 10-15 under the limit for no reason. I just sit in my lane and drive at the speed limit. Nothing bad about that, surely?

If you look at the spot on Street View, I think the only way that pass would have been a tight squeeze is if someone was overtaking on the other side too - and even then I think there's enough room for four abreast. It's a seriously wide road to not be a dual carriageway.

Looks like two lanes to me - although it probably used to have a third lane in the middle which was removed and then the remaining two lanes were made wider. They're called "suicide lanes" for a reason.

Big companies ruin F1. It used to just be car companies, but now we have a choice of either cars or energy drinks.

Pretty much. However, in Europe the test is so ridiculously specific (seriously, look it up ) that you could map the engine to run so lean it almost stalled for the specific conditions on the test and nobody would notice it in normal driving.

A single man in a field with a bible is unlikely to be a sex abuse scandal. But (as we've sadly started to see in the UK) any hierarchical organization (religious or not) that gets large enough seems to end up with evil people carving a niche within it. I don't know how it starts really, but the problem really begins…

All organised religion. You missed a bit.

It would add cost - either you paint the wheels to order (which would be a pain considering the supply chain)) or you keep stocks of each type of wheel in every colour (which would be expensive in terms of cashflow).

There's every point in it. An on-road autonomous vehicle has a lot of rules to guide it - this paint on the road means this, red lights mean that, etc. So long as it's on tarmac, it can safely proceed because the road is of a certain standard.

Nah. The average person who buys a standard Carrera new doesn't want lightweight and hardcore. They want room for their golf clubs and massaging seats, and neither of those come light.

Seat up is the best way by far - it's the only way to 100% guarantee a piss-free seat. Think about that.

Mindblowing thought - doing all of the shit that nobody else wants to do because it's demeaning actually negatively impacts on your career.

The accent you're thinking of is "Pirate".

Ah, but the Somerset dialect is much different. There's a unique grammar to it, which shares some structure with Low German. Rather than "How are you?" you might say "Ow Bist?"

In a way, the new NSX is the spiritual successor to this one. Honda's brief for the original was a supercar that could be driven every day. What qualifies as a supercar has certainly changed, and what's required for every day driving is completely different, but I'm hopeful that the new car will be ridiculously fast…

Definitely not Bristol. They add an "L" to the end of everything there. If you look back far enough in history, the place was actually called "Bristow".

It's more than regional - you can go three miles over a hill and into the next valley, and the accent will be distinct. Tidy.

I can't help but agree; the logic of it is sound. But I still fear that the lack of progress on the factors that dissuade women from entering a workplace that (arguably, at least) doesn't directly discriminate against them will mean that we don't get the best MPs.
