Defensive driving courses and training. In the UK there's Roadcraft, used in police driver training. RoSPA and the IAM provide civilian courses and certification.

Any perfect compromise car - powerful but fuel efficient, responsive but cheap, light but with good carrying capacity - has to be a turbocharged rear-wheel hatchback with decent handling, and right now that means the BMW 1-series F20.

Let's get biblical on this thing.

Every vehicle gets a spray can of de-icer well in advance. The first day of serious frost, everywhere sells out of the stuff.

Awesome. I have a variation of this: I bought a marine GPS which stores coastlines, not roads, and the only guidance it'll give you is the direction and distance to your destination.

The BBC report has a version of the chart which corrects for miles driven. It's not pretty but it'll have to do.

One person in eight in Great Britain lives in London, so it's understandable. And in fact, if you purely want to avoid car accidents, living in London is great; it has the best public transport system by far in the UK and according to at least one survey the best in the world. Plenty of people who live in London get…

Yup. You may find this instructive:

I definitely like this more than the Toyota version.

Gotta haul you up on this part:

Torque. Especially 'peak torque' figures.

Of *course* it's illegal to cause competitors to lose sales by making them look bad - if you're lying when you do so.

Seriously? 944s may be cheap but parts sure aren't, and maintenance can get a bit weird what with the gearbox at the back.

Even smaller engines with even bigger turbos. The downside is turbo lag, which they're working to eliminate, but the upside is kickass fuel economy/emissions for the power available.

One from anime: Black Lagoon. PT boat vs. attack helicopter.

Connecting:

He used the handbrake to initiate. You don't see the rear wheels lock up except at 2:12, but you can hear the tyre squeal at 1:41 while the car's still straight.

Why would they model it? There will be plenty of Warthog models already, from original high poly models to game-optimised versions up to stuff for cinematics. They just need to convert one, drop it in, get the shaders right and set a few camera angles. A few days' work, tops.

Here, let me play "futurist".
