At the moment I drive a 51-reg Rover 75 V6 automatic saloon. Although it's not the most economical or practical car I've owned it's really nice to drive and the interior is excellent. It's definitely one of my better purchases - if not the best considering how much car I got for the money I paid for it]]>

I've started to notice when drivers have their dipped headlights or full beam on that when they indicate, an extra light will come on (not the orange flashing light at the front) a spotlight if you like and it doesn't go off until the drivers wheels are straight again (like normal indicators).Other times a light will go out and the indicator will flash. I've noticed this on vehicles registered in 2010 and onward particularly Dacias and VWs.
If your struggling understanding me, ask somebody at home or work to pop ther lights on and their indicators (NOT HAZARDS). Arriva's 64/15 reg ADL Enviro 400's also have this.

Positioning of indicators is another problem. The second version of Nissan's Qashqui has some that I struggle to see when the dipped lights are on. What I'm wondering is if the indication isn't visible, who's fault is it if there's a head on collision? Is it the driver with the bad indicators' fault or the fault of the manufacturer.]]>

So next you will have campaigners asking for free use of other crossings around the country because of this announcement .

I am wondering whether somewhere in the vicinity of this bridge there is a marginal tory seat.]]>

Speed is only part of the problem on the A9 the other part of the problem is the platooning effect behind HGV's on the single lane sections that causes more of the problems as there is a big speed limit differential for a HGV on a single lane road .]]>

The other two slightly less popular names were :

The bridge is expected to open to the public in 2016]]>

If some of the councils get there way some of the side roads will become no go zones for delivery lorries because of the inability to negoiate parked vehicles which will be fully on the road , in some areas this is already a hinderance to buses already.

Some of the roads where not built for the amount of cars we have on the road these days , just for the side of thehorse and cart's in the 1900's.]]>
