chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I think this is something which will just become the norm. If Honda can already have it on a ‘small’ car then it’s really not far away as a standard. Edited March 9, 2021 by chrisp65 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I really like the Honda E. Its my favourite EV out there. I saw one over by my folks house at the weekend. Quite surprised really as they have only just got electricity in that part of the country! The camera mirrors have also been implemented in HGVs as well. Mercedes being an early adopter. Will help with those huge blind spots on trucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumping bhp to 627 Car jealousy! I'd love one of them, I should make the most of being in europe and get a mustang / charger / challenger /camaro but Im in the city so can't justify it I think one of those would be practically impossible in the UK with the tax insurance and running costs Edited April 9, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just done my two hour speed awareness course. The expected bitching about speed cameras being more about coining in fines than safety. Course presenter gave the standard government response, but then "off the record" admitted he thinks so, too.

Two hours? Mine went on for nearly 4! So you think you gained anything from it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Mine was turn up for 12, started at 1, finished at 5. It was the motorway awareness course. Off the M6 toll into a 60. Didn’t think there was cameras. Less than 2 weeks later etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 When we all lived ‘back at home’ my brother got done for speeding and my dad was all over it, absolute disgrace, the boy is an idiot, never had any sort of trouble of any kind and he’s been driving 2 minutes and the police are involved. proper making it a big deal. Two weeks later my dad was also done for speeding. Whilst driving a school bus. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I’ve only been caught speeding once, and that was in Germany where they hide the cameras in bushes so I don’t think that counts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I noticed having just renewed my insurance that the speeding penalty points only last for 3 years now, I thought it was 5+. So I’m back down to 3 points again which means I can start speeding again Also, for the first time in living memory my car insurer sent me a renewal quote that was actually less than I paid for the last year, still negotiated it down even further obvs as the price comparisons were coming in cheaper still.

Twice for me. Once on an average speed check on the M5, which I did a speed awareness course for, 56 in a 50 i think. It was foggy and completely forgot about the restrictions coming from M6. Suddenly remembered and I must of slowed down just in time as was probably doing 70+ at the start of the the zone. The other was in Florida, just getting used to the Mustang we had. There was a speed trap and a police car burst out of hiding and pulled me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Been done twice. Once traveling to a customer for work down south, and then a couple of Christmases ago doing 36 in a 30 one quiet morning. Fined the first time, speed awareness the second time. All clean now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
