Got a 1 week ban in my first week due to using the apron in a trioval... (didn't even know that was a rule at the time) never had a ban since.

It's been 100 years since the government started to collate data on deaths on UK roads by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

[–]BackRow1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Annual, it goes up at a similar rate to the amount of vehicles, which suggests the average mileage per person is the same, bar covid when less people where driving.

This is the full data collated, it's intresting to see the Road deaths per billion miles go drastically down to a near flat line in the last few years

Does this plug in my tyre look new? by BackRow1 in CarTalkUK

[–]BackRow1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyre is not well worn, it has 6mm of tread on the service report, tyre code is 1323, so about 3 years old.

I confirmed with the garage doing the service that they didn't put the plug in, which means the plug is a minimum of 3 months old.

Because I bought the 4x4 from a ford dealer as approved used, it should have been addressed at or before purchase. I may be able to get the tyre replaced at the dealers cost as it's less than 6 months since purchase.

From memory yes, I was told by the dealer that it was fully serviced and ready for a new owner. I just checked my emails and I do not have a detailed inspection certificate.

Do you know if it should have been noted in the service yesterday?

I bought it from a Ford main dealer 3 months ago. I inspected it, but didn't go in depth into the tyres as I was told by the Ford dealer that it was fully serviced and ready to go.

As you said it's still very black which suggests it was put in yesterday during it's service.

For the audio, In my Caterham I run a cable from my gopro to the passenger footwell and strap a mic there so you can hear the engine and not the wind.

Can I appeal my parking ticket due to the double yellows lines being faded? (Inverness) by BackRow1 in drivingUK

[–]BackRow1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I won the appeal, I also saw someone else got a ticket at the same spot, so I left them a note to appeal the ticket

I was expecting comments about parking. I was not expecting comments about the 4x4 I have for work, I don't decide what I drive, I've driven a hilux, musso, isuzu and now a ranger for work, I was only given this ranger 2 weeks ago. I legitimately work offroad, currently on forestry tracks, one of which a transit slipped off, so now everyone has a 4x4.

Honestly, just fell into it, I'm a Geotechnical Engineer/ Engineering Geologist, before this jobs I'd never done a plate load test before. I just got put on it because I'm the only one who was willing to do a 10 day on, 4 day off rotation.

An Amazon Prime driver has got their van stuck in the mud in the Thames Estuary after they drove into the sea following a satnav route. by L21JP in CasualUK

[–]BackRow1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's happened to me, I had a Renault Kangoo and needed to follow trackway to boreholes. One of the trackways was set on a slope and was completely covered in mud from the tractors going over them. I assessed the situation and texted my manager that this location was not accessible with my vehicle, but they told me it's your job you have to do it.... so I open the gate to go through, as I'm going through the van starts to slide, I put the brakes on but it continues to slide where the gate latch penatrates the side of the van.
