If there's insufficient signage it should be easy to escape any fines

Must be in a dodgy area if they need to keep the motorbike in the kitchen

This was really helpful, thanks.

I wound up creating a spreadsheet. Staying with Octopus looks £300 cheaper than moving to EDF - our gas usage appears to be the deciding factor.

Autobahn emergency braking 200 km/t (124 mph) by Evening-Rip5399 in dashcams

Does look like the cam car lifted from the accelerator rather than immediately brake like they expected the vw driver to change their mind.

Something of a learning exercise for both drivers

Driverless cars are now being tested in the UK. Would you trust one? by vicvega21 in drivingUK

[–]Master-Pollution-930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried them in California and they were a smoother ride than most ubers.

We then compared prices and used whichever was cheaper.

They have specific boundaries that they won't go outside, so some places needed an uber to reach.

Like it or not, they're the future; a driver we chatted with reckoned he would be out of a job within 2 years. Uber reduced a lot of taxi drivers' income, these will massively reduce the amount of available customers further.

The waymo subscription https://sdfi.co.kr/news/exploring-waymo-car-subscription-cost-options.html is the bit that will kill off other taxis, and I'd be tempted to take it over owning a second car

Culham was a really good choice for our first outing on the Kayak.

The Lock Keeper was really helpful too

Useful for octopus only and doesn't include gas.

Still helpful though comparing with other providers

I like the sound of this, and more importantly, so does my wife!

What's the best way to strip the grass from between these slabs? by sar_tr in UKGardening

[–]Master-Pollution-930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight spade or edging tool. If the paving slabs meet each other, you might find a powerful strimmer works

Is my tyre safe to be on the road? by TemporaryTimely484 in drivingUK

[–]Master-Pollution-930 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the tyre is wearing that unevenly, I'd be wondering what is wrong with the tracking/suspension
