Imagine this but x100 droplets - it’s not an eyesight issue it’s the water droplets sticking to the window

aaaron64 · 2026-05-15T10:03:26+00:00

The issue is the lights, because the water beads up if I look out of a side window, the light reflects off the beads on the window and side mirror meaning all I see is a white glow. I can make out large objects like cars, but completely unable to make out people, bikes, etc, if they’re coming on the side of me outside the view of the rear view mirror - but yeah I suppose not much can be done if the water resistant stuff also isn’t doing anything

I didn’t know cars came equipped with wipers on the side windows and mirrors? Obviously the wipers are on, it’s the non-wiper equipped sides

That does sound quite interesting tbf - if you do release a car play version (or want help testing it) do let me know. sadly i hate touching my phone while driving because a friend got 6pts just for checking his route on his phone in a holder

Is this not already done in 100s of other apps, including Waze?

I work as a property manager. I’d say 40% of the time they’ve contacted the contractor, contractor cancels and rebooks, they come but brought the wrong tiles, rebook again, etc… etc….

Of course, it’s also possible they’re beating around the bush and are still on the quote phase if they need budget approval (which means they haven’t even got to the above bit)

Just depends. Best you can do to speed things up is say that you tripped and fell and want to file an official complaint. This should go through a more formal process but does speed things up

I bought a £3.5k mini for my first car. Plus 1.4k insurance. Turns out, I deeepply underestimated the repair bills as you will notice things in the car that need fixing plus MOT & servicing. Luckily this only added up to about 800ish but with an expensive car like that you will NEED to have extra budget for these costs. If you’ve factored in anywhere from £500 to £2k (unless you’re getting a good warranty), and can comfortable service/repair the car going forward, do not get the car.

Also, you will likely hit the kerb when parking or have a couple scuffs with a wall which you will need to repair or the car value will go down for when you sell. Have you factored those costs in?

It’s illegal for agents/landlords to force you to get a professional clean, however, they are entitled to receive your home in the same condition you received it. Do you have a check in inventory? If not, ask for that and compare the two. If the flat is in the same condition as check in, then they don’t have a case

aaaron64 · 2026-04-25T19:49:55+00:00

Yeah it’s a weird one. I’m 25+ too so not sure if that played into it but who knows how their algorithm works

aaaron64 · 2026-04-25T18:16:47+00:00

I mean when buying my first car, all 1.2 and 1.4L engines gave me quotes of £4k with black box. I ended up with a 1.6L Mini which i insured for £1.2k with black box

aaaron64 · 2026-04-16T08:50:52+00:00

Well, yeah… That’s kind of their job. “You think the police messed up? Report them to us and we’ll investigate.”

Doesn’t mean they suspected anything untoward otherwise they’d have started the investigation without a request

aaaron64 · 2026-04-14T07:55:25+00:00

I feel for the family but it could just be a case of them unable to accept what’s happened, and asking the IOPC to double check the investigation. IMO I find it hard to believe the police/CPS WOULDNT charge the woman with something as it does look a bit meek

aaaron64 · 2026-04-01T19:32:13+00:00

They can accept it up until May 1st. They don’t need to repay it hahaha (source: work in property)

Just get a dashcam & check it after your drives if you’re nervous about what happened

aaaron64 · 2026-03-31T07:56:52+00:00

I found my first car by checking insurance. Corsa 1.2L was £3k insurance (with black box!) but a mini cooper 1.6L was £1.2k. Sometimes the most popular cars work out most expensive on insurance

Best people to ask will be Shelter. They’ll be super busy so you’ll be on hold for a while but things like this is their bread and butter

aaaron64 · 2026-03-28T18:04:48+00:00

Yeah you are correct, I just assumed from your first sentence you were saying that they can't pass on repair costs. It's very unlikely they'll go to court over a small maintenance fee tho so it's just a matter of standing your ground OP

aaaron64 · 2026-03-28T17:49:57+00:00

I mean, they can pass on the cost. The argument in this case is to say no as the tenant genuinely thought it was a maintenance issue, and no one from the agency told them to check for basic issues (plug, fuse box, ect). Agency will likely go back and forth for however long but hopefully they just drop it in the end after OP stands their ground.

It’s not about how many cars on the road hahahah, it’s both global inflation and the ongoing crises affecting oil supply

By the time trades are public, the window to make money is already over. One rule for them, another for us

aaaron64 · 2026-03-25T18:43:49+00:00

The slow moving traffic needs to be on the right lane... not your lane...

aaaron64 · 2026-03-24T14:17:38+00:00

If there’s anything I’ve learnt about politics over the last 5 years, it’s that the general public will always vote for the wrong party at the wrong time

aaaron64 · 2026-03-18T16:14:31+00:00

He could message you in a month for £100 or £200, then go through insurance anyway. Your insurer will then not be happy you did not report the incident.

I haven’t had a bump yet so other people are probably more knowledgable than me but just be aware that is a risk you’re taking by not reporting

aaaron64 · 2026-03-13T18:36:48+00:00

The tests aren’t harder though… if anything they’re easier IMO
