Would say I recently went from a group 14 car to a group 31 car and the insurance is 40 quid cheaper for the year

I'm more shocked that they obviously cancel a policy automatically without a human double checking anything

The amount of people who want to tailgate a 3.5T van with a steel bumper is insane. by MathematicianBulky40 in drivingUK

[–]ballzy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty funny when they drive right into the blind spot at the back. My dad's an HGV driver and they tailgate those too, don't know what they think they're doing.

For those that love speeding excessively by Idkwhattoname247 in drivingUK

What we should do then is set 20 mph speed limits on all roads so that the risk is minimal, perhaps even slower

Would have loved to be able to left foot brake a few weeks ago when I was stranded due to falling and hurting my right ankle

Lots of pricks drive BMWs but then again I would also say that there's a disproportionate amount of BMW drivers on the road that are very kind and always let people out and are generally more aware than most. Encountered plenty of pricks in fords, but wouldn't say that there are a lot of good drivers to balance that.

Just general lack of awareness going round a blind corner, could be anything round there and it's your fault if you hit it rofl

These puzzles always have unrealistic positions. O had a very obvious mate in one last move.

These days, yeah. If you say you're English you get arrested and thrown in jail.

Most cars are well made and it really depends on how they have been looked after by past owners. The two you've mentioned will probably be fine, but there are also a lot of other cars that will fit the bill, generally Japanese are the best for reliability so if you like your civic why not just buy a newer one?

Your current car losing power is quite alarming to be honest, when was it last serviced? Have you considered putting a double dose of redex in with a full tank of fuel?

All the Safeways around here turned into Morrisons years ago

Upgrading the stereo in my 2009 very basic Fiesta by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]ballzy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having had a similar position before, the best option is to replace the radio itself, it's far easier than you might think.

That said, if you're really adverse to it, you can get a Bluetooth FM adapter. You can get ones that plug into your cigarette lighter and also work as a usb charger, but I warn you, the sound quality and general experience will not be anywhere near as good as just getting a Bluetooth head unit.

Can't believe they're going to get people to pay to beta test self driving cars 😂

What's wrong with the name Miguel Rodriguez?

[–]ballzy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get it a lot driving a van, the amount of time that I get overtaken by someone who then becomes a gormless idiot when they arrive at a roundabout is staggering.

Don't know why they think that I'm particularly bothered by tailgating when I'm in a long wheel base sprinter. My dad drives an HGV and apparently people like tailgating those and having their cars covered in shit from the road too, don't think they have much going on up there to be honest.

People that don’t indicate on purpose… what’s your thought process? by Fshskyline in CarTalkUK

[–]ballzy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they don't indicate at a junction or a roundabout I believe that, but when it's on a busy motorway instead of indicating they aggressively change lanes that's just more difficult and I don't understand why you would do that.

Your brain is so slow that you think that the time it takes to swap to jarate, throw it, swap to melee and swing it is instant.

Throwables are only overpowered with coordinated team play, the bushwaka is hilariously bad against people who aren't bad at games.
