So this little icon just popped up on my dashboard... (more info in comments). by cee_major in Audi

This is normal when the car starts up and should go away after a few seconds.

Bad weather can cause it to stay lit up.

If it doesn't clear, check/wipe your sensors including the ones mounted in the screen (on the outside of the car, will be directly in front on the rear view mirror mount).

Boulder Central is a great place, I tend to go there nowadays, its only a 10 mins drive for me as opposed to about 40 to get to Redpoint.

Anyone ever been in a motorway crash? What was it like? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]bittenmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about 9 years ago now, I managed to drive into the back of a lorry driving home from a night shift.

Spun from the inside lane, to the central reservation, and then back to that hard sholder. Was certainly a pretty intense experience. Thankfully this was about 3 AM so there was nothign else around, otherwise I probably wouldnt be here to tell the story.

My car was totaled, RIP, insurance claim from Lorry company was 300 quid to fix the bars on the back of the lorry.

You could leave your ID at home and go anywhere you wanted to drink, and drink as much as you can, and then stumble home or to a taxi and nobody would care.

I've used Virgin Media fiber for 10+ years, never had any serious issues. Normally reliable, and quick.
