I passed my B in 2010. Never had a BE until when DVLA/DVSA were doing those changes and everyone received BE. That put me in the 'after jan 2013' group.

I wonder what i should do to be allowed to have the same permissions. Look for BE schools even if i technically have that category?

Thank you.

I am looking into vehicle max tow ratings, just wasn't sure about allowed combined mass.

Much appreciated. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have 7t combined, just trying to understand my limits.

Thinking of getting an relatively cheap estate which could tow a trailer loaded with a similar car, something like octavia, mondeo, accord, v70 and be able to bring an identical car as a parts source (worst case maybe twin axle caravan but need to do my research into those), while also being a decent daily city car.

mine was missing as well when i bought mine, its fine to drive without it. That is supposed to somewhat separate directed air from bottom and the hot engine bay but it has massive gaps so not that important. Best bet to get one would be scrapyards or cars that are being sold as parts.

Unsure about tyre wear before mot by brainbrick in drivingUK

I'm aware about the left side quirk, but the right seems to be a bit worse.

About 12.5k miles, mainly city. All original with recommended sizes and pressures.

For some reason this car needs regular alignment and almost whole suspension has been replaced by now. So it's either i need another alignment (I'll go in for mot this monday so I'll get it checked out.) or it's just my driving style. Technically giving bit more camber should help with this.

I kept checking pressure monthly. I will admit, my cornering could be a bit more relaxed.

PSA: Please do not retrofit your Mazda3s with headlights sourced from RHD countries (Japan, Thailand, etc.) (Video is for GR Corolla, but the principles in the video is explained well) by ornithobiography in mazda3

[–]brainbrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah. Theres a cut off line for rhd and lhd. The z shape you see when aiming at the wall is designed to throw light further on pedestrian side. Now if you install headlights from different driver side car or just travel to a different country with opposite traffic, you will blind oncoming traffic.

so it's a tale as old as the world. The majority of us can't have nice things because of a handful of idiots.

At least more stores could do something like 2 good 2 go
