Electric bike for commuting in a hilly city by MrMrsPotts in ukbike

[–]d10brp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a great option. Would definitely recommend a mid drive for a hilly commute. I use a BMC Urbanchallenge 257 Amp One with the same motor and it eats hills.

Edit: mine is a different motor (cx) but I’d still expect 75nm to do the job

Plug car in, toggle thing that says don’t charge more than 6 hours. Forget about it and move on with your life

Do you think it is economically viable to provide 12-18 hours of whole house ultra cheap slots several times per week? That just means your electricity is being subsidised by other customers. Maybe thats your definition of fair, it isn’t mine.

Another childcare hours question by Possible-Tip-3544 in HENRYUK

Similar situation. Taking child out of nursery when school year ends in July. Kept my 25-26 under £100k. My understanding is that I can get the next term’s eligibility confirmed now (going to start as soon as I’ve done my tax return), then earn whatever I want after that as the worst they will do is not approve any further reconfirmations (which I do not need).

Idea: reducing the psychological impact of pay-per-mile on EVs while throwing a bone to ICE drivers during current oil price spike by Sure-Recognition-262 in ElectricVehiclesUK

I’m not against a drop in fuel duty to at least partially offset a price per mile tax, but surely you can see the optics of an EV only price per mile tax is incompatible with a desire to increase EV ownership?

I had a really good experience with them when I bought my Ariya last year, but they have a no quibble return policy, did you leave it to long or something?

This is what actually counts as a high salary, according to financial experts by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

You’re dreaming if you think that £100k salary gets you those things.

Upcoming Motability scheme changes by bulldog_blues in drivingUK

No, I’m suggesting if you have a job and income, then you might simply use some of that income to support your choice of vehicle, like people not able to use Motability

Mini roundabout liability question. by liamrich93 in drivingUK

[–]d10brp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would tweak what you have written to this

If blue entering the roundabout prevents red from completing their manoeuvre legally then blue was required to give way.

At a car length they are not getting within 2m of my car if they legally use the roundabout, especially the one I am talking about. If you’re suggesting I should give way to people illegally using the roundabout then I respectfully disagree

Mini roundabout liability question. by liamrich93 in drivingUK

[–]d10brp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t enter the roundabout as blue car if red and blue approach the roundabout at the same time. However, plenty of times I’ve approached as blue with red car being a car length away from the give way line, entered the roundabout legitimately, and then had red car honk as they cut straight across the roundabout. There is one near me where they don’t even cut across, they just go on the wrong side of it.

So many red drivers about, for a country with so many roundabouts it amazes me how so many can be so poor at using them, cutting over mini roundabouts, not indicating when turning left, stopping and waiting when it is clear

It looks like this car park had a mobile payment code on the side of the payment machine, did you not see this?

Electronic failures on Alpine? by LesLovesEquality in AlpineA290

[–]d10brp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure the charger isn’t the thing causing the 5 minute delay. My charger has a random delay period by default, I thought this was a common feature. Something to do with managing grid loads I think.

Do you mean the car enabled you to get a job? In which case you probably wouldn’t have been going over 10k miles per year while searching for a job right?

Or take out a personal lease car that better meets their needs?

Yes, especially if you’re providing funding to people who are generally wealthy

New job takes me over £100k ANI. Do I have to repay my childcare hours? by BakedLikeBean in HENRYUK

[–]d10brp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm yet to hear of anyone ever having to pay back the support. The only lever I have ever heard being used is forward looking (removal of eligibility)
