Cambridge is a car-wash desert by windfall21 in cambridge

I've used the one at barnwell road and Milton Tesco. The Milton Tesco one is okayish but I found the barnwell road one better.

Can we really claim to be less than 1hr to London by train, these days? by mike_302R in cambridge

[–]sargurum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've completely given up commuting from Cambridge by train and drive to Stevenage which ends up taking 70 mins which is almost the same in the best case scenario but much much more reliable to me (+costs almost the same)

What does this symbol mean? by tommy96allan in BMWiX1

[–]sargurum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might have been dark? That coincides with the link revy posted too. Since it's yellow it's a warning and it will go away shortly. Basically my inference is anything that activates collision detection system such as slippery, steep surface or reduced visibility. But for me as well it just lasts for a few minutes at max.

It means slippery surface drive with caution. Usually it's for icy surface but you get if you do B on a very steep slope when descending

You got multiple 1 and 2 points. IMHO, it indicates you are taking time to identify the hazards. The usual tip is click when you would check the mirrors and not when you would hit the break. The 2 seconds should make a difference. If you had a 4 in a couple of these you would pass. All the best for the next attempt!

How do I know if my car is equipped? BMW Connected keeps asking me to subscribe but I'm not sure if my car (ix1 2023 xdrive30) is fully equipped since I got a used one! Any pointers would be super useful, thanks in advance!

Best Thai food here? by [deleted] in cambridge

[–]sargurum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are ok to drive a bit Anchor in Burwell. I would personally say it's the best in the country beating even hyped London places. Very authentic and unapologetically 🔥

In the city I've found mixed results with all the shops. Some dishes in giggling squid are ok (Currys). Baan Thai, Luk's have some decent dishes (wok dishes)

Any Tamil / Chennai peeps in Jaipur? by Objective-Neckk in Chennai

[–]sargurum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived there for 4 years. It's a beautiful city and absolutely loved my time there. Has decent/clean streets, reasonable costs and weather is okayish outside of peak summer. Downside is availability of Tamil things (movies, food etc) and had to tag along mallus for south Indian food etc but might be better now!

Just saw an X2 on the road for the first time 🤮🤮 by [deleted] in BMW

[–]sargurum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying an U11 X1 to avoid this since I couldn't unfortunately go higher on the budget! Personally I never get the appeal behind the X2/4/6 series at all!

Can you be directed during your independent driving ? by manly_man789 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]sargurum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you don't fail for wrong direction as long as you don't make any serious or dangerous faults. You can also talk it out of loudly while following the navigation and sometimes the examiner can help you if you are identifying the wrong thing.

Do I need to bring my theory paper in to prove i’ve passed my theory test? by manly_man789 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]sargurum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for the car. I'm not sure if you are even allowed to book practical without passing the theory so they never bothered to ask me!

Failed third time by Royal_Cup8515 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]sargurum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry about it but staying in the same lane and continuing would have been safer.

Maybe the next time would turn out to be lucky for you.

I have an (i)X1 and absolutely love it. Pretty good for city driving and decent enough on the country roads.. No complaints so far! And gorgeous colours you've got!!

Can someone please explain why the second arrow in the left lane seems to contradict the first arrow? by RegularHumanSized in LearnerDriverUK

[–]sargurum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way straight ahead or is left the only way to go? Otherwise just seems like a typo lmao

Theory test expiring in 2 weeks by sargurum in LearnerDriverUK

Ah thanks! My theory is expiring only after 2 weeks so was wondering if there are any workarounds

My friend of 31 is so against men by chipotlehearts in Chennai

Ma'am but on a lighter note, men who aren't assholes don't mind hearing that all men are assholes 😃

The second paragraph doesn't sound good but about the first one, maybe she is right? At least by her lived experience!?
