    collision avoided!!

    If you have time to panic ,you have time to do something about it. Sometimes experience and gut reaction ( the force ) just immediately take over and resolve the situation in a calmish manner , the instant adrenaline rush appearing to slow down time itself. Always helps if you have had the car...

    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    They should have a mileage total ,( miles out , miles back ) show them a dated receipt for the fuel at a rate for the WLPT for the Kia. How could they argue?

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Depending on whether I put in the right amount of zeros in the calculator at current values that's around 15 and a half grand for every man woman and child in the UK. Small price to pay to get from Manchester to London 45mins quicker. Oh! its not going to Manc. Solihull slowdown, Birmingham...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    The main difference to that is French toll roads are privately owned , although there is talk of bringing them back into the national network. In the main British roads are publicly owned and paid for through various taxes . Ideally you need proof of 4000 foreign miles to be subtracted from your...

    MGS5 EV Car will not come out of neutral.

    It might still "think " the charge cable is attached, ? Standard default action is get out, lock it, give it a minute or two and try again.

    Are 92 load index tyres ok?

    Does that take into effect heavy braking forces when a lot of the the weight of the car is thrown forwards onto the front two wheels ? and rolling movements side to side when aggressive cornering? There might also be insurance issues should you need to claim and maybe a future MOT issue?
