Well, the highway code says to stop unless it would cause a hazard to the driver or to other road users by stopping sharply - or words to that effect. Perhaps he can say he was being tailgated and thought it best to continue?

If you've got (or are planning) nice blingy brakes, go for the 5 spokes. If not, the multis will look good.

Use some hotmelt glue sticks.

I regret being lazy at school. Fortunately I've managed to do alright for myself but I sometimes wonder how much I could have been earning had I had better qualifications. A mate of mine did a doctorate in some obscure branch of physics and his first job afterwards paid £85k a year! If only....

Uuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm so there.

It is nice, but I've always been most inspired by the Countach QV.

72oz? I wish I'd known before. I semi-regularly go to a place that does 64oz but that's not enough. Sasha, is that 72oz always on the menu?

who fitted some new Alpine tweeters and flush-mounted the component speakers in the doors for me last weekend and also hard-wired my Road Angel, and then refused to accept anything for his time and effort. Thanks Greg - I really appreciate it :)

All the time :)

He hasn't got a hope in hell. All you have to do these days is breathe too hard on the back of somebody's car and you'll be guilty. I had a prang a couple of years ago when a BMW actually rolled back onto me but I was still deemed to be in the wrong.

Archery, video games, cigars and pipes

Is that 1st, 2nd or 3rd declension, past-participle or pluperfect, and future perfect or future progressive? :D

If you mean on Friday afternoon, it was prolly me doing my advanced driving test (which I passed) :)

Nice job mate!

Now that I know it won't be illegal anytime soon, I'd like to free up the lighter socket and hardwire my Road Angel. Anyone know of a guide, please? (preferably with pics)

Road Angel Legality Confirmed Update .. The well publicised “Road Safety Bill” has been dropped for 2005, as parliament has now been dissolved for the general election, leaving all unread bills rejected. This bill was dropped on the 11th April 2005 as shown on the following site; http://www.politics.co.uk/legislationitempage.aspx?menuindex=430010609&itemid=7197862 So where does that leave us now ? Road Angel remains totally unchanged and 100% legal. With a possible change of government in the general election, the bill may or may not re-surface in 2006 when Parliament reconvenes and again may or may not be heard or progressed even if it does. Even if the bill is progressed in 2006, the process then starts to debate publicly and privately what technologies they intend to ban, with that process expected to take a further 12 months. If agreed, it would then take a further 6 months to become law, so the Department for Transport would not implement any such changes until late 2007, if at all. What did the “Road safety Bill” aim to achieve before being dropped ? The primary focus of the bill was to ban Laser Jammers, as these units prevent the police getting a speed on your vehicle. This is not part of the Road Angel product. They also intend to ban Radar detectors, again very different to the Road Angel product. Radar detectors were proposed for a ban as they can determine which cameras are live and which are not, effectively allowing the user to speed through inactive cameras, working against the reason for having the safety camera installed at that location, “Reducing Speed”. In this scenario, Road Angel will remain unchanged and fully legal in it’s current format as it does not include either of these functions. If in the future, passive laser detection was banned, which some models of Road Angel includes, All Road Angel products remain 100% legal, but may require minor adjustments. Classic Road Angel would require the laser alert to be disconnected from the unit, making the Road Angel 100% legal. On the New Road Angel, the laser alert is integrated, but can be disabled on the unit by the owner, a firmware upgrade can be sent via e-mail to remove that functionality, again making the unit 100% legal. Today, no action is required as Laser Alert is 100% legal GPS Camera locators like Road Angel were not under review in the 2005 bill and this was confirmed in writing from the Department for Transport. The government fully understands and accepts the safety benefits of GPS based safety alert systems, as documented in the dropped Road Safety Bill. Products like Road Angel warns of areas of danger advising user to reduce speed and be aware of potential danger, which supports perfectly what safety camera aim to achieve. Thank fook for that :)

FFS, Dave, what do you do? Go through my diary and pick dates you know I'll be doing archery? ;) ;) :tongue: :smash: :p I won't be able to make it as I'm going to be representing Gloucestershire in the SW inter-county championships.
