Nudged car in front of me - car drove off like nothing happened.
I was sitting at a roundabout, and the bumper on my car made contact with the bumper of the car in front of me - I'm relatively sure it was my car that nudge his, since I don't remember seeing it rolling backwards. And while I could see there was no damage, I crossed the roundabout behind him and got ready to pull over on…

Two months later she crashed the car in the bad weather (no one else involved). Her insurance company have agreed to pay out…

I usually get my breakdown cover from the RAC using my Tesco clubcard vouchers but I've not got enough this year so am looking at all the deals on this website and wondering who to go with - I'm a single (female) parent with a 2 year old so it's important to me that if I break down somewhere that I won't be left stranded…

Best Buy Tyres review
I wanted some new rubber and decided to go for some Uniroyal Rainsport 2 tyres. Why ? I had Michelin Energy Saver ones on there from when I picked up the car but they are coming to the end of their life on the front at around 22k miles (still some way off legal though) but the rears have decent tread left.

Just been reading on another forum that the German press have been reporting an EU directive that would lead to increased duties amounting to 79cents/litre by 2013, in an effort to discourage the use of diesel vehicles in city centres.
