Transferring number plates
OK, I'm confused and trying to talk to DVLA has got me more confused because they don't do talking, they do recorded messages repeating what I have already read on the advice notes. I'm sure that this is a simple problem that I am overthinking! I want to transfer a number plate between two cars we own. Both cars have…

Failed hazard perception
Hello, I've failed my driving theory test again (both times failed the hazard perception). Last time in 2 clips I got 0 points (one of them was the double hazard so lost 15 points) as the computer stated I clicked in an unacceptable manner. I'm really worried I'll fail again. I clicked a few times as I thought clicking…

Motorway Services PCN
I have one of these from ParkingEye, £100 for a vehicle parked in motorway services. The previous advise I had about these kinds of fines (a couple of yrs ago) was to ignore the letters as they were un-enforceable, which I did and they gave up in the end. Is this still the case? Cheers.

Tyre Repair Gunk
I don't have a spare wheel in my car, just the repair kit with the gunk and compressor, which is ok, I don't mind, it's very quick and easy, and in some circumstances easier than changing a wheel on the roadside. I had a flat a few weeks ago, but they wouldn't repair it because I'd used the gunk so I had to buy a new tyre.…
