    I'm somewhat bemused by the answer that's filtered on
    Filter: Question "Have you/your family had to change your driving habits in the last six months?" is one of the following answers ("Yes")
    So 100% of the people who answered "yes" to the question answered "yes" to the question?  I think we need more of these valuable insights. :o
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    Looks like they have fixed it now.

    I answered ‘No’ because I always try to drive efficiently, by watching my speed and reducing braking and watching the traffic up ahead*, or walk whenever I can. Because I’m a money saver!

    *Always get a chuckle when someone revs past me on a dual carriageway only to stop at the next set of lights, for me to then cruise slowly past them because they chose to pull into a lane behind a lorry 🤣
