    Reciprocate basic manners

    Have you notcied how many people don't actually acknowledge you when you hold doors open etc, they just push pass as if its their right. Bet if you didn't bother they would soon complain about how impolite you were :? It seems more prevelant in the under 30ish bracket. You can always be...

    give dangerous drivers points!

    I think until there is a means of constantly verifying who the driver is, whilst the vehicle is in motion, this problem will always exist. COuld be quite simple, thumb print reader on steering wheel, read every 10 minutes whilst car is moving, then referenced against either DVLA or insurance...

    blacking out car windows

    No, they dont have rear windows and therefore not illegal. If you have WINDOWS you may only tint up to the limits previous. If you dont have windows then the ruling doesn't apply. i.e for metal panelled vans and trucks. :?

    blacking out car windows

    You are only allowed tints that stop 25% of light through front windscreen and 30% through side windows. Any more and you are breaking the law and liable to a fine and points. Those amounts are cumulative so if your car windows are already a 10% tint, as some are, by applying films you are...

    temporary traffic lights

    In our area running red lights is more and more common. Most mornings the lights on my side will be green but you often get 3-6 cars travelling at 40 plus crossing the junction. Same old story, police rely on cameras, therefore less police on the roads to enfore the RTA, standards of driving...

    Indesit bag of nails

    Could be a bra wire! This happens quite often, bra gets washed, wire comes out, falls through holes. Weeks later when its rusty, gets picked up by the drum on spin and makes the most horrendous noise. This may last a wash or two and will then go away. :wink:

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    oddly enough Halfords used to find screws in my tyres whenever i took my car in for an mot. On 3 occasions brand new screws were found, heads not even worn I might add. After the second occasion I was a bit suspicious, so I checked the tyres after parking at Halfords, no screws, a few hours...

    lawn mower
