As a truck driver I am restricted to 56kph. I am driving along in lane 1 on any given motorway on any given day. A modern car is coming down the slip road at about 50kph. If I continue at the same speed in the same lane I will hit them so I move to lane 2 to let them on. Suddenly the baked bean tin or whatever else it was trapped under their accelerator comes free and they suddenly accelerate to 90-100 kph leaving me floundering like a wally. Is it me?????

is??? My car is a "2001" model and it runs on petrol/LPG. When the car is turned on all the lights come on such as the battery light, handbrake, oil and so on, but the car won't click over to start. It has this problem sometimes. On some days the car will start and on other days the car won't start.
Can anyone help a sister out?

It's the only possible place it could be losing fluid. No leaks anywhere, isn't a leaking head gasket, and new radiator cap and thermostat. How much of an operation is this? I know I have to get to it under the dash.

I've been thinking about buying this 2004 Jetta. It's an awesome car, but my friends keep telling me this is a girl's car.

But there is nothing girly about me.

If I do buy it will people think I'm sensitive or question my manhood?

For over 30 years I have kept a record of the registrations of the aircraft I have flown on. Recently however I have missed several of them mostly from Dublin, Paris and Verona and all operated by subsidiaries of Air France. Where can I find the information I need to update my log?

Some one keeps blocking my car in when i am viisting my mum. I leave the car on an unmade public car park, there are always plenty of spaces. This has happened several times now by the same person. When i asked them politely not to block me in and park somewhere else, they got abusive and after i had left they went in to have a go at my mum and dad!

Most elevated/subway trains use two types of control(er)s, either a Cineston or what's called a master control(the lever). I'm curious as to which is easier to operate and which is more efficient.

I have a 2006 Toyota corolla. Is there a way to disconnect the buzzer that sounds if the seatbelts are not plugged in.

Please not commnets on the use and safety of seat belts.
I know all about the pros and cons of wearing them. Seat belts are NOT required where we live.
