Makes him not a bad doctor, but an illegal one.

Should lose their license for that

Yup, I voted LD because Labour's thing of being "not Tory" would wear thin in 5 years if there isn't a strong, or non-venomous, opposition.

I can see Starmer losing his place in 5 years time, he's not a likable man

Also depends how long your contract is and the security after it.

I bought my car outright rather than PCP, in part because of my contract being under 2 years. If I can't renew my contract at work, I have the choice to sell the car and buy something a few grand cheaper.

Cricket can't sell out games in cricket-playing nations 99% of the time.

Only Ashes and WC games sell out in the UK, and Finals Day.

Funny how they ended up describing autism in the most NT way.

Not many but you can generally fit a full-size spare or at least a spacer. Most modern cars have the pressure sensors though, so you still need to re-do the sensor after a tyre change.

All I'm gonna say is, rather be a Bear than a Pear...

Nah I know what you meant, I was joking

I'd say 1 can be nerves, 2 can be mix of nerves and experience, but more than 2 I'd be having concerns. Also depends what they are. Failing because of a wheel on the white line when parking for instance is an easy correction, just re-position and take the minor.

I don't feel like it'd be too hard to be mock test ready as a passenger. I have a colleague who was saying in her teaching about a lecturer who did a feedback lecture where they gave students their assignment and the marking criteria. Most students got within a few marks of working out their actual grade on an essay. If students can do that on their own work I think most competent drivers could follow a marking guide to determine how safe their learner drivers are.

Tail wagging the dog. Pass rates are about 40% in my area, it's not like pass rates have shot down. Scapegoating the pupils when the bottleneck from covid is the problem is arguing for argument's sake.

Failing it a couple times is often just not testing well. But given it's possible to pick up tidbits of info for the theory from being an observant passenger, a bit of revision should get you close to the pass mark.

I don't wanna come across a dick on this, but beyond maybe 5 or so times within the space of say, 2 years, on the theory, maybe there should be a point where you can't take it for say 6 months or 12 months. I get that some people will have additional needs or learning difficulties that means they'll find it harder, but if someone needs beyond a certain amount of attempts, then surely they can't be safe on the road within a short period. I've seen health and safety stuff at work freeze me out after 3 fails or 5 fails, maybe that's a good rule to apply.

The fact you said "boyfriend was my instructor" and "I changed instructor" - you kinda imply you dumped him because you failed your test...

Test it's good to know the area, know the nuances of certain roads etc so you're familiar and not nervous. Obvs once you've passed you tend to be more complacent when you know the roads because you assume stuff

That was how I felt. I passed third time, the first time I had 2 serious faults. one of them was 100% nerves.

You'd do well to get 60mpg from it, I have the 1.0 Puretech and 40mpg is about as good as I get (did 120 miles on roughly quarter of a tank Sunday). Can't imagine the 1.2 being much more efficient

I don't like the small cup holders but mechanically, my 208 is great. Wish it had a bit more pull but the 1.2 wouldn't have that problem I wouldn't think. On the B-roads it handles lovely, steering is light enough for the corners but doesn't feel too light at high speed.

Though mine is 30k miles so it might not feel the same on a higher miler.

For 1. It's balance of aggression and who you bowl when.

I typically bowl spin to leave the powerplay to wrestle back the momentum. It will go away from you in the powerplay without wickets a lot of the time but lowering the aggression to an in batter makes it more likely they'll get out swinging. If you can use spin to halt their momentum, you'll find that wickets fall after.

It's like real life. If England bring in Adil Rashid and Moeen, say, from the end of the powerplay, they're not going to be judged on wickets. Where they're an asset is stemming the runs, then there's scoreboard pressure and wickets fall later.

Le Mans with the 3 SCs works well but I think maybe it should be 3 safety cars until they go green. Have a means of getting them into the order, like have P2s drop to the back of the queue, then same for GTs or something.

What's good with the LM rules is that the penalty for a pitstop is about 1/3 of a lap, which is akin to the time lost in the pits in normal running.

All the systems seem necessary for the types of track they run on though ultimately. I don't like the IMSA system but on a roval, maybe it's the only safe option given the challenges of the high speed bowl nature of the likes of Daytona, the steepness of the bankings which can be a risk for marshals if they're collecting debris at the top etc.

I think it's at least a bit misleading to say Bianchi died because he failed to react to yellows.

We'll never know for sure but given that the rain was already treacherous, getting worse, and there were recovery vehicles in a dangerous location, there's a lot of lessons learned from that accident. Brundle predicted something like Bianchi's accident long before it happened when they had recovery vehicles under double yellows on a racetrack.

Japan 2014 was one where the race shouldn't have been going anyways. It had been arguably too wet for a race for a while. When Sutil went off they should have red flagged if I'm honest. At that point, they'd got to a maximum points distance, track was getting worse and had arguably been too wet for a while. Cars were borderline aquaplaning on full wets, that's when you need to consider throwing a red flag, rather than waiting for the accident to happen.

Tax on mileage might be the fairest way, but with reduced rates depending on the emissions.

There need to be incentives for smaller cars and more efficient cars, such as tax exemption. People who get up in arms about it are part of the problem because I bet 90% of the time the journeys they do don't need such a big engine or a tall car. I took my 1-litre on the B-roads and motorway today (about 120 miles on the road to an event and back) and I felt safe, and if I needed to carry more stuff I'd get an estate

Homologation cars have nothing in common with the road counterparts.

GT4s share something like 80% of their components with a road car iirc, but that seems high (wouldn't be surprised if that's in terms of bodywork). Same comparisons say GT3s share 20%, but I doubt there's anything more than a generic shape in common.

99% of that is for a dick cannon

"pass through fairly easy"

You'd be brave to say that to anyone who has ever given birth.

That's their plan. They did hint that FM25 might be a step back to enable massive leaps forward in the future

It's quite a homophobic way of proclaiming yourself as an "ally".

The people who say that normally also wanna stop hearing about LGBTQ+ voices because it doesn't affect them.
