Given how Long fighter pilots and F1 drivers have had Heads-UP displays I wonder why they are not standard in today's cars?
Look here "fantastic they are putting them in for Motorcyclists in their Helmets"
I would have thought instead of old-fashioned dashboard dials etc the important stuff - like SPEED should be on the heads-Up display.
Makes sense?
Besides I've no objection to an "intelligent " car telling me I'm going over the speed limit. I don't want to speed. Today with the Sat-Navs and GPS - they put them in your Mobile phones I think it should be compulsory for all speed limits to be "mapped" and beamed down to sour smart cars so where ever you are they know the speed on the road where you are, the car knows the limit and how fast you are driving and either warns you when you are say 5mph of the Max or warns yo when you've gone over a\nd won't in fact let you exceed it by more Than 5mph.
I'm all for this. I hate it when an unfamiliar road is poorly marked with the limit/ I err on safe side. I was near Whitehaven and although a dual carriage way the lamp post were very close, I believe the Highway Code tells you this indicates a 30mph! after a long way and being severely overtaken I at last saw 1 small repeater saying 50mph. Shame on them. The locals knew of course. Then there's a short 2 mile stretch - no central carrier with National Speed limit - outrageous.
Rant over.

Kent Crossing Pile up - BAD drivers
Its not the FOG that made them crash its BAD driving.
Drive as fast as the distance you can see to stop! Lesson - if you drive into thick fog HOW do you know there isn't stationary traffice just ahead? Can you stop if there is - patently 130 people didn't know and were going too fast. Serves thenm right except for those who did stop and got whacked up the *rse!
What about these STEALTH drivers? THick fog the other morning 1:3 drivers no lights.
If you don't have headlights on then you're as visible in the fog as a brick wall except yopu are moving. If someone hits you or pulls out if front or a pedestrian crosses in front then its YOUR fault - idiot.

End of the Road for the Middle Lane Hoggers
YES FRIDAY IS THE LAST DAY TO HOG THE MIDDLE LANE AND GET AWAY WITH IT!
At least it will be if we ever see any police patrols on the Motorways. Where are they?
I don't see them. That's why folk use Mobile phones - at least here in rural Lincolnshire you're chance of being caught is NIL. No Police see.
I'd love to see the Rules enforced - ALL of THEM. But they won't be. So why worry. They need Cameras to catch you via your number plate. Maybe they'll use an App that can track your movements in real time via your mobile phone GPS signal SOMEDAY then they can see if you're speeding as well. These Law Breakers can kill people.
Remember Big Brother Can Watch you!!
It could happen.
What did I say - look Rubbish bins secretly setup to scan your phone. they track where you are. They say its anonymous but really if its linked back to a database they can link to you via your phone's IMEI code etc.
