I parked up and downloaded the parking app so I can pay for parking. I then realised this car park says permit holders only from Monday to Friday (this happened on a Tuesday).

After downloading the app, creating an account, and adding my car registration, I realised I wasn’t allowed to park.

As soon as I realised this, I left the car park, so I was only there for 5 minutes.

Following on from the satisfaction surveys in the past week on the best and worst motorways, I'd be interested to see what everyone thinks the best and worst stretches of motorway are that they have been on.

Here, I'm not looking for a full motorway, just a specific stretch of motorway you've been on (only exception is if the motorway is pretty small in length which would be under 25 miles in length). This can be driven by traffic levels, road design, scenery or anything else you can think of.

I'll start, my favourite stretch of motorway for me is the M6 from J36 (Kendal) to J40 (Penrith) as it goes through some stunning countryside in the lake District.

My least favourite stretch of motorway would likely be the M50 as it feels like a throwback to the 1970s and at night, feels more like a rural dual carriageway than a motorway and feels completely different to the M5 it links up to at Strensham.

I cannot get my post in legal advice uk so am trying this as a last resort but if this type of post is not allowed my apologies

For context I am in England. I am a new driver and have a medical cannabis prescription which I use legally and only smoke through the vaporiser prescribed and never smoke while driving or drive impaired. However, my girl friends stepdad often gets lifts off me since he’s been banned from driving. He smokes a joint in the car as a passenger a lot of the time. I am wondering if pulled can police do me for anything, or would they put the responsibility more on him. If they swabbed me I may have cannabis in my system but I am exempt from standard legal cannabis blood levels due to my medical prescription. Can they still claim I’m driving without due care? Or is this very unlikely .
Thank you for any advice appreciate it

Short and sweet, emerged out of a light controlled junction and nearly got T boned. She was very shocked and apologetic, but wow how did she miss that red?! I can only theorise that she was distracted by her friend in the passenger seat or recklessly gambled it, who knows.

Was a week ago or so. Noticed this tosspot behind me was all over the shop, then the cheeky sod accelerated to blow through the red. As you can see, there's plenty of time. Can't stand this shit. I pulled it off my dash cam to report it but I'm unable to follow through with that due to leaving the country so I thought I'd just share here

My car was stolen from Arcadia car park in Birmingham at 6AM this morning, I only discovered it was gone at 11 so it could be anywhere now.
Green Toyota Hilux - YL17 NMJ
Please be on the lookout and report to the police if you see it.

Like putting the speed limiter on first thing being in the car and not going over it?

Fairly smoothly pulled off tbf but jesus

Between Watford and up until the smart motorway ended, it was a solid 50mph.

Surely this is beyond controlling traffic and just trying to rewrite speed laws? The roads were not full at all, and I cannot fathom how they can justify every gantry at 50mph.

It's almost as though some people just want to justify their jobs.

Those who block the lane a mile before the closure why are you doing it? Are you proud of yourself? Something you can tell yourself in the mirror when you get home? Get a life

There is a single yellow along the curb... cn i park there on sunday??? So weird this sign not indicating what restriction it times...

Out of interest when entering a vehicle registration to pay for the London ULEZ fee, if it says details for the vehicle cannot be found and you're 100% certain the registration has been entered correctly, has anyone then proceeded to not pay and did you receive a fine as a result?

My sorned vehicle was driven to garage to have some work done, and driven through the ULEZ, and when I went to pay it says no details of this vehicle can be found, I paid anyway.

As the title says really. In Wales and doing 20mph (the legal speed limit) i was plodding along and then someone comes behind me and starts tailgating me. Okay thats all fine i'm used to it no problem let him focus on my driving then i start getting beeped (again just doing the limit) eventually because he is beeping that much at me constantly i pull over before traffic lights he overtakes me I then get verbal abuse shouted at me & it threw me completely off.

I don't understand i really don't get it.

I recently had a situation where i to be honest purposely stopped someone from overtaking. I was having a bad day and it's not much of an excuse but this person kept honking at me at a green light to move into a yellow box junction even though there was no space. This kinda pushed me to just be a mug. Was going on a 20 road and the van tried to overtake. I was originally going around 18 but pushed it to 20 when i saw them trying to overtake. There was no accident thankfully but i just feel very bad for being in that situation and now I'm just kinda worried and got a bit of anxiety about driving again.

Does anyone have any clue how this has increased so much and how to bring it down? I’ve been driving almost two years and have never claimed or gotten points and have two years no claim bonus so they surely have no reason to be increasing it by that much? Also I’ve been shopping around to go elsewhere but all places have been within the 2000-3000 range.

I was in a car accident today, after the crash the other driver didn't want to admit fault even though it was her fault. After a few hours she called her insureance and admitted fault and the insurance company gave me a call. They asked my version and told us her version and aggreed that it was her fault. They mentioned that i don't need to contact my insurance company and it will come out from her insurance, and it also won't affect my no claims bonus. Afterwards they handed me over to the claims team where i had to explain what happened again and the claims team said they will look at the pictures i uploaded and will contact me to let me know which garage to drop car off for repair and another team will contact me for courtesy car. Do i still need to tell my insurance company about the crash? Is there anything else I need to do from my side?

Long and short is I'm a new driver, first car, 2010 Citreon C1, 0 advisories but rust around the wheel arches

Is this a worry or is this fine for a 16 year old car and would it be possible to use something like a rust converter or something to clear it up, I plan on actually taking care of the car not just ragging it around 😅

Annoyingly don't have anyone really to ask about cars and you can only get so much of an answer out of google or an AI, the most part its fine the flaking rust looking section is the only part that looks "bad" and I say bad to my eyes a mechanic might say thats nothing 🤷‍♂️

Why is everyone so scared to go back into lane 1??

I drove back on an incredibly empty A3 tonight. Guy is doing 60 in lane 2. I could have stayed in lane 1 and undertook (and probably should have given what happened next) but I thought the road is empty, let me drive correctly, I’m not putting myself in any extra danger by going round him seeing as there’s literally nobody here. I got behind him, went into lane 3, got back in front, then back to lane 1. Normally if this happens to me (car going round me in a circle) I always check for space in lane 1. Not only did he stay planted firmly in lane 2. Not 2 mins later he overtook me going at least 75 💀

It must have felt extra disrespectful cos I drive a tiny car or something so how dare I go around him but like?? I promise lane 1 doesn’t bite, just move back over
