That is the justification for monitoring and controlling every aspect of our lives. Who decides what actions to monitor and control and how to do that. The same group of people and I see a conflict there. :icon_conf

I hope playing with the CD changer/radio/sat nav also falls into this category.

I thought DSG was another form of automatic?


Is DSG not developed by VW? Bet it will not work properly. VWs are a pile of shite.

I'm a non-smoker, but I disagree with this. Its no more dangerous than driving and using the radio/music system, particularly when actively changing stations/CD's.

You will be pleased to know then that smoking and other distractions such as loud music, inserting a cassette or CD or tuning a radio are all included in the same section of the new Highway Code.

An insane law made by power hungry ex-smokers on a morality trip, supported by the passive majority who are easily swayed

Such a good idea, and let's stop people talking in the car as well - it must be a distraction, mustn't it ?

Wankers

It's not a law - it's advice.

If people are insane enough to ignore good advice, ...

 

[bocadillo]

Its just the government hammering smokers at every opportunity - its very en vogue. How is smoking any different to eating or drinking or applying makeup? I see all of these things everday on the way to work.

Eating and drinking is included as a distraction in the same paragraph as smoking. There is no advice yet about applying make-up, shaving or plucking nasal hair.

what about dressing? Loads of times I have left the house in socks and got dressed on the way to where I am going?

Its 'manual' automatic yes It works perfectly and is well recognised as the best automatic gearbox in the world by a country mile.

I had a Quattro sport a few years back. Had no problems what so ever. Best ride was London to Ratby in just over 50mins. It was 2am though

More fool you then.

Three years ago I had a Skoda Octavia with a 1.8 Turbo engine, went like the clappers. Build quality remarkably good too. Seriously thinking about another one for when I replace my current car in a month.
