Yeah I know the sort. They do something stupid and when you glance over at them, they're sat 3" from the steering wheel, eyes resolutely fixed to the end of their bonnets with a vacant expression. These people don't read the road ahead either. I really don't know what it is with British drivers. It feels like we on the forum are the last of an intelligent & assertive breed of drivers, having to thread our way through a road network full of Zombies :roll: In the space of a week and on same stretch of A12, I have seen:- - A silver BMW drive into the base of a bridge - Girl killed - A passat drive into the back of a parked lorry - 10 month old baby boy killed - A red Alfa underneath a Van in a petrol station - Casualties unknown. I mean, what the f'ck is wrong with people? I'm sorry but there is no excuse for driving into stationary objects other than sudden heart failure, or mechanical failure. 3 fatal accidents in the same bit of road is unprecedented where I live and just smacks of the dumb zombies previously mentioned. I'll put money on these people either f'cking about with their phones or falling asleep at the wheel. Sure, we all have momentary lapses in concentration but to veer off the A12 at 80mph straight into the back of a van filling up in a petrol station, and driving into the back of parked lorries? :cuckoo: And guess who has to pay for the carnage they cause, not to mention the pain caused to the families of the bereaved. This just isn't acceptable any more. It's got to change. Unfortunately, the main probelm here is the powers that be perceptions of dangerous driving. They all think that speed kills, however it been statistically proven that it's dangerous/careless driving that kills, which is completely different to speeding ( in a vast majority of cases)

Its the usual tilt and no slide function, it slides @2mills and jams, from what movement I can see, its sliding back in a straight line. Because of this the sunroof dosen't actually move down enough to cause any marks. I've not tried to manually open it as yet, had the local garage look at it while the were replacing my alternator and belt.
