useful driving tips from the BBC

Paying particular attention to tips 1, 4 and 6:

1. Do 50 on the motorway….at least now I know who to blame for the old duffers getting in everyones way.

4. Don’t drive short distances. So I should do 30 laps of the car park everyday when I come to work just to make the trip longer?

6. That’s just plain silly

Only use a roof rack when you no longer require it.

 

what the hell does that mean?

It means that the BBC are hiring muppets (ill-informed ones at that) to write their web-pages... ;) :roll: :lol:

 

It's actually MORE economic in a modern, fuel injected car to accellerate hard (about 2/3 throttle) to the speed you want to be at and then cruise in 5th, than to change gear early as tip 2 suggests.... :roll:

 

Also, most modern cars are geared to be most fuel economic at around 62mph not 50... :roll:

 

Yup... Muppets who read old '50s/60's "how to drive" guides... :lol: :twisted:
