      The UK Driving Test

      My experience of hill-start assist is that it couldn't be trusted to prevent the vehicle rolling backwards and the handbrake was very much needed.

      The UK Driving Test

      Actually I got the 2019 Mercedes van controls wrong: It has the indicators on the left stalk the same as my 1999 Honda but also has the wiper controls on the same stalk whereas the car has the wiper controls are on the right stalk with the side/headlight controls on the left . But the van uses...

      The UK Driving Test

      I drive a manual car and an automatic work van and use right foot braking for both. I also go karting for which you have to use left foot braking. I seem to automatically know which foot to use for what depending on what I am driving. Call it contextual muscle memory. I have more of a...

      The UK Driving Test

      On a modern car you don't need to open the bonnet to check those as there are dashboard warning lights. But often the dashboard warning light comes on when there is a sensor fault.

      More useful is the FindMyaddress web site as resource of last resort especially for new developments where they have not got round to putting up any street signs as well as individual houses with names only, clustered in a village for example. Based on all the councils' housing records...

      DAB+

      I have compared Classic FM and other station using DAB/DAB+ as the source and using the online streaming services. The latter certainly sounds better though perhaps only by enough to encourage the dedicated audiophile to sacrifice the convenience of using DAB/DAB+ instead for dedicated...

      DAB+

      I use a Roberts Bluetune 65 DAB+ radio with Bluetooth and aux input/output connectivity to connect to my hi-fi amp so not up to speed with media streamers. These days my music listening is more "background" than dedicated so no longer chasing perfect sound quality. I suggest you have a look at...

      DAB+

      For better hi-fi quality I suggest they stream Classic FM to their hi-fi system rather than rely on broadcast radio. Simplest way is from a smartphone over Bluetooth to the amp but even better is a dedicated media streamer with a superior DAC hard wired to an amp input.

      UK is set for a new free TV service

      I don't think being "elderly" has much to do with it. Those generations have lived through more technological developments that were more tricky to use than that we see today as user-friendliness became a thing.

      UK is set for a new free TV service

      Don't see how this is different from what many people have been doing for years. And more recently BT Youview has allowed its viewers to go totally online and do away with the need for a DTT aerial. No need for a new "smart" TV as a Firestick or Chromecast dongle is an inexpensive plug in...

      Media mistakes

      Was listening to the latest episode of the More or Less podcast today which discussed apparently alarming (but actually bogus) claims about Covid vaccination related death rates. At one point the presenter said that for those who had not been vaccinated over the 18 months under examination that...
