Eating whilst driving
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
An American insurance company has researched the top 10 foods NOT to eat whilst driving
The research was conducted after they discovered a customer had a restraining order on any food stuff within his reach whilst driving. We would warn of any form of distraction whilst driving, which if found to be the cause of an incident could lead to a careless or dangerous driving conviction, depending on the severity. Top 10 food offenders are:
- Coffee – Hot liquid
- Soup – Again, hot liquid
- Tacos – food everywhere
- Hot Dogs – sloppy food
- Hamburgers – Hot and greasy
- Barbecued food – Greasy food = Greasy hands
- Fried Chicken – More greasy hands
- Donuts – Filling everywhere
- Fizzy drinks – could explode
- Chocolate – could melt in hands
Pee Power
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Boffins in the states have come up with a novel way of powering your car, extracting hydrogen from urine
The technology uses significantly less power to extract the hydrogen out from urine than it takes to do the same with water. This is due to the Hydrogen being less tightly bound to the nitrogen in urine. The scientists reckon they can get 60 mpg pee powered cars out in production within a year. Humans produce 2-3 Litres of urine a day, making it an abundant power supply.
Highways Agency Statistics
Monday, July 20th, 2009
The Highways Agency, responsible for the management of roads in England has released its 2008-2009 statistics
The results show that the agency has met 7 out of its 8 targets set. Deaths on the roads fell from 2,400 to just over 2,000. Journey reliability and road user satisfaction both improved says the report. The introduction of Active Traffic Management systems, such as those used on the M42, show congestion can be reduced without resorting to road widening schemes.

Driver details are being accessed by councils for minor offences
The database which contains car and driver information for nearly every vehicle on the road is being used by councils to obtain details of people accused of minor crimes such as litter dropping, totally unrelated to the concerns of the DVLA. Under law councils and the Police are allowed access to the information.
