3501 Just something I thought you lot would be interested in
The government is releasing a new website which lets you check the full MOT history of any car. The service is still in beta, but should be very useful to anyone buying a used car.

As it seems to have been released without a great deal of fanfare, I thought I'd share it here.

https://mot-history.net/

(Yes the link looks a bit dodgy, it is a gov.uk website, but they seem to have kept it sectioned off as it's still in beta.)

They already have a service that checks current MOT status.

https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

This looks to be an expansion of that. I don't think it's particularly dodgy to give details of a car's make and registration. Any time you drive anywhere, or any time anyone walks past your car, you give that away.

But I don't know really, as I am not a criminal, and am not versed in the ways of criminality.

Hit somebody's wing mirror on the approach to a busy roundabout. Didn't stop as it was proper busy and didn't really think anything of it at the moment it happened. At home now feeling pretty paranoid about being done for 'failing to stop at the scene of an accident'. It's a busy junction with a camera so I know it's on CCTV.

How fucked am I? How long 'till I get a knock at the door and get V&?

Should I call in the police station tomorrow to report and cover my ass? Or do I say nothing and plead ignorance if and when it comes to it?

Not sure where you're getting 'water based' from for WD40, but you're wrong.
It's a bunch of light oils (too light to be much use as lubricants, good for washing existing lubricants out of places) and a bit of something viscous and oily to leave a residue once the light stuff evaporates away (hence water displacing).

This. WD-40 was invented during WWII for weapon and machinery maintenance especially in adverse conditions. It is a light oil that is good at dissolving rust and grease-based dirt, but as a light and volatile oil, it tends to be quite poor at keeping moving parts lubricated permanently.

You should also never use WD-40 on things like motorbike or bicycle chains, because it can remove a chain's inner lubrication which, once washed out, is very difficult to replenish.

If everyone bought cars for purely rational reasons, most car companies wouldn't exist. BMW or Mercedes aren't selling you a functional means of getting from A to B, they're selling you a complicated psychological experience that you happen to be able to use to get to work.

Most of the engineering effort in modern cars is about psychology. Psychoacoustic researchers carefully tune the resonance of the door structures so they make a satisfying 'thunk' when you close them. Many cars have suspension systems that are deliberately heavily sprung and slightly over-damped to make them feel subjectively sportier, at the cost of both ride quality and traction. The feel of the steering, of the buttons and switches, the view over the bonnet, they're all designed to evoke a certain feeling.

Before electronically augmented engine noise, manufacturers still artificially fiddled with the engine noise by tuning the exhaust system. In a sense, engine notes have been 'fake' for decades, because they have been deliberately engineered to sound a certain way. Electronic augmentation has come about largely because of widespread turbocharging - as any F1 fan knows, an efficient turbo soaks up most of the natural exhaust noise.

>The feel of the steering, of the buttons and switches, the view over the bonnet, they're all designed to evoke a certain feeling.

And this is often achieved with surprisingly simple means, because after all, even if a button feels like it was chiseled from a block of solid metal, it needs to be cost efficient. A lot of this is done simply by sound deadening; for example, I once had to remove a door card of my Audi A4, a car on which the doors would clunk with the sumptuous sound of a padded safe door. But most of this was simply done by sticking a sheet of rubber mat on the door frame, and by putting a 2-millimetre layer of closed cell foam right under the door card. Other than that, the door frame was no different from the doors of my brother's '98 Renault Espace, which sounded like a monkey shitting in an empty tin bucket.

Electronic augmentation has come about largely because of widespread turbocharging - as any F1 fan knows, an efficient turbo soaks up most of the natural exhaust noise.

True; but then again, even on naturally aspirated engines, there have always been people who fiddled with the exhaust to give it a more wholesome sound. I'm not sure where fakery really begins; it is nearly impossible to design an exhaust system which will not affect the sound of an engine in one way or another. Because most of the sound does come out of the exhaust, and only part of it is emitted by the engine block itself, and because your engine is tucked away under the bonnet, you hear even less of it over the exhaust.

Anyway, here's a bit of exhaust porn:

You're probably all right, if there were no cameras there, or if you didn't see any flash.

A couple of months ago, I was shitting myself because I stole my dads car and was speeding around, when a camera flashed. I thought "shit he is going to get a letter in the post and lose points over this." Anyway, nothing happened.

I hope that's not where you've left it, because that's decidedly not OR enough to SORN. I'm also struggling to think why you'd need to SORN it if you simply don't have a licence. As has been said already, you don't need a driving licence to own a car.

Is there an "I'm sorry" hand signal?

I just almost caused a little fender bender, turned onto a road and she appeared out of nowhere. Must of been in my blind spot but it was entirely my fault for not checking it.

Obviously I felt really bad about this but was in front of her afterwards, so my signalling options were flash my hazards or wave my hand. But those are usually a "thanks" which would just make me look like a snarky cunt. My other option would be to try to improvise a hand signal but decided whatever I did would just look like my hand was spazzing out.

Eventually I took the "Look straight forward and pretend they're not right behind you" option. But is there some kind of clear way to say "I fucked up, sorry"?

Holding your hands up while looking in the rear view mirror is probably the best you can do.

I don't think there's an easy answer to this problem. There was a documentary about body language fronted by John Cleese that explained a major cause of road rage is an inability to see other drivers' faces, as when we bump into each other in person we automatically pull apologetic expressions.

I think holding up your hands is good enough. I don't think flashing or waving will be seen as snarky, more like "thank you for tolerating my abhorrent motoring".

While we're here the other day I tried to do a three point turn and it took about seven, and also I managed to stall. All while holding up a police van. I flashed my hazards AND did a hand wave thing that I think translated as "sorry officers, I'm not drunk"

Relatively new driver here.

On busy roundabouts, how do you get from the inside lane to the outside, especially if you're going from two lanes into a one lane road? What's the proper etiquette? I slow down, hope that someone will either be turning out (which they should be), hope there's no-one immediately behind them and try and merge. What's the 'proper' way to attack this?

In this example the left lane is for taking the first exit, so if you want to take the 3rd exit you switch into the left hand lane in the hatched section as the people at this exit will be giving way to you and the left hand lane will be clear because everyone who was in it has now turned left.

The rule is that what you tell them must accord with what a reasonable person would say. Is the job a dead cert? If so, and you start at the beginning of August, I wouldn't see a problem with describing that as your occupation after the academic year ends in a couple of weeks.

The insurance industry is all about risk. Not only do they price your premium based on the risk of a payout, they do verification checks based on the risk of fraud. Bear in mind that you are attempting to insure a vehicle that is not taxed or certified as roadworthy, so they may be paying closer attention than usual.

If you can do the whole thing at the end of July between graduation and starting work (taxing on 1st August to avoid paying for a dead month) then this problem goes away. Obviously, allow yourself a full two week window in case it needs a retest and more work.

Anybody ever had any experience with parking eye before?

My girlfriend got a car radio fitted at Halfords, who told her that she had to leave the keys with them for a few hours because there was a wait, and then time for service.

She then unknowingly got a ticket frmo parking eye.

Halfords have since informed me that they are meant to have phoned to say which registrations aren't to be issued a ticket if they've had work done.

My girlfriend, being away at university since then has not opened her mail, only the other week to find that they've escalated it to court and issued a CCJ against her name, all in the time she's not actually had chance to open the letters which she never should have had in the first place.

Parking eye acknowledge she shouldn't have been given one, but won't drop the clam bcause they're saying she should have sorted it sooner despite the fact she's been at uni, and didn't open mail bcause she never breaks the laws, and didn't expect she'd need to as Halfords should have sorted it.

So they shouldn't have given her one in the first place, and know that, yet are still pursuing it. You can get it thrown out in frnot of a judge but that costs £155 to set it aside.

Is there more a scumbag way of doing business? Anybody had experience with them before?

Yes, that's correct.

Why? She hasn't changed address. She lives at home and at university in the term time. It's not unrealistic to expcr her to leave her permanent address that isn't term time as her DVLA registered address? I appreciate what you're saying, but she got a car radio fitted and Halfords failed to sort it.

How is this her fault in anyway?

It is a CCJ. I'll help her appeal to get it removed, even if satisfied because it is unjust.

It suggests on the court information that set aside fee is payable no matter what from the looks of things.

>She hasn't changed address.
The law regards your address as being a place where documents may be served upon you. If you move during term time but want to keep your old address, you need to make sure your mail follows you. (Except for insurance, obviously. If you're living away from home in term time but don't tell your insurer both addresses, you might not actually be insured.) It was Halfords fault that she got the ticket, but her own fault that it went to a CCJ, as had she used the correct address or got someone to pass her mail on she could have sorted it out before court. Whichever way you spin it, the reality is that because she didn't open her mail she has a CCJ, so that's the position she needs to start from now. She needs to be aware that it may be an uphill battle and that certain things will count against her. For instance, she can't claim that she didn't receive anything, as you've admitted that she did but merely choose to open it all later. If she can get to actually contesting the original claim, she could use the fact that they've admitted that she shouldn't have got the ticket to argue that they claimed in bad faith. But she needs to get to that point first, and she needs to understand that the first hurdle is of her own making.

Thanks for the advice. Not trying to absolve her to angel status, but it does seem ridiculous parking eye would knowingly try to ruin somebody's credit rating and therefore life for the sake of a claim that they themselves acknowledge shouldn't have been issued in the first place.

I don't understand how the law allows for people to be dealt that hand without anything else, but thanks anyway.

I'm pissed off, but I guess it's time to start chasing.

Let them take her to court explain how the case is being made in error, explain that you have attempted to inform them of this. The judge will agree and give them a bollocking for wasting everyone's time.

Read the thread. They've been to court already. They won because there was no defence.

Do any of you lads own a dashcam?

After having someone drive into my car and then claim it was my fault (eventually the insurers found in my favour, but it dragged on for months) and something similar happening to one of my mates I'm considering getting one. Groupon have one for £14.99 plus £1.99 delivery so I may give that a whirl.

That's weird, what reason is there for making them illegal? If there is one, of course.

Maybe he didn't mean illegal, but inadmissible in court. I have no idea if that's the case either though.

I'm guessing he's probably referring to the data protection act meaning you can't film anyone without their permission, or something.

This is the kind of disgraceful ignorance of the law one might expect from the police, but on gs?

I'm due to get on a plane for the first time in my life tomorrow morning. I've already checked in online and am about to print a boarding card. It's a five hour flight, and I intend to bring a change of clothes (in case the rest of my luggage is lost), some books and a snack in my carry-on.

Am I missing anything? What travel tips do you lads have?

It's soap, except it's on a rope.

You can hang it up in the shower or give it as a tacky gift to people you don't particularly like or know well. I think it's a thing mostly because it rhymes.

I found this description on the web:
>Ordinary bar soap can be extremely difficult to control when wet, and picking up a dropped soap bar could have dire consequences.

Thanks for the comprehensive responses, lads. I think I'm still a bit agog at the idea that slippery soap could be considered such an important a gap in the market.

Do you think owning a car is essential in modern Britain?

Pretty sure they're express and still stop at three or four stops.
