Haven't read the standard myself, but I'm calling a tentative BS on that. The way these things are usually written it would be mainly based...

Combination of DRLs with headlight switches always on "auto"?

I don't speed as I value my cash/licence/driving record, but generally the limiting factor is the legal limit, not how fast I feel safe...

There's a notable lack of transparent road safety stats IMO - what percentage of crashes are speed-related *without* contributing factors...

The "rule" they told me was 3 months FT / 6 months casual, but approved with less so I'd say it's flexible.. It might depend more on...

"Reckless" or "negligent" might be more apt than "accidental"?

I've also seen "one" where there was indeed a driveway and probably used to have a car space, but now has no gate at the end of the drive,...

Nothing stopped me from getting all 4 supps in the same name as the main card (my own legal name) so I could never have any such issues.

Correct. Assuming the carpark is off the street, turning in or out of it the vehicles are crossing the footpath and must give way to...

Looks ok with just the DRLs, but headlights look bad (and worse again with foglights too) Rear isn't great either IMO. Other than that,...

You can still have an auction, it's just that you're not wasting everyone's time by holding one then not selling to the highest bidder. If...

There's a few anomalies around. One example I found was at Mazda where the CX had 40:20:40 split rear seats (good for skis and other long...
