Back to the subject of MT safety. Firstly, the car I was given to drive recently up to Lincolnshire and back was virtually asthmatic. 0-60mph probably took about 17 seconds. It actually felt dangerous at times driving along the A1, particularly heading south where High Dike joins the A1 just north of Colsterworth. With my foot to the floor, I must have made it to about 40mph by the end of the accelerating lane. Quite scary with the very fast moving traffic trying to get around me.
Secondly, my colleague had a red light come on during a very long drive to Lossiemouth with most of the journey in darkness. With the box mounted just above the dashboard, it was extremely distracting to have a huge bright light reflecting off the windscreen as it came on and off intermittently.
