  1. The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 4) Regulations 2003 Citation, commencement and interpretation 1. These Regulations may be cited as the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 4) Regulations 2003 and shall come into force on 1st December 2003. Amendment of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 2. The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986[2] are amended by inserting after regulation 109 - Mobile telephones 110. - (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a road if he is using - (a) a hand-held mobile telephone; or (b) a hand-held device of a kind specified in paragraph (4). (2) No person shall cause or permit any other person to drive a motor vehicle on a road while that other person is using - (a) a hand-held mobile telephone; or (b) a hand-held device of a kind specified in paragraph (4). (3) No person shall supervise a holder of a provisional licence if the person supervising is using - (a) a hand-held mobile telephone; or (b) a hand-held device of a kind specified in paragraph (4), at a time when the provisional licence holder is driving a motor vehicle on a road. (4) A device referred to in paragraphs (1)(b), (2)(b) and (3)(b) is a device, other than a two-way radio, which performs an interactive communication function by transmitting and receiving data. (5) A person does not contravene a provision of this regulation if, at the time of the alleged contravention - (a) he is using the telephone or other device to call the police, fire, ambulance or other emergency service on 112 or 999; (b) he is acting in response to a genuine emergency; and © it is unsafe or impracticable for him to cease driving in order to make the call (or, in the case of an alleged contravention of paragraph (3)(b), for the provisional licence holder to cease driving while the call was being made). --------------------- that covers it - next you will ask me what drive means i'm guessing!!
  2. I know it is frequent topic but I just need some sound advice. I have stock 16" wheels front and back are on 225/50/16 tyres with 16x8jj wheels. I am looking at 17" wheels on ebay which are 17x7j front with 215/40/17 (offset 35) 17x?? rear with 235/40/17 (i am assuming theses are wider rims (might not be??) but have asked anyway and await info.) so is it ok to stick 225 tyres on 7j rim and will they be ok on a supra with that offset? (n/a, j-spec brakes, if it makes a difference.)
  3. haha - me and my brother always ask if cats are racist whenever anyone asks "is ...... racist?" it is in honor and respect to charlie brooker, the thinking mans harry hill and modern tv genius. discussing Celeb Big brother 2007 @4.56 trcA4r41OL8
  4. nice, i was thinking candy apple red myself. i take it that the paint has more sparkle in good sunlight?
  5. speedos will always read over and should never read under as the VOSA chaps won't pass an import it if it is 1mph under at set levels. (eg doing 71mph reading 70mph) p.s. i assume that you found this out on a private road (or rolling road) ?!

    0-60

    the distance covered is the area under the line on a speed time graph. (takes me back to being 14 that does!)
  7. Both cars have their pros and cons. Having had both, the supra is the better car in performance and looks. For economy and practical space the gt4 wins. It is a question of what you require v. what you want to drive. In the end you decide. For me the celica was no substitute to even my current NA. So you drive both and decide is my tip.
  8. Q. is the satnav correct? to check try it in another car.
  9. i am looking at blacking up too - i wondered if anyone has seen black chrome on a car? this company sell it (alond with all the flippy stuff) but i can't find it on a car pic http://www.outrageousfinishes.co.uk/products/black_chrome_effect/
  10. agreed. 'rejecting the goods' from memory of contract law terminology (thankfully i only do crime these days!)
  11. i thought supraTRD83 tried this first but got nowhere. if the dealer refuses to acknowledge the faults you have a court case on your hands and need an expert witness - that is all i am saying. (alternatively to court is to suffer the cost and learn from the mistake!)
  12. yeah you would need an expert to have looked at the car and support the assertion. in car cases time is vital and this is why the moment a problem showed up it should have been independantly checked out.
  13. thats right but this car seems to have faults (and very many faults) that would have been apparant to the garage selling it and that is a very different situation.
  14. this car sounds a right lemon and the dealer knew it. i'd be tempted to reject the car and demand a full refund. in future you should take a mechanic friend to check over any cars you want to buy or pay for an independant inspection of the car - save you time and money in the long run.
  15. no, i mean short sentences don't work in general. they cost a fortune and lead to revolving crime patterns. if it is not worth a 12 month sentence then they should get an alternative to custody.
  16. they took it back (in the period of warranty) and did not repair it. they have an ongoing duty, despite the time elapsing otherwise they could have held the car for a month then done nothing and given it back to you, you would be in the exact same position. so they are still responsible - time to see a solicitor i says (if it is an expensive fix.)
  17. this is just brilliant and very crap at the same time; psTUiQzNoxw but here is my favourite OTT 80s rock 'charidee mate' song; too much hair! too much noodling! - but funny to hear them trying to outplay each other - it seems to be never ending. P7eqxg92YG0
  18. no one knows his background - so it is pointless to coment on it - eg. this might be a light sentence if his pcs for example have a string of violent assaults/attempted murder etc. also the threats to kill may have been genuine but not carried through for some reason. in short we just don't know. but in general my view is that less than 12 months in jail is a fairly pointless exercise.
  19. The episode was quite good too and seemed longer than usual. It is all computers now I think so no more Korean sweat shop tracers to exploit.
  20. Oooh, a front end low speed crash would mean the engine would probably end up in the driver seat. Ouch.
  21. peanut or chocolate, which one is stronger? only one way to find out! FIGHT!!!!
  22. This car sold already?! Who bought it then? And did the collective pointing and mocking secure a good price?
