Surrey Phil Nov 2016 10:42am, 7 Nov 2016 1,692 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I had to do a short local 8 mile drive this morning, after the rush hour and school run and some of the driving was pretty bad: 1. Woman failed to leave a gap to allow me to pull out of a side road. 2. Man in a 'Chelsea Tractor' getting in wrong lane and cutting up other road users. 3. White van man cutting me up on dual carriageway. 4. Car reversing out of driveway in my road and, when I tried to pass (as they were stationary at the roadside for considerably more than a few seconds), decided to pull out right in front of me. On top of that, I hit every single red light on the way.
CharlieP Nov 2016 10:42am, 7 Nov 2016 476 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP I think you mean DAB radio coverage, TRO. My gripe with DAB (which I rarely if ever lose reception of) is its implementation in this country, with way too many stations crammed in at low bitrates and often in mono.
CharlieP Nov 2016 10:44am, 7 Nov 2016 477 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP While on driving, people who seem to think that we shouldn't issue a single parking or speeding ticket until every last rapist and murderer is caught.
