Silly BBC story :p

"I used to pull up at traffic lights and think they would go green in a little while, and leave my feet on the clutch and accelerator, but now I put it into neutral, the handbrake on and take my feet off the accelerator, which can save you about £10-20 a week."

lol

BBC News - How are motorists saving fuel?

Most of the tips are sound, common sense mainly.

Why would anyone put their foot on the accelerator when they have the clutch down?

Looks like "Top tips for retards" to me.

Heh - the funny bit is saving £10-20 a week from not flooring it whilst idling at traffic lights - I seriously doubt that bit, doesnt anybody check facts in their stories anymore?

Well...the BBC most certainly don't, some piss poor reporting lately.

I assume the article means using clutch control on a hill rather than the handbrake.

It sounds like she's using clutch control every time she is stopped, whether on a hill or not; basically she's a shit driver.

The clue is in the word 'she'

Fucking bravo that they will no longer get cheaper insurance as well, statistics may well say wimmins are safer drivers but thats because the men crash while trying to avoid the lady doing her hair and nails and teeth whilst in the fast lane of the M6.













*runs*

I thought this thread was gonna be about this being the most read story on the beeb news site (for some inexplicable reason).

 

[Raven]

Someone is trolling the BBC I think

Well I drive fast, brake late, spin the wheels regularly and generally drive uneconomically.

Fuck the environment.
