They can monitor "Genuine"  mileage through the MOT.

Down side means they wont know the details for the 1st 3 years.  So they will simply just relay on drivers honestly.

I suspect that this what will happen at some point.  Shortly after your MOT you'll get your tax bill in the post. 

Or more likely the tax you owe will pop up on your Digital Starmercard ID account and the cash will be taken automatically from your bank account. No ifs. No buts.

And if you haven't got the cash in your bank your EV will be remotely disabled until you can pony up, along with a deposit for next year. Plus interest of course.

Thin end of the wedge?

On tonight's episode: 03 reg Elite.

Turned into a real beauty and sold for £5400.

Makes me want to keep mine!

They've got until 2028 to figure out a way to ensure honesty doesn't come into it.

Probably another £150 for the pair...

Perhaps by not mentioning it, the Beeb believes that it can't be accused of being pro Palestinian. 

That’s a lot! lol

Bumpers r costing me 150 cash each. Not sure how much sill covers will be but I don’t anticipate a fortune.

I may have worded that better: in a normal attitude with sufficient air moving at a high enough speed would have been clearer.

All slats and spoilers do is change the shape of the wing as required to maximise lift/reduce drag at any given airspeed. Note that drag is not the opposite of lift.

It's a pretty moot point though... 150ft isn't enough altitude to do anything with.

It is not true that "wings will always provide lift as long as there is air flowing over it". Once a wing stalls, all it provides is drag.

AA191 crashed in the way it did because the crew reduced speed to V2 when they realised something was wrong. That's what the checklist says to do on a DC10 in the event of engine failure during take-off/climb out. However, the crew did not realise they had also lost hydraulic pressure in the left wing, and that loss caused the leading edge slats to retract. With no leading edge slats, V2 is not fast enough for a wing to produce lift and the left wing stalled. The right wing did still have flaps an slats, so was still producing lift. The result of lift on the right wing and a stall on the left wing are what caused AA191 to roll left and crash in the way it did. If the crew had maintained their original speed, the left wing would not have stalled, it would not have rolled left, and simulator test showed the plane could have remained airborne - although given it was on fire and had compromised hydraulics no way of knowing how long it could have remained airborne.

In this case, the plane appears to have been level until it hit the ground. Dashcams show no evidence of roll.
