That reminds me. Must try these with a performance meter (on my private test track) and see what I can achieve, as they haven't changed since I learned to drive 20 years ago.

Then again, as brakes have got better the standard of our road surfaces seems to have got worse...

1. What is given as the overall stopping distance from 70mph? Half of what the highway code says

2. What is given as the braking distance from 50mph? Half of what the highway code says

3. What is given as the thinking distance from 50mph? well that depends if im drunk, high or sober, but since its usual a mixture of all 3 it say 3 min 21 secs  :o

4. What is the maximum Motorway speed for a 4x4 coupled to an unloaded, twinaxle trailer? it would really depend on what 4x4 it was, a Range Rover should be able to hit at least a 110mph

5. Two different coloured reflective studs may be encountered embedded along the nearside of a carriageway, what are they? they are reflective studs (it kinda gives it away in the question dude ::))

6. Two other colours are used, what & where?  :-/
