Post your totally random driving questions here…
I’ll start, when a driver has an accident and the police take a mobile phone for investigation purposes, can the phones’ owner claim for any losses? I’m thinking an owner driver who relies on his mobile, or maybe a driver who may be a carer for someone at home?
Anyone know the answer to this or has an equally random question?
The Police have well tested rules & procedures to follow if/when seizing anything for evidence purposes.
I reckon you’d have a hard time claiming for any losses.
Our local Bobby seized an air rifle off of me for very spurious reasons, my mate what knows about the law got it back for me after 4mths, he reckoned it would’ve cost me over £4k in his legal fee’s to fight them.
My totally random question is:
What do idiots think about?
What, exactly, is inside their heads when they’re mucking up everyone else’s day?
Well, as we all know, idiots, as we term them ( politically incorrect I know ) don’t really have a full brain such as you and I, a bit like the village idiot syndrome,but some are less fortunate than others such as my grandson, who is 13 yrs old, cannot talk, can barely walk, and is, and will be in nappies for the rest of his natural days, but lives happily in his own little world, so the answer to your question is , who knows, and for that matter, who ever knows whats in anyones brain or head. Never judge a book by the cover, look at Steven Hawkins.
So Glad to be of help…next question please.

I asked what idiots think about, I suspect that your grandson isn’t one, I know for definite that Dr. Stephen Hawking isn’t one.
Thank you for answering my question 
Why do people that don’t want to know always masqeurade as someone who doesn’t actually know? 
Eg.
“Hey bud, don’t do that - you’ll tip it over!”
“Huh! You’ve only been here five minutes - ■■■■ off!”
<Crassssshhhhh!>
why do people who say they don’t want to know what someone is doing, keep asking other people what the person is doing and why? 
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Why do we drive on the left and the rest drive on the right ?
Why the difference ?
Is the colour I know as red the same colour that you know as red? Or are they different colours but we’ve always known them by that name so we think they’re the same?
Is there such a place as Potto (Prestons of… ) ?
Is there such a place as Old ( Knights of…) ?
Are Jacks trucks really reliable,and some of the best ?
Questions 1 and 2 are semi serious BTW,I can honestly say that I’ve never seen signs for those 2 places,perhaps I ought to get out more
Inspired by Baggie’s question.
Can anyone tell me what B.O.K’ing is? Apparently, if you use Butlers of Kent, you’ll B.O.K. never understood that as an advertising slogan.

Well so the story goes everyone used to ride on the left as most were right handed and it was best for defending yourself with a sword from an oncoming bounder, apparently Napeleon was left handed and he being a fairly forceful chap he changed it. Like I say that’s the common story, true or not? Who knows.
To add wasn’t it more countries drive on right but more people on left or vice versa or some such? Never looked to deeply into that fact.

Same as any spiral staircase in a castle went up clockwise. This impedes the right handed attacker going upstairs leaving the person defending heading downstairs free swing to defend themselves.
Why are do tyres have both metric and imperial units eg 365mm X 22.5 inches?

Just realised it was driving questions. When I was a kid I used to wonder why tractor units didn’t fall flat on their ‘faces’ without a trailer.
What does the term “hotshots” refer to in transport.

It is either (a) a transport co formed by Hollywood A lister Charlie Sheen or (b) a load (or part of) that a customer requires extremely urgently. It usually (but not exclusively) gets put onto a courier and because of the urgent nature of the load a higher premium is paid to the carrier. A good example being “line stoppers” in the automotive business.
My question is; why does anybody who drives with a knitted rug on their rear parcel shelf drive at least 30% under the speed limit?
What is a caution horse?
