Midden. Don't.
The EHIC won't fly you home if you need more than just A&E care. Ask locksmith! Check your bank account. Many give cover but are a bit restrictive on biking holidays. Natwest does cover biking (and diving) but some don't at all or have restrictions on how long you've held your licence. Same goes for breakdown cover. 4732

too many people these days have "auto-lights" on their cars and rely on the car to know when it needs the lights on rather than stress a brain cell or two and find the switch manually.
Ban them!!!! (the auto lights and the drivers ) 4743

I went online and got a quote from gocompare last year for my son. It was less than £10 for the weekend.

satellites are easy to explain without giving away too much. Their sub fleet on the other hand...............
they do know something though. 4745

there are two types of civilian radar. One relies on the plane telling the "radar" where it is and the other is a true RAdio Direction And Ranging system that sends a radio pulse out and listens for the reflected signal to come back giving it a range and direction. To avoid clutter on the screens, control towers only tend to use the first one but military use both as the enemy is unlikely to sqwark their location to you.
The +4 hours thing on the engine data seems to be a bit vague at the moment. One minute they are saying that they have it, the next they don't. Rolls Royce don't seem to have made a statement yet about it but the US are now searching the Indian Ocean so there is possibly some truth in it. 4746

not many bikers are mad enough to venture out when the visibility of myopic car drivers is compromised further.
That said, I cannot remember the last time I used fog lights. Yes we have had thick mist but not real fog for ages round here. If you read the highway code, fog lights shouldn't be used unless visibility is below 100m. To put it in a way that people may understand though they should say, if its safe to do 70mph then you don't need them as the stopping distance at 70mph is roughly 100m. 4750

or the captain flew it under the radar and landed it somewhere for a few shekels towards his retirement, so the plane can be used later to attack singapores twin towers.
