I’m pretty confident that they don’t advise cruising at 50mph on a motorway in 2[sup]nd[/sup] gear!
Next you’ll be lecturing me on push pull steering and not trail braking into corners. :z

I never advocated cruising in 2nd.
Trail breaking before corners is fine  Try reading Roadcraft. It might help. Either that, or just write your own book.

No mention of the word 'cruising'. Most appropriate gear, not always 6th.
Anyway, no wonder you trail brake in corners if you're going round them at 50 in 6th all the time :rolleyes

Quote:No mention of the word 'cruising'. Most appropriate gear, not always 6th.Just that is what we were discussing, that’s all. Whatever gear you fancy bud. Quote:Anyway, no wonder you trail brake in corners if you're going round them at 50 in 6th all the timeYou know what, I’m struggling to think of any time ever trail braked on a motorway. :eek

Wickes today for some lightbulbs. Queue out of the door. Builders filling their vans with enough materials to see them through the next 4 weeks. Van suspension in serious trouble! Reminded me of the old Calais booze runs

My local Wickes, no turps or white spirit, also no brilliant white Dulux satinwood paint. The paint section looked quite sparse of stock in general.
