I struggled reading that but if your phone is so important to you and you drive then get yourself a proper fully fitted car kit.

All I do is turn the ignition key and the car kit and phone become one. It is so simple and not much more than a fine.

to drive a transit van you shoud have to take an extra test as it is clear the majority of them think they are in a micra and think just because they dont have a rear window they dont need to check whats behind them or along side them
It helps when people stay far enough back that they can be seen in the wing mirrors.
Most car drivers seem to think my sprinter is a micra, and expect it to stop as quickly, so they just pull out in front of me on a regular basis, car drivers should have tests in a car, a van, a motorbike and a truck, they may then appreciate how car drivers affect others.

The “Denver Boot” immobilises the vehicle whilst the tow truck gets round to it.

It also gives the luckless driver the opportunity to pay out loads of money to have it removed and thus saves on the expense of towing it away.

Most modern cars have them on the doors, so I reckon they are called door mirrors :p

Well, small report in Observer re. vandals causing £100 damage to a 'wing mirror' on a Vauxhall Astra. So, perhaps Neil will inform them that this is not the correct title ... :D

If thats the one on dill hall lane katex, it wasnt vandals, it was passing cars that struggle because of the way that the homeowners park both sides of the road (even the ones with drives), and park at stupid angles, have seen a few damaged cars over there lately.
