Otherwise they are just a distraction. An advantage of this strategy is that it encourages you to be more aware of what's going on around you to help determine if anyone needs to be told of your intentions. Well that's just nonsense because you _will_ miss things around you. Guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly look at youtube features by a driving instructor called Ashley Neal. His advice is invariably excellent and if everybody took to the roads using his methods the incidents of accidents would drop dramatically. Son of Phil Neal of Liverpool fame, I believe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2023 Airframe hours; engines are bolt-on extras that can be replaced, it is the airframe that is important to airworthiness certification. Why a pilot would need to know it I'm not sure, but the operator certainly does and so does the CAA or whoever is fulfilling that role. 1 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a purchase with a RFID (?) tag from Maplin which was duly deactivated by them so I could exit the store without setting off the alarm, shortly after I went into HMV and it set off their alarm! It was proved by the security person holding the box and waving it through the detector. I've even had car key fobs and other things set them off. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are cheap and not 'smart'. Just a little circular antenna - with perhaps a simple foil capacitor to get you out of the shop. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying when you get home, go to put the item of clothing on and find the tag is still fitted! Means going back to the store with receipt in hand. Or did I force it off - can't remember! I did buy something the other day and the cashier spotted a 2nd tag! One for each leg, sleeve? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My driving instructor (1972) told me that I should only use indicators if there is someone (vehicle or pedestrian) around who would need to know what I was about to do. He advised that I did that on my test as it would show that I was aware of all other road users. I did and passed. These days the roads are so busy that you inevitably have to use them all the time. 5 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK for a one off bit of fun but having been poked and prodded on a coronary unit I wouldn’t recommend it as a lifestyle. I actually live in "Staly Vages", (not sure if you knew that or not), but otherwise there are not too many similarities between the too except: - Greasy cafes; Nightlife (a few remaining Pubs); and some of the weather... The weather!?! We just had a tornado. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-67832935 This hit 2 days ago, on the other side of the valley, only about a kilometer from me. Very localised (short and very violent). Whilst they had a lot of damage, (I've seen it), we only suffered a loose empty plant pot moving around the garden!
