Did you know that you can be done for that? Something like "Driving with undue care and attention"? Indus Silver

I believe it would be driving without due care and attention.

If that were the case Razz

No. Every other car I've driven throws the water away from the car when hitting a puddle, but the FL2 seems to suck it onto the windscreen Very Happy

Sure, great at low speed but actually dangerous for even small puddles when a bit faster.

The alarming thing is when the auto wipers dont come on straight after. Still it makes life exciting.....

The question I keep asking myself is why oh why did he drive his tractor into the field (bearing in mind it disappeared over its cab roof) when if anyone would know the layout of the field it would be the farmer, especially as he was going to tend to some cattle?

Shame
Sad
