It is interesting to see the comment from the person in Britain with unlimited PTO. I've never heard of this in the EU/UK before. They would need to use at least the legal minimum, which in Britain is unchanged from the EU minimum

For the UK, you also need to represent the Celtic languages. You'll need at least these letters: â, ê, î, ô, û, ŵ, ŷ, à, è, ì, ò, ù, ẁ (maybe ỳ?), á, é, í, ó, ú, ẃ (maybe ý?), ï (maybe more ¨), ... Example: https://www.llyw.

In Britain they teach "2 seconds", and suggest measuring it by counting from a sign/lamp, road marking etc. I think that corresponds more-or-less to the official numbers [1], which under 65km/h are very close to the Ger

Do I understand that correctly, that the Tesla can be set to follow 2-7 car lengths behind the preceding vehicle? At what sort of speeds is this available? The British driving exam and driving code says a distance of 6 car lengths is approp

There was a tool lending library near where I grew up in England in the 1990s. There was also a toy library, where we borrowed toys for a month or so at a time. I doubt either exists now, but I'm sure the buses do. They don't smel

Your figures don't add up. Divide the electric car by 4 or 5 and it's still more than the electric Eurostar train, and that's a high speed train too.

You generally can't add an extra coach to a high speed train. They are fixed in formations of 4-9 or so coaches, sometimes with one set of wheels shared between two coaches. It is more aerodynamic and safer. You can usually couple two
