The Modern Costs of Electric Car Rentals
With over 50 million registered DVLA driving licences in the UK, it might be surprising to some that Reuters reported that registrations for new cars fell by around 9% in July 2022. The lack of new cars on the roads has been attributed to supply shortages due to COVID-19 and global events.

How Do You Drive?
Let's be honest here. Have you driven around without a license? Yes, that includes a spin around the parking lot. Chances are, whoever took you for the first time grabbed the handle on the ceiling and several prayers were said to God about your safety during the first time you put your foot on the gas pedal. If you haven't driven before, don't be scared. It depends on your location and your preparedness before you sit behind the wheel.

Tesla: Why Buy One?
Tesla is the darling of Wall Street. It inevitably comes out in casual conversation at work and among friends. Many people love Tesla, to the point that it has become a religion. Many who have one brag about it. And don’t get me wrong, I love the car too. But after several conversations among my circle of friends, I learned two reasons that haven’t been talked about. I see these two reasons that will help make Tesla, the largest number of vehicles sold in the world.

Why do you advocate Tesla Motors?
Having driven Teslas and other pure electric cars, I don't think Teslas have much to offer other than their appearance. First, although charging is cheap, charging is troublesome and, in many cases, only offsets the economic cost with the cost of time.

Lemon Drop. Top Story - July 2022.
So, there is the story of the Tweety Bird-yellow Cannondale CAAD4 that came into, out of and back into my life in serendipitous ways. I raced on that bike as a CAT IV and then III on the Green Mountain Bicycle Cycling team from 1997 - 2002. I named that bike Lemon Drop. Yellow, yes, but I thought I could reverse jinx myself and my racing career if I had “drop” in its name, a measure of karmic control so I wouldn’t “get dropped” from the peloton in any race, and the bike would perform perfectly, never showing signs that it was a “lemon.” That didn’t work though. Karmic control is an oxymoron afterall.

Why Moving House at Uni is Easier Than You Think
In fact, Save The Student’s National Student Accommodation Survey for 2022 found that students are looking earlier and earlier at houses and flats for the next academic year. Up to 24% of the respondents said they began looking for places before and during November, with the number of people looking getting lower the closer it gets to spring/summer. This will be to save themselves the stress of looking during exam season and to make the transition between accommodations easier.

Six spins on the road to victory Pt 1
"...it takes a lot more than deciding to be the last to hit the brakes going into a corner..." Sage words from a young racing driver in the spring of his career in the late 1960's to be heeded by anyone with aspirations of becoming a competitive driver in any of motor sports competitive disciplines.
