Modern cars are getting cleverer, but that does not always mean they are getting easier to understand.
Simon and Ashley look at EV regenerative braking, one-pedal driving, coasting, and why efficiency depends heavily on where and how you drive.
There is a nostalgic detour through heel-and-toe, double-declutching, cold-start rituals and one very slow-motion hedge incident with an old Land Rover.
The pair question whether driver aids, camera systems, software recalls and right-to-repair are making cars safer, or just more complicated.
Plus: marathon recovery, safer roads education, 1991 motoring jokes and a Lotus Elan fact for the dinner-table bore in your life.
Leave us a review, send your questions, and help keep the Smart Drive chaos vaguely road-legal.
