Tiredness does not always arrive with a yawn; sometimes it appears as impatience, poor habits and driving that is just slightly below your usual standard.


  • How long-term fatigue, stress and cognitive load can affect driving, plus why commentary driving can help refocus the mind.
  • Simon’s 1,800-mile Audi Q6 road trip through France, including roof-box efficiency losses, charging costs and surviving 43°C heat.
  • Whether young people should learn at 17 or wait until 21, before Ashley receives some gentle governance over his one-handed Volvo driving.


There is also solar-powered EV charging, unreliable dash cams, a suspicious BMW oil-disposal fee and a bottle of Lucozade choosing violence in motorway traffic.
