Is there anything more daft and pointless than a secure wheel nut?

I am with Clarkson on the Jaaaag thing.

Driven by golf playing bores.

They should be shot. Once we have finished shooting Audi and BMW drivers.

So you are only safe if you have a Merc cos you stop for people at zebra crossings?

Er, no. Mercs are the ideal run over people at pedestrian crossing vehicles due to the aiming tool available at the front of the car

Not all have that now.

The AA man used a chisel!? WTF!?

You can buy a wheel locknut removal tool for about £29 IIRC. Then you just need to buy either aftermarket locking wheel nuts or from the dealer.

Laser Locking Wheel Nut Remover

Or for around the same price -

Only the other day I saw Vauxhall, Ford, Honda, Kia and other drivers all change lanes on the motorway without giving a signal (a moving traffic offence in itself).

Almost daily, I see Ford, Nissan, Vauxhall and Citroen etc drivers (oh, dont start me on white van man and wagon drivers!) cut others up on dual carriageways and motorways.

Yes, there are some twunt BMW, Audi and MB drivers about but the plebs driving around in their plebmobiles are more numerous and every bit worse.

Get a crappy old van. Nobody going to steel my wheels.

PS If my little van should happen to read this, I am just joking, I love you.

Xog,

is the Maestro van still on the road ? Or has it been upgraded ?

Milan.

I had to get towed home after getting a flat because my then wife had removed the locking wheel nut thingy from the glove box and tucked it in a kitchen drawer "for safe-keeping".

Huh?! Is that some kind of wheel nut thread, or are you talking about this CUK thread?

Shut down a day early have we?

If all the lanes next to you are free and there is a massive distance between you and the vehicles around you then who are you signalling for?

There is a difference between this and pulling out slowly, signalling just in front of a vehicle doing 70mph so they have to brake because you can't work out the lorry/van in front of you is limited which is why the distance between you has got smaller.
