Sounds like my hubby, he constantly asks me even when the bridge height is 4m!
Well yes, I am aware that it's 10.17 feet but that is a meaningless measurement in a roadsign context.
MisterB. I have obviously annoyed you but that was never my intention. It was meant in jest but clearly our humour is very different. For what it is worth I too attended a comprehensive school, leaving a few days after my 16th birthday with no qualifications whatsoever to start a 5 year apprenticeship. I am not in a position to sneer at anyone; even if I wanted to. I don’t come on here for that.
Ok, I obv took it the wrong way, perhaps a smiley emoji might have helped me realise it was all tongue in cheek, anyway it's all clear now but thanks for taking the time to clarify. Best wishes
PaulandChrissy print a modification for the sun visor that will sort the problem.
This is indeed the case. If the height is above 3 m, then it needs to be displayed in feets and inch, the height of the characters are to be at least 40 mm. Metric height is optional, but sensible, especially if in mainland Europe. At the moment, we are +- 2.91m, so the height plate is optional (but sensible).
Easy fix, reverse into a suitable wall.
Anyone got an idea of the tyre pressures for a Citroen Relay 2.2 2021 campervan, only just got it and haven't a clue.
tyre pressures are generally on a sticker on the drivers door pillar .. have you looked there ?
Have a look on Tyresafe.org, put in your van Axle weights and tyre size. In a majority of case the suggestion is 80psi rear and 60 to 70psi front but I find that hard so run 60 and 65/70 front to rear
Surely that can't be right. If above 3 m needs to be displayed in feet and inches no wonder we see so many hitting low bridges
Should be able to get through that with a motorhome, double decker buses went through regularly, although they did have somewhat pointy roofs.I do know our van measurements in metric, but really aught to have the dimensions in whatever the non metric is , Linear? Senior moment. Sat nav is set to the relevant mile/K and John's car can have digital display too
Most important is read the road signs, especially for low bridges, John never seems to notice them, did a 16 point turn in Beverley when he tried to go through the bar in our first motorhome
Height restriction was 0.5M less than motorhome height, due to shape of the bar doubt the van would have got through, brand new vehicle no way it was going to be risked
Perhaps he was checking the back of his sun visor...
How about using the Keep Right FUN aid that help all to use the correct side of the road when leaving a roundabout. The aid is really helpful for those that are unsure which is their right hand. But for those more experienced in europe roads the aid can be modified so that the keep right aid shows a list of speed conversations right in front of the driver without a problem with road vision at any time.its given me an idea to make one up with speed conversions aswell. i usually use the standard 80/50 90/60 100/70 - it was only after being flashed in the car this year that i thought i had better check what a more accurate conversion was - which turns out to be
80kmh = 50mph, 90kmh = 56.25, 100kmh = 62.5 mph, 110kmh = 68.75mph , 120kmh = 75mph and 130kmh = 81mph - thats using the simple rule of thumb of 8km equals 5 miles and not the actual calculation.
i think having it printed onto clear plastic and stuck on the windscreen might be a simple way?? She Who Must Shop has an expensive Cricut machine and could easily print one out for me ....
or am i overthinking it?
Tells you velocity but not trajectory.
Do you mean that it tells you how fast, but not where , you are going?
Yes, Sat Nav/App gives you both.
