I'm not a member anymore, for many reason so this is just another nail as far as I', concerned.

What casued them to bring this up anyway? are they that desperate for attention.

Whatever happened to an enggineer's report on a modyfied car? if you tell your insewerance company and they are happy to insure the risk then who's getting hurt?


Green flag anyone?

landy_bug:
i have just two words to discribe anything and everything to do with this country NANNY STATE!
next it will be illegal to fart!

andygod:
I must say I agree with the AA on this one. I think the point they’re trying to make is that a young and relatively inexperienced driver can fit a nitro kit to a car and drive at high speeds having very little motoring experience. The car will also be doing higher speeds than it was designed for having an effect on brakes and tyres to name just two things. Have you ever seen these idiots racing around our streets late at night with there go faster exhausts and hissing dump valves. I can't see why anybody wants them to be able to go even faster. I am not against experienced drivers fitting nitro kits for track use etc but the motorway or indeed Asda car park aren’t racetracks.

Two words: Carbon emissions!  :lol:

I love this myth that persists that you are a "member" of the AA - you're a policy holder, same as you are with any other insurance company.

clbarclay:
It would be interewsting to see what the AA actually said. By the sounds of it they were only refering to vehicles with significant power increases.

Cars a plenty fast enough to kill people as it is. The modefications are't the root cause of the problem, but they are easier to legislat than driver atitude.

A nitros setup capable of doubling the power on it own :lol: Agian there is probably a lot more to it than what was reported.
