Question One: Hazard Lights

This is supposed to happen to alert the car behind that you are braking very hard and they should brake too.

I do this on the motorway if I have to brake hard and many others do also... I also use this is I have stopped or going dangerously slow due to traffic to alert the car approaching.

Question Two: Wheel Spinning

There is a nack of how much power to put on and how quickly to pull the cluch out. This all depends on road conditions.

In the summer the roads are warm and this makes them sticky for the low profile tyres to grip and bite.

In the winter the roads are cold and wet and traction for tyres is hard.

In order to get off the lights quickly you need to start off at around 2,500k of revs and then start pulling the clutch out sharpish whilst PLANTING your foot... you will need to do this in 2nd year also with the clutch to avoid wheel spin and to get maximim traction... but obviously you will be around 4k in revs if you are giving it some beans!!!

You should come along to one of our meets and i'll teach you how.

Question Three: Reverse Gear

This is an issue with most cars as the box has to reverse the drive. I have the same problem and i know many others do too. If you can't get it into gear... pump the clutch 3 times, fully up and down quickly... then try again... keep going this until it goes in... it will do.

If it crunches a little or makes a bit of a bang then don't worry, reverse is just difficult for the box to get into.

I hope this helps.
