The Pure Highway saved my life

Advantages: Very Portable and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Suffers from poor signal in some remote areas

...I use the Pure Highway every day in my truck and I have to say it is brilliant. It tunes into a spare FM band on my in cab radio and sounds first class. It is so easy to use and looks great as well. The Pure Highway fits into a small space on my windscreen out of the wiper swipe and keeps me legal. The Highway takes its power from the cigarette lighter and has an internal Arial that is fixed to the windscreen. I found this system ok for most journeys but when I was in more remote parts of the country I suffered from digital drop out. The pure allows you to fade this rather than here that awful screeching sound. I eventually purchased an outside Arial that fits on the cab roof via a magnetic base. This allows me 100% coverage all over the UK so far. I rely on my Pure Highway every day and I have to say it has never let me down...

Tripping down California's Highway 1

Advantages: Mentions places of interest which you might otherwise miss, cheap too.
Disadvantages: Written in 2003/2004 so some prices / information might be slightly outdated

...In June 2007 my husband and I took a fly drive holiday to California. Being the kind of person who?s almost anal in their preparation for any holiday, I started scouting around for books to take with us months beforehand. This was one that I bought, I think from Waterstones, who had the best selection of travel books I could find. With only 64 pages, (three of which are the index) it?s not as bulky as the usual Lonely Planet guidebooks, but it?s specifically aimed at those driving down (or up) what is supposedly one of the most beautiful drives in the world - the wonderful Highway 1 in California. The most northerly town this covers is Fort Bragg, about halfway between San Francisco and the Redwood national Park to the north. The most southerly is Laguna Beach in Greater Los Angeles. There?s a small paragraph describing each...

Review of California Highway 1 (Lonely Planet Road Trip) - Paige Penland

Know Your Highway Code!

Advantages: Helps with good driving
Disadvantages: Not many seem to take notice

...I recently signed up on a college course to train to become an Advanced Driving Instructor at which point I was handed several books to take away for plenty of home study. One of these books I remembered from when I was learning to drive which was 'The Highway Code' This official government publication covers the rules for all road users which includes pedestrians, horse riders, cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers of all kinds of vehicles, which makes 'The Highway Code' essential reading for everybody and not just those who are about to start learning to drive. I received my copy of 'The Highway Code' as part of the fees which I am paying for the course but if you are looking to buy a copy the cover price is only £1.99. The book is available from the Driving Standards Agency website which I will give a note of below or from most...

THE HIGHWAY BORE.

Advantages: LEARN ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
Disadvantages: YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP READING THE FIRST FEW PAGES

...***NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN*** ************************************ Everyone comes to an age when they say to themselves "I need to learn to drive". There may be the influence of job prospects or it might just be a case of wanting to be able to get to all of those places you could never get to by local transport . I'm getting to that age when I say to myself why don't you already know how to drive ? but the truth is I'm a tight arse and I hate spending money but not just that. I was always worried about how long it would take me to pass, as I've known people to still take lessons for well over a year before they become confident with driving. ***ABOUT THE HIGHWAY CODE*** *************************************** The highway code is a small book around A5 in size and tells you all the rules and regulations for pedestrians cyclists...

Come visit sunny hells highway

Advantages: tactical twist on WW2 fps, good graphics, immersive
Disadvantages: your american :(

...Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway (PC) I know what a lot of you might be thinking "oh no, not another WW2 shooter" but Brothers in Arms is different. Not just different but better. I mean, sure, its about Americans and I'd prefer to be fighting as British, but what can you do? The first thing to mention is BIA:HH is the third game in a Trilogy. But more than that, its part of History. The game designers have put a lot of effort into making sure they portray the events accurately. So, you follow (and play) Sergeant Matt Baker of the 502nd Airborne. We've seen him before in the older games and we are now reminded of it with a quick flash back. The first striking thing here is the graphics. Sure, my high-end graphics card might help, but I'm pretty sure it would look sweet on any machine (that meets the spec). The game...

Review of Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway (PC)

My way is the Highway!

Advantages: You will learn how to drive safely
Disadvantages: The rules are not put into use on the road!

...I am currently learning how to drive the wonderful roads of London. Upon taking my first lesson, my instructor advised that I start reading and learning the highway code as not only would I need to know the book inside out for the theory test, I would need to understand it for every aspect of driving. Indeed, the Highway Code is essential reading for all road users, not just new drivers. The Highway Code is the official government guidance on the correct procedures you need to follow if using the road in the UK. I have the revised 2004 edition, which I purchased from Waterstones for £1.99. It is in a concise 100-page format, featuring up-to-date advice on road safety, also allowing for easy reading of the laws to which all users must conform. *** Sections *** The book is divided into different sections making it easier...

Hell's Highway!?...Wait for World at War!

Advantages: great cover system, controlling A.I. squads is a real treat
Disadvantages: terrible multiplayer, poor graphics at times for Xbox 360

...Personally, games that involve using your brain interest me much more than using holding a button down and splattering everything that comes towards you. Games such as Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon are games that I love to play because of the tactical factor that they involved. I especially loved Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30, therefore when I finally got my hands on Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway; I was drooling at the mouth ready to play. Like its predecessors, Hells Highway shows the horrific times of American soldiers during the Second World War however, a problem I had when first playing the game was that unlike where the other games made me care about my teammates, Hells Highway doesn't. This is mainly because if, in mid-battled, one of them gets shot dead or blown up or whatever, I would see them at the next checkpoint. You...

My way is the Highway

Advantages: Fantastic scenery, open road
Disadvantages: So much to see, so little time

...If you are ever so lucky as to be in California then you must drive the Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Monterey (or vice versa). I have just come back from a great holiday in the US and felt that I had to tell you about what can only be described as some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen. We were driving from LA, North to San Francisco and had been told not to miss Highway 1. Great advice indeed! There is so much to see along this route. Sandy beaches, hills rising so high above that the mist covers the top of them, jagged cliffs, forestry and more. San Luis Obispo This town is located at the bottom end of the highway. It?s a beautiful place to visit. It is a market town and has some great little gift shops and excellent restaurants. Plus, if you can afford to splash out a little on a hotel then The Madonna Inn...
