What!! You mean there are people who do not have those basic things in there vehicle? Of course you are right, Rayner. I also like to keep a tool kit in my wife's car. As for my truck, well, it is a service truck.
I don't know anyone who has any of these things in their car. People just assume they'll be able to call whichever breakdown company they're with.
What the heck? Where'd they get a idea like that? Is the media that strong?Topic.
I had lessons about 3 years before I was formally diagnosed Aspie, after about 6 months the instructor basically turned round and said I'd never pass a test and he felt bad taking my money for lessons, this was in a manual car.
A few years later I applied to the DVLA for a P license, and got turned down, they said due to my disabilities I wouldn't be able to control a car safely, and because I'm Aspie and get mad easily, I'd be a candidate for "Road Rage" (WTF?!)
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm specifically asking UK members, but others can answer if they've also been turned down for similar reasons.
I still think I could have lessons in an Automatic vehicle, but I don't get high enough benefits for a "Motability" vehicle, which would be the only way I'd ever afford a car.

My performance vehicles always have a fire extinguisher mounted in them.I'm not sure if there is one designed specifically for car fires. the one in my truck is rated for Ordinary combustibles, Flammable liquids, and Electrical fires.
You know I was thinking about it. You might not be trying to be crafty in terms of speaking around people. People usually are like rivers, they want you to flow in their direction. They want you to think the way their brain processes information. Maybe if you start appealing to their humanity. Subliminally suggest that being all judgemental in below him. That he is in control but he should feel guilty pinning all us folk as bad. Etc. It is not an easy strategy I can explain as it is too flexible. Something you have to probe with wording.

I can go one way just fine, but it's the return trip I ALWAYS have to use GPS for, even to places I've been dozens of times. I can't see the path backwards for some reason and I can't memorize it as a different trip.Yes, but I require a GPS to get anywhere unfamiliar. I'm unable to navigate my way through unfamiliar places without a visual-spatial aid.
