This Bank Holiday weekend, it is estimated that some 18 million leisure journeys will be undertaken, many of which will be on the motorway. For some, this may be the only time they venture on to our fastest roads, so some timely reminders may well be appropriate. ‘Hogging’ the middle lane of a motorway can be a major cause of unnecessary congestion.

The AA is predicting busy roads to popular leisure destinations as the long summer getaway officially begins. With Scottish and Northern Irish schools having broken up at the end of June and English and Welsh pupils are due to start their summer holidays over the next week. This staggered school holiday pattern means that traditional “getaway weekends” will be spread out.

Right then, let’s talk about the Hyundai Inster, a cheeky little A-segment electric car that’s just rolled onto the scene, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend a few days with it. Now, if you’re picturing some tiny, boring city runabout, think again. The Inster is like that mate who’s small in stature but packs a proper punch — all wrapped up in a smart, nippy package. First off, the size.

Lying awake in the wee small hours, I was musing on the many different types of driving I do and wondering why some appeal to me and some really don’t. As a motoring journalist, it has always felt as though I am supposed to like driving on a racetrack. I like speed, there’s no one coming the other way (one hopes), and usually the car provided is immensely capable.

I’ve never been a huge fan of American cars. Big, brash and of course the steering wheel is most definitely on the wrong side. Rewind to 2015 and I was invited to Aynho House in deepest Oxfordshire for the UK Media Launch of the very first right-hand drive Ford Mustang. An interesting venue and an intriguing car.

There’s a certain magic to the name 'Capri' for those of us who remember the original – that rakish coupe that turned heads in the 1970s and 80s, a proper working man’s GT with a whiff of rebellion. Now, Ford has dusted off the badge and plonked it on the back of a thoroughly modern, all-electric coupe-SUV. The Capri is not just a nod to nostalgia, but a bold stride into the future.

The XPENG G6 arrives as an interesting proposition in the competitive electric SUV market, blending cutting-edge technology, rapid charging, and a spacious design. While it may not yet be a household name in the UK, this Chinese EV manufacturer is making bold strides with the G6. Could it be a model that could tempt buyers away from established rivals like the Tesla Model Y?

The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross stands as a testament to the evolution of the pickup truck, blending rugged utility with modern touches. For those seeking a vehicle that can transition seamlessly from workhorse to lifestyle companion, the V-Cross makes a compelling case.

The AA has today [1 April] launched ‘bAAgsy’, a drone service that can find and reserve a parking space in busy car parks. Initially being rolled out to members, drivers who have downloaded The AA App, will be able to hail one of the fleet of AA drones to spot a vacant space in the car park they are searching in. Once a spot has been found it will reserve it for them by hovering over the bay.

This 3-pin plug to Type 2 EV charging cable offers a convenient way to charge your electric car from a standard household socket, eliminating the need for a dedicated charging point.
