Speaking of shunts, the safety supremos at IAM RoadSmart have just drawn up a revised list of the top reasons for driving up the exhaust of the car in front. Yes, we know, it’s all very boring being lectured by health and safety experts, but maybe their points should be taken on board – and you might be saving more than dented pride. They are: smoking and vaping, staring at your sat nav, snacking, playing loud music and twiddling with your knobs (in all senses). Just stop it now, okay?
In other news, Subaru is celebrating a sales surge of 5.5% so far this year, which we applaud as a driving future without Subarus is like Ant without Dec.
Finally, here’s your summer holidays sorted: Jaguar Land Rover is trumpeting a three-year partnership at the state-of-the-art interactive experience, 007 Elements.

Visitorsplunge into the world Mr Bond in the new mountain-top location next to the ice Q restaurant (which was the Hoffler Klinik in Spectre). The experience opens this July and displays JLR technical content along with those Bond extras we love: the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover Sport SVR.
