members say:
- “Reliable cars there when I need them.”
- “For someone who does not own a car it is very useful to have access to
a car at any time for short periods.”

Milngavie Classic Car Show
Saturday 17 June 10am-4pm, Milngavie Town Centre, G62 6BJ,
We are delighted to host the 3rd Car Show in Milngavie Town Centre. We
are expecting to fill precinct with almost 100 classic, vintage, veterans and
supercars this year!
We teamed up with the British Transport Police and local community groups
to make this event even more interesting!
We will have a number of kid’s attractions from face-painting to balloon
twisting on the day. We also thought about adults as we will have safety
demonstrations and free bicycle marking organised by local police! Not to
mention about delicious food providers and market stalls at the event!
For all car owners interested in participating at this year event please go to

Motoring Laws You Have No
Idea You’re Breaking
The chances are that you’ve broken one or more of these laws without ever
having realised it was illegal to do so. To avoid the risk of fines or worse,
read our list here.
Some of these are obscure, some not so obscure, but all of them are
offences that a majority of motorists have absolutely no idea that they’re
committing. Before you put yourself at risk of fines or worse, read through
our list, courtesy of Saga Magazine, and see how many you didn’t even
know you were breaking.
1. Using your fog lights wrong
Technically, you should only
switch your car’s rear fog lights
on when visibility is “seriously
reduced”, which is usually taken
to mean when your visibility
ahead is reduced to less than 100
metres.
Believe it or not, drivers who
switch their fog lights on for any old sprinkling of light mist or if it starts
to rain heavily are actually committing an offence and running the risk of
getting fined.
2. Not stopping at stop signs
It’s common when you’re
preparing for your driving test that
your instructor will insist that you
always come to a complete halt
at stop signs, otherwise you’ll fail
your test.
However, it’s not just your driving
examiner you’ll risk getting in hot
water with if you fail to stop completely. Given that stop junctions are an
instruction to stop completely, if you don’t fully stop at the sign, even if the
road is clear, you run the risk of being given three points on your licence.
We’ll be running an article each month highlighting some of these.
