Thanks Slaphead, obviously you are right (and it is very sensible to it point out) I should not speed. I'll give it a try. "A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience."

By the way AbFab, the Ciggy lighter does charge the squawker, but it was being used to power my blackberry at the time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to read and answer my emails whilst driving. Then where would I be?
