Personalised vehicles?

In a bid to set a world record for the most useless vehicle-related product ever, a firm has developed what it calls the Carstache. Designed as an item of fake facial hair to attach to the front of a car or truck, this novelty device is intended to appeal to male motorists who presumably have more money than sense. The utterly pointless product allows an owner to personalise a vehicle according to the company's founder. The Carstache is available in a range of colours including black, brown, orange and pink

Other useless products already available from the same firm on which car owners can needlessly waste their money include CarLashes. These are fake eyelashes that can be attached to the headlights of cars and trucks and intended to appeal to female vehicle owners. According to the firm, these novelty products are said to be humorous.

    A methane-powered bus has set a speed record for a regular city bus of nearly 124km/h at a test track in the UK, according to media reports. The bus, from the southern city of Reading, was converted to run on compressed methane from cow manure and was painted black and white like a Friesian cow. Mechanics removed the bus’s engine governor that restricted the vehicle’s speed to 90km/h. The bus then broke the record on the banked high-speed circuit at Millbrook Proving Ground, near the city of Bedford.

    British men are 6.4% more likely than British women to pass their practical driving test, according to road safety charity the IAM. But while young men are more likely to pass their driving test, they are also three times more likely to be killed or seriously injured (KSI) behind the wheel.
