200 bhp with 99g/km co2 so free road tax as well on one of the engines
I think there is a hybrid version too

Is the 200bhp 99g/km not the hybrid?
I have an ability to memorise a map and route. It is very helpful!
I also never forget how to get anywhere i have ever been. It is mental and Rainmanalike!
I'm blessed with a good sense of direction for a woman. And i know how to read a map, my car has built in sat-nav, but to be honest the bloody woman drives me batty, so leave it switched off now.
I live in a village with a very narrow canal bridge, and the amount of artics that have found themselves directed that way have been quite high. Most of the drivers had the ability to see that their vehicle wouldn't get through, while a few have completely wedged themselves in....quite a spectacle to see!!
In my opinion, if you can't drive and use a map to direct yourself around then you should really question wether you should be behind the wheel in the first place, crap-navs are for lazy people who blindly follow directions, and 9 times out of 10 when they follow a crap-nav they don't know where they are, where they been, or where there going!
In some cases the examiner will give you a series of directions to follow rather than just tell you to follow road signs for the indepedent driving. If this is the case then the examiner will also show you a diagram.apparently on the driving test now there is an independent driving bit, where you have to navigate to a set location with no instruction, just using sign posts etc.

Unless you attempted to join a motorway.You can't be failed on getting it wrong, though.
It would still be as a result of getting the direction wrong though.That would be a fail for a different reason.

If the examiner has to physically intervene to stop you going on the motorway then you could fail.The examiner would stop you before you managed to do that, and no, you wouldn't be failed on it.

So if you tried going on a motorway, would they intervene by taking hold of the wheel to prevent you breaking the law? I read a story once about someone that tried to join a motorway on a test and was stopped on a slip road and the examiner just to them they had failed and left them there.You can be failed on the consequences of going the wrong way, but not for the actual going the wrong way part.

It is not, I do not make up stories. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/weeping-learner-driver-left-on-slip-road-1117681.htmlAnother one of your vivid imagination stories!
Out of curiosity, Zoe, how many driving tests have you taken/passed in the last few years?
(Though I still very much doubt you actually have a driving licence, considering the way you basically parrot the highway code but seem to have no actual driving knowledge).
By introducing indepdent driving to the test it shows you can drive indepently without having to rely on a sat-nav to tell you there is a junction ahead.
Going to actually answer?
Or will you do your usual of either ignoring it or saying it's irrelevant?
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/DG_188282If you believe that's what it's for, then you don't understand the point of the independent drive.
It's quite clear it's about making your own decisions, not just following directions you are told regardless of if you are told by an examiner or a sat-nav.At present, examiners give candidates step-by-step instructions during the test. For other parts of the test, this will still be true. But during the independent driving section of the test, the examiner will ask you to drive by either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both.
To help you understand where you’re going, the examiner may show you a diagram. It doesn't matter if you don't remember every direction, or if you go the wrong way - that can happen to the most experienced drivers. Independent driving is not a test of your orientation and navigation skills.
Driving independently means making your own decisions - this includes deciding when it’s safe and appropriate to ask for confirmation about where you’re going.
