  more of like, frequently doing big steers at 0km/h may cause such defects [end up when the steering springs back to its neutral position, the wheel looks slanted]; due to the steering force vs the tyre friction on the ground. either re-aligning the front axle or the steering wheel itself may sovle the problem.

  Pardon me... but I have a couple of questions that I am curious to know.

  1) What are the fonts used in printing the old and new current destos? (I think this qn was asked before but I too lazy to look thru so many pages...)

  2) We heard about cameras that are installed in some buses to catch those motorists hogging the bus lanes during restricted hours. Anybody took pictures of those or know exactly where they are installed?
