Swindon is one of the key locations for an innovative car ride-sharing scheme set up by Wiltshire County Council; it has over 300,000 registered members. The town has a large roundabout called Magic Roundabout, with five mini-roundabouts and a contra-rotational hub at its centre. As daunting as this sounds, there have been only 17 major accidents on Magic Roundabout since it opened in 1972. Swindon is a transport hub with two junctions on the M4 motorway and an extensive public transport network.

Diesel particulate filters are crucial because they capture and store exhaust soot to help reduce your car's emissions. Since 2009, all diesel cars have been required to have a DPF.

Passive regeneration is the primary way of keeping a DPF filter clean. It happens when the exhaust reaches a high temperature, typically while on a motorway. However, many cars don't reach this stage often enough, making the DPF clogged.
