The oldest motor race in the UK, Brighton Speed Trials, happens each year along Madeira Drive, and thousands of spectators flock to the city to watch cars and motorcycles take on the quarter-mile sprint. If you need somewhere to park, the largest car parks are on King Street, London Road and Churchill Square. Alternatively, Brighton's buses are run by The Brighton & Hove Bus Company, and the city has roughly 1,363 bus stops.
A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is in operation in Brighton. It was introduced in 2008 and covers most of Greater London, including some sections of the M1 and M4 but excluding the M25. The purpose of the LEZ is to discourage the most polluting diesel vehicles from driving in London. Unlike the ULEZ, which doesn't operate on Christmas Day, this zone is enforced all year round. How much you pay depends on your vehicle - it can be between £100-300. Find out more in this guide.
Driving in cities like Brighton puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Brighton for all these crucial components.
Since Brighton is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Brighton.
A car MOT is an annual inspection that ensures your vehicle meets acceptable safety and environmental standards. It is a legal requirement to book an MOT test every twelve months unless your car is under three years old.
An MOT consists of dozens of tests, including an emissions test, but it doesn't cover the condition of the clutch, engine or gearbox. The three most common reasons for and MOT failure are lighting/signalling, suspension and brakes.
At the end of the test, you will get an MOT certificate that says whether your car passed or failed. If it fails, you can only drive your car if your current certificate is still valid and the test didn't identify any "dangerous" problems. Otherwise, you must get your vehicle repaired immediately.
Finding an affordable car MOT centre with good reviews is essential because you never know whether your vehicle will require extra work after the test. Fortunately, you're in the right place.
