Home Four wheelers oi-Punith Bharadwaj By Punith Bharadwaj Updated: Thursday, February 25, 2021, 12:12 [IST] The use of FASTag for four-wheelers have been made mandatory for toll collection on highways across the country. However, the new rule is causing some troubles for users at the toll plaza for various reasons. Chief among the reasons are the sensors used at the toll plaza, which sometimes malfunction creating a huge queue of vehicles at the toll plaza. This is solved by toll attendants using a manual scanner to complete transactions. This results in longer wait times for users at the toll booth. As a result, a report from TOI reveals that the government is working on a solution. The (NHAI) National Highway Authorities of India will draw a distinctive colour line at every lane of the toll booth.

Courtney expected to ‘step up’ in second Tickford season
The Boost Mobile boss has been a long-time backer of Courtney, but upped his support of the 2010 champion during a difficult 2020 campaign.

"We really didn't have a lot of chance to prepare [in 2020]," Adderton said. "I think JC's got a better chance this year. He knows the car.

Bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom Is Part 1934 Packard, Part Rare Tree
If a tree falls in the woods, will Rolls-Royce turn it into a picnic table? Jack Boyd Smith, Jr. is a billionaire. But unlike so many of his class, his tastes skew not purely toward extravagance but also to the stories behind extravagant things. Two such items are a 1934 Packard Twelve Coupe and a family heirloom – a rocking chair made of koa wood – which serve as the inspiration for the latest member of Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke collection : the Koa Wood Phantom Extended . Designed with input from Smith, this unique long-wheelbase Phantom wears Packard Blue paint, matched to the 1934 Twelve Coupe. Rolls-Royce formulated the shade after Smith, Jr. shipped a fender from his prized pre-war two-door to the Bespoke team in Goodwood. But getting the rich hue on the slab-sided Phantom wasn’t as easy as filling the painting robots at the factory and letting em’ rip. Rolls-Royce went through 40 separate test surfaces before finding a paint formula that … [Read more...] about Bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom Is Part 1934 Packard, Part Rare Tree
