London to Bedfordshire is not a "long" journey. *And briefing the driver
to stop on a motorway is tantamount to inciting a criminal offence. *A
vehicle that is not able to drive from London to Luton on a motorway
should not be allowed on a motorway at all.

One wonders what the non-stop range is on a hot day with a full load and
the air conditioning at full stretch.


Er, what air conditioning?
