As a first rule slipping gear / jerking in any car, change the gear oil and gear oil filter IMMEDIATELY. You can still save the gearbox, if ignored for long and this jerking become very obvious then gear rebuild is the only option, I'm afraid.

If door open from outside but not from inside then you have to check if child lock is on accidentally. If both ways are locked check the setting around driver for locking the rear door only, if no settings then door lock must have stuck or gone bad. In both ways you need some professional help to open the door and once it's open spray generous amount of WD40 to loosen the door locking mechanism (if its stuck). If still same problem you have to change that door lock.

This is probably the best solution I have ever seen to deal with tailgater who constantly dip the light until you move. Dip the light now you bitch, and face the creepy 4 bitches on my back.

I hardly get tailgated or flashed, I guess one of the advantages of driving a vehicle with some "street cred" and image. But when I do, I just flip on my rear fog lamps or sometimes I indicate right and the do the most slowest lane change im the history of the world, which annoys them even more! LOL In most cases I just ignore the fool. Then then undertake me, and when some one slows down next to me, as if looking for trouble, one " you wanna get some of this" look is enough for them buzz past me

In my opinion, it's never ok to use the hard shoulder for driving. It's for broken down cars only and anyone driving on it to save a few minutes on a journey is extremely selfish.

There is no gray area, you cannot use the hard shoulder to drive on in any occasion, just like you cannot jump the red light in any circumstance. It's a very black and white matter.
