This is happening to mine too - nightmare! There are no reports on the fault log on the computer (after having this checked at the garage) so its difficult to pinpoint the cause. Some days its fine and I can drive 300miles other days I get 5miles down the road and it just cuts-out. I find that if I wait 5-10 seconds before trying to restart its normally ok. Very dangerous though - as its more common when I am slowing down or speeding up - e.g. at junctions. The RAC guy recons it is a corroded contact on a lead somewhere causing a poor connection as the engine moves on accelerating. Plausable but I have filed-down the contacts but no change. I have replaced the elderly battery - but this hasn't fixed it. I notice that in other post on this site someone reports that the distributor was to balem in their car with a similar fault. It may come to this!

Why is Vauxhall car names ending in letter a?
maby they like that letter and i was asking myself about that conspiracy for a while now Before 1991 (ish) Vauxhall and Opel models were the same but had different names (Astra = Kadett, Cavalier = Ascona/Vectra and Nova = Corsa) Vauxhall and Opel decided to set a standard for naming their cars and I think they just took a marketing choice to make them all ending with 'A'

Keep cutting off while you are Driving?
This isn't a complete question but what I think you're asking is what happens if you cut off people while you drive. The answer to that is you might get reported to law enforcement, and go to jail for driving negligently.
