A message from a fellow instructor. Such a devastating story and taken so young 💔.

Courage from the parents to share this to try to stop another family experiencing the pain they are going through.

Please - know your limits and rest when you need to.

💔 Another devastating message in from a parent who has found the courage to share their grief in the hope of educating others.

Please, if you choose to comment, be mindful and kind. 🕊️

Jake Larmour, forever 18.

Jake had been celebrating his 18th birthday with his family in June.
He was full of ambition, fitness, and discipline preparing to join the army that September.

He never drank.
He never took drugs.
He simply loved adventure and wanted to achieve his dream of climbing Ben Nevis with his friend.

The two friends made it to the top and completed their climb in record time.
Jake texted his mum after proud, cold, wet, and ready to come home to share the story.

But what his family didn’t know was that neither boy had slept.

They had driven from Birmingham to Scotland, climbed the mountain, and started driving home through the night.

The car’s heater was turned on to warm up.
Both boys fell asleep.
The car collided head-on with a bus at 57mph.
Jake took the full impact.
He fought for five days in critical care but tragically lost his life.
Miraculously the driver also just 18, survived

Jake’s family are now speaking out not in anger, but in heartbreak.
They want others to understand that fatigue kills.

Falling asleep at the wheel is as deadly as drink or drug driving.
Exhaustion is silent and it only takes a second.

💔 Jake should still be here.
💔 His family should never have had to experience this pain.

If his story can stop one person from driving tired, then his legacy lives on.

Please drive with awareness.
Please rest when you need to.
Please, show compassion when reading stories like this.
They are shared through unimaginable strength and love. 💔

💤 Fatigue doesn’t warn you before it takes over it just takes everything.
Don’t drive tired.
Your focus fades, your reactions slow, and your body shuts down before you even realise.
Pull over.
Rest.
Live. 🙏🏾

Thank you to the parents for sending your story if it helps anyone it has served its purpose 💔

🚒🚔🚑 EMERGENCY VEHICLES 🚑🚔🚒

Seeing blue lights can be stressful for any driver, but remember:

💙 STAY CALM.
💙 DON’T PANIC.
💙 DON’T BREAK THE LAW.

✅ WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

👀 Check in front and your mirrors to establish where the emergency vehicle is coming from.

🤔 Consider whether you actually need to slow down or pull over. For example, on a dual carriageway, the emergency vehicle may be using the clear lane.

➡️ If necessary, signal clearly and pull over when it’s safe, ensuring there is sufficient space - and visibility - for the emergency vehicle to pass safely.

🚗 Stay calm, maintain control and remain predictable.

✔️ Make space when it’s safe and legal to do so.

❌ Sometimes you simply cannot move safely — for example, when stopped at a red light, on a roundabout or in congested traffic.

🚦 SIREN GOES OFF, BLUE LIGHTS STILL ON?
Don’t assume you need to move. The emergency vehicle driver may have decided it is not safe or legal for you to do so - such as when you are stopped at a red light. Maintain your position until it is safe and legal to give way.

🔊 SIREN BACK ON?
Be prepared to give way as soon as it’s safe and legal — for example, when the lights turn green and you can move out of the way safely.

❌ NEVER:
🚦 Drive through a red light.
🚶 Mount the pavement.
⚠️ Put pedestrians, cyclists or other road users at risk.

Remember, emergency vehicle drivers are trained to assess traffic and anticipate what other drivers will do. They would rather wait a few seconds than risk a collision caused by panic.

💙 Your job isn’t to get out of the way at any cost. It is to give way safely and legally.

Alistair took his test in his own car as I was away on holiday when an earlier test date became available. As a very competent driver, we knew he could complete the test driving any car 🙂.

There was never any doubt that Alistair had the ability to Pass as he continually proves himself to be a courteous, safe and confident driver.

A huge thank you to Mum and Dad for their initial coaching and for continuing to do a superb job polishing his skills to the high standard which we know Alistair will maintain throughout all his future driving adventures.
