You press the brake pedal. Your tyres have to do the rest.

They provide the vital contact with the road that allows your vehicle to brake, which makes their condition particularly important as October brings wetter roads.

Check them regularly and don’t wait until you need to stop suddenly to find out they weren’t ready for the job.

❗ATTENTION ALL LEARNERS ❗

From 1 October ( This Thursday ), the process for how learner drivers can swap their driving test is changing ✅️

The change will remove the need for learners to coordinate their availability and will make the process smoother and less stressful🤞♻️

What's changing:

To request a swap, the first learner driver will still need to call DVSA.

The second learner will then need to call DVSA on the same working day to confirm they're happy with the swap.

The swap can only process the swap if both learners call DVSA on the same working day.

Previously, both learners needed to be available at the same time to make the swap.

Please share to make sure all pupils are aware of this change.

From the DVSA.

Planning on having a few this weekend? 🍻🍷

If you’re drinking, don’t get behind the wheel. And remember, you could still be over the limit the morning after.

Give your body enough time to process the alcohol before driving. Being over the drink-drive limit could mean:
⚠️ a criminal record
⚠️ a driving ban
⚠️ an unlimited fine
⚠️ up to six months in prison

But the consequences can be far more serious than a fine or losing your licence.

Driving while impaired puts you, your passengers and everyone else on the road at risk.

If you’re drinking, leave the car at home.
