If you’re interested in learning to drive a manual car, there are reductions for block-bookings of 6 hours, but only for a limited time.

Why is speeding so controversial for some drivers?

Many drivers see themselves as "better than average" drivers and therefore believe the risks of speeding apply to others and not to them. As a result, discussions about speeding often become debates about values and beliefs and not about road safety evidence.

Speeding is controversial because some drivers often judge risk based on their own perceived driving skills and experience, while road safety policy is based on evidence showing that even small reductions in speed can reduce the number and severity of collisions across an entire community.

Drivers don't deliberately set out to be unsafe, by working together we can make our roads safer.

Driver’s tend to think they can stop in that gap. Unfortunately, they realise - when it’s too late - that it is NOT sufficient! And even if you are well back, what’s the harm in dropping a bit further back? There is no advantage to you, or the person in front.

Well done to Charlie for a well deserved test pass this morning, in very frosty conditions too, at Rugby Driving Test Centre.

I’m not sure how this, along with several other incorrect procedures, managed to gain such a massive following! Just take a glance through the Highway Code to remind yourself of the rules, or find out what they actually are, instead of following others - it’s not that complicated!

Yesterday Officers from A Unit OPU sighted a driver on the M6 Northbound in lane 2 (middle lane in this instance) driving at between 55 - 60mph with no slower moving traffic or obstructions in lane 1.

Officers took this driver off the motorway and ticketed him for driving without showing reasonable consideration for other road users - it is likely that he will receive a driver improvement course, for which the driver will have to pay.

Officers are seeing more and more people driving in this way, seemingly unaware of the dangers it poses.

Other road users will assume that by being in an overtaking lane, they will be doing the speed limit for that road and vehicle, and will approach accordingly and have to unnecessarily use the lanes to the right to overtake.

Whilst the speed limit is exactly that, a limit and not a target nor a minimum, it is a poor standard of driving to sit in an overtaking lane doing well below that limit when there is no slower moving traffic to the left, or other obstructions.

Unless overtaking or avoiding hazards, please keep to the left or you risk up to 3 points on your driving licence and a £100.00 fine.

It’s disgusting that people STILL think they can drive and pay no attention to what’s going on around them!

Never be happy with just a quick glance!

If you’re not CERTAIN, don’t drive!

Some people who wouldn't dream of drink driving, don't understand the risks that come from even one drink within the legal limit. Even small amounts of alcohol impair driving, including reaction times, coordination, vision and how you judge speed and distance. After drinking alcohol, drivers are more inclined to take risks and believe they are in control when they are not.

Many drink drivers are caught ‘over the limit’ the day after drinking. So many factors influence the amount of time it takes for alcohol to leave your system, including gender, food, hydration and tiredness.

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend whilst ensuring that everyone gets home safely.
