Advanced Driving Hub

Phew - well done for attending court and undergoing questioning. I've never been to court but I'm sure it's a very concerning and worrying time. It's good you are pleased with the process as well. So what can you learn from the collision itself and when are you going to do your advanced test? The m...

So, the case was heard at Liverpool Family and Civil court yesterday, 10:30 start and didn't wrap up until aboyt 5:30! Bloody long day but I felt it was a very good result. My barrister absolutely tore the taxi driver's case to pieces whilst questioning him and threw doubt on all elements of the cla...

Thanks for being so honest. Driving is a continual learning process. Hope you get a good BSc result and good luck with your teaching career...keep us posted! Well, no point lying about these things, I have an awful memory and I'd be bound to catch myself out :lol: It's easier to just be honest and ...

There was an update of sorts a month or so ago. My solicitor emailed me a court date, 5th of June. The solicitors hope it won't go to court, but I've yet to hear anything otherwise. I apologise for my lengthy lack of presence on these forums, life has been very chaotic, and unfortunately I became ye...

I can only recall one junction I've come across like this, here . I may have come across others but never commited the layout to memory due to not coming across them that often. Here's another. https://goo.gl/maps/N21hTTWoL972 I think you'll find you've come across plenty. It is fairly common at a ...

I have no idea when I would be expected to click on those tests. Ideally it should be when you start to plan to do something about it, not when it all starts to go wrong. I'm sure I'd fail miserably as I did when I tried the practice ones available online (clicking too early). Amusingly, when I was...

Right of way is not really a thing in our traffic laws, it is more normally phrased as priority, which does tie in with your understanding of ‘first dibs’ for whoever arrives first... However if both are there at an identical time then car A is disrupting the flow of traffic so I would expect car B...

Came across this on my facebook feed.



Who goes first? I always presumed it was a case of "first come, first served", but if two cars arrived at the same time, who has right of way?

Nope! Still ongoing! The passenger is now claiming the taxi driver hit a post AFTER I hit him, when he was moving the taxi off the road. This would be a significant point in my favour regarding the damage to the front bumper, so my solictors are making enquiries about that. So far, it seems like I'l...

Must be easy enough to get a camera that can measure the gap and fine appropriately. I think the problem with this is that if you get cut up by someone just as you're going through one of these enforcement cameras, then you could get fined for tailgating because of one brief moment where you were a...
