Yes of course it's anecdotal but I did start my post by saying I dont have official statistics, but I do do high mileage and see a lot. To date I've driven around 930,000 miles or so (based on the buy/sell mileages of cars I've owned). Where do I see most accidents - specifically 4 areas. Lane 2/3 w...

Yes I understand and I get that, and Ive no idea of the official statistics, but I sometimes drive 50k miles in a year, and I rarely see anyone indicate on a joining slip, but equally I rarely see accidents where the joining slip meets lane 1, so it appears to me on the face of it that signalling/no...

If it isn't, and they're paying extra for the service, then I think then that would probably be classed as private hire. It's a similar situation ...

Well that's what Im wondering .....

I did see that thank you but it raised more questions than answers ..... Let me add some more info which may (or may not!) help. Ive been approached by the owners of the local restaurant there asking if I would pick up their customers from local b&b's (there are no hotels) take them to the resta...

Im looking to move to the Inner Hebrides. I will be undertaking tourism related work across a number of areas (b&b etc). There is an option to do some paid driving work and also unpaid/voluntary driving (community minibus). My question is, do I need any special licence/certificates for the follo...
