Advanced Driving Hub

Maybe not which is why the Police rules exist but as advanced drivers shouldn't we have the ability to move safely rather than reacting without thinking?

This is the problem with 'nerdy' advanced drivers learning rules, believing they know better, and being self-righteous in the face of common sense decision making. Police rules are none of our business. A Police officer clearly indicating to you to move out of his way is obviously an instruction (as...

He, like me and many others, has clear concerns about motorists being prosecuted and the councils general approach to the defence about assisting emergency vehicles. You do him a disservice by misrepresenting what he's said. Your situation is different. You were instructed by a Police officer to ge...

If Porsche or the like offers free driving instruction to purchasers of their cars - and only purchasers of their cars - who hold a full licence and in order to assist them in driving a high-performance car is that paid-for instruction that requires the giver of the instruction to be registered notw...

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 foll...

What is your view in on the loss of sovereignty under NATO membership? We haven't lost sovereignty. NATO does not control the UK armed forces unless they are operating as part of a NATO operation.
