Advanced Driving Hub

No, it's nothing more than a simple message to Mr & Mrs Joe public urging them... "not to drive too close to the car in front when you're driving on the motorway at 70mph!" And, yes, they paint some chevrons on the road but that's just to give the drivers some sense of spatial awarene...

"Driving while using a phone is one of the ‘fatal four’ driving offences, along with speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and drink or drug driving, for a very good reason: it can devastate lives." Said the investigating officer. I believe those factors are responsible for only a small proport...

I see it exactly the same way as Silk.

To slow down? Why on earth? I thought for the vast majority speed choice on motorways was almost always about attitudes to the legal limit. These days it seems to be about fuel consumption.

This is a brief extract from an extensive set of requirements for what an Observer has to be able to do: 1. Assist the Associa...

If you read a little further (Appendix 5), you will find: Approved Tutors ...... My group only uses Gold grades and only one tutor is an ADI, and no money passes hands for tuition - free training is available for group members. 8-) Impressive stuff. So it is quite clear that Rospa ADAR make no pret...

...Does anyone know how this age information is used elsewhere? And how should it be used? My current Associate is younger than my children, does that make me an unsuitable Observer? In Bristol we offer a full refund to drivers under 25. Admirable - but nothing to do with allocation of a suitable c...
