Re: Hello from West Sussex
I like the 'SVA' prompt for positioning: safety, view, advantage. If anywhere on the lane width is [relatively ] safe, then go for view. It sounds, from your description, that you have the priorities skewed. If you don't have sufficient view to get good early sight of those encroaching cars, the co...

They passed their Theory tests without any trouble and on my daughter's first lesson she was told that she should put in for her driving test. She had a few paid for lessons and passed her driving test on her first attempt. She got loads o...

Re: Hello from West Sussex
It sounds as though the local group membership Sec misunderstood you. Head office would not have that info. I suggest another clear conversation with the membership sec. Good news! I have contacted the membership secretary who has confirmed where Observers are based who are local to me. I have just...

Re: Hello from West Sussex
I contacted three different groups. Two of them have been extremely helpful and have places, but both have suggested I contact a group which is more local to me. There is currently a waiting list for the local group, and I haven't been able to find out where the nearest Observers are, in order to ma...

Re: Hello from West Sussex
I have been going round in circles with IAM.
I will try RoSPA.
