Advanced Driving Hub

Perhaps, instead of asking about the real or perceived benefits of advanced techniques, and whether they should be rolled into the standard test, you might be explicit in stating your views on that question And if any of the above doesn't answer sufficiently, I'm happy to clarify specific points, i...

I think it's rather more interesting to consider the consequences of making the driving test more difficult Well, more 'fail' certificates would be one likely outcome. However, if another outcome is safer new drivers, might that be an acceptable trade-off? Perhaps another avenue that I'd hope is be...

Nearest we've got to concerns is to buy one of the Faraday pouches and store the fob away from the door.

the judicial system does not come down hard enough on car thieves. I suspect that's because of "green" nonsense and sentencing guidelines. Guidelines, very likely, see: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/theft-general/ Green nonsense, though, how would th...
