Follow the advice from Roadcraft for better driving. The Roadcraft system of car control is simple, but highly effective and been in use since 1937.
RIGHT PLACE
RIGHT TIME
RIGHT SPEED
RIGHT GEAR.

Also, unlike the instructor in the car in the picture, DON'T be 4 times the drink driving limit - only drive when sober.

Cheers and keep safe.

Changes in the rules as to how you can book your driving test. These changes are to take control of the booking system and stop the chaos that we now have.

The rules for booking and managing car driving tests will change from spring 2026. Find out what the changes are and how they affect you.

Hi guys, something worth discussing with your friends, or family.

So often you'll be rear-ended, and when you look it seems like nothing worth bothering about. The other driver will offer to pay, rather than going through the insurance.

I knew someone this happened to years ago, and it went wrong big time. The damage, when it went to the garage, was extensive and the other driver refused to pay.

The cost of repairs to mine came as a shock, it came to just over £4,500. Excluding the cost of a courtesy car and time off work.

Moral of the story, never assume, always have it checked.

Cheers.

A fabulous result for Izzy yesterday in Hastings on passing her test.
I had to tell her that the car had been rear-ended an hour before I picked her up and the rear reversing aids were useless. It would be necessary for her to switch off the audible alarm when selecting reverse to stop the whining sound. Izzy handled it like a true professional and just took it in her stride.

A truly impressive performance, and one very proud instructor.

Well done mate and huge big congratulations 🎊 from me.

Keep safe and enjoy all your future road trips, wherever they may take you.

As you know from your lessons, I recommend that we should change the tyres when the tread is reduced to 3.0mm and not down to the legal 1.6mm, which I consider to be far too low and not giving good enough grip on the road.

As the weather is now moving from Summer to Autumn and we have already seen the change in the weather this last week. Here is a reminder of why I recommend the 3.0mm minimum tread depth, not the 1.6mm legal minimum.

Tyres with a 1.6mm tread depth require a significantly longer stopping distance at 70 mph compared to tyres with 3.0mm tread depth, taking approximately 44 metres (or ~9 car lengths) longer to stop in wet conditions. This difference highlights a considerable reduction in grip and safety at the legal minimum tread depth, with some tests showing the car with 1.6mm tread was still travelling at around 50 mph when the one with 3mm tread had stopped.

Cheers and keep safe.
Don
