Kevin McCandless Driver Training - On the Right Track

30/10/2026

The aim of Operation Insight is to raise awareness of the requirements, relevant to eyesight standards, in relation to driving a vehicle on our roads and ensure that pedestrians have information to take active steps to navigate our road network safely, during the dark winter nights and mornings.

Did you know that, under the terms of your DVLA drivers licence, you must be able to read a numbers plate at a distance of 20 metres, in good daylight, using glasses or contact lenses if you need them. If you have concerns, regarding the quality of your eyesight, please make an appointment to see an optician and seek guidance from the DVLA, if necessary.

Winter is upon us, which means darker morning and evenings. Our advice to pedestrians during this time is

🔦 Where bright clothing, BE BRIGHT BE SEEN
🚸 🚦 Cross the road at designated crossing points and only when safe to do so
🤚 Stop, 👀 look and 👂 listen

Our Roads Policing officers will continue to patrol our road network, engage with and educate drivers and carry our enforement, where necessary.

E-bikes are legal to use on public roads in Scotland however they must meet current regulations.

Your e-bike should not:
🔴 Be able to be propelled at more than 15.5mph by the motor. Have a continuous rated power output higher than 250 watts.
🔴 Have a propel function, like a twist and go handlebar.
🔴 If your e-bike has any of these functions, it is classed as a moped and must be registered and taxed.

You'll also be required to have a valid driver's licence, insurance and wear a motorcycle helmet when travelling.

Failure to do so may result in fines, your bike being seized by police, and points on
your licence, even if you don't have one yet.

🎉 Happy 50th Birthday to the man behind the business! 🚗
From helping countless learners pass their tests to being the ultimate girl dad, it's been quite a journey.
50 years young, still going strong, and still telling people to check their mirrors! 😆

Heard about driving test faults, but not sure what they mean? 🚗

There are 3 categories of faults you can make during your driving test:

A dangerous fault: this involves actual danger to you, the examiner, the public or property.

A serious fault: this is something potentially dangerous.

A driving fault: this is not potentially dangerous, but if you keep making the same fault, it could become a serious fault.

You’ll pass your driving test if you make no more than 15 driving faults and make zero serious or dangerous faults. ✅
