LEARNING TO DRIVE
TRUST THE PERSON SITTING BESIDE YOU

Learning to drive can sometimes feel overwhelming. There’s a lot to think about, plenty to remember and moments when you might question whether you’re getting anywhere.

But here’s something to remembering…

Trust your instructor.

Your instructor isn’t just there to help you pass your driving test. They’re there to help you become safe, confident and responsible.

A few things to think about:

🚘 Listen to the feedback. It’s not criticism; it’s guidance to help you improve.

🚘 Ask questions. If something doesn’t make sense, speak up. There’s no such thing as a silly question.

🚘 Trust the process. Some skills take longer than others. Progress isn’t always a straight line.

🚘 Be open and honest. If something worries you or you don’t feel confident, tell your instructor. That’s how lessons can be tailored to you.

🚘 Work together. Your instructor brings the experience and knowledge. You bring the effort, attitude and willingness to learn.

Remember, your instructor isn’t simply teaching you to operate a car. They’re helping you develop judgement, awareness and responsibility.

The goal isn’t just to pass your test. It’s to be ready for everything that comes after it.

A good instructor will guide you there. Trust them, communicate with them and give yourself time to learn.

The early nights are drawing in and trick-or-treaters are getting ready for the spookiest night of the year, which makes it the perfect moment for Ziggy's Halloween Wish.

Ziggy's wish this Halloween is simple: be bright and be seen! Wearing bright clothing and carrying a torch or reflective bag charm can make all the difference on a dark street. Remember to always hold hands with a grown-up.

Watching out for guisers dressed in black and full of sugar 👀👀

Halloween is nearly here. 👻🍬

If you're driving in the evening, keep an eye out for trick or treaters, particularly younger ones who might be excited, in costume, and not always looking before they cross.

Slow down in residential streets, use your lights and give yourself plenty of time to react.

“Every one of those figures represents someone who has avoided injury, or death, on our roads… and provide more evidence that the 20mph default speed limit is helping to make our roads safer,” Welsh deputy transport minister Mark Hooper said today

⏱️ 90 SECONDS TO SAVE A LIFE?

I drove through the new 20mph zone today. A 1.5-mile stretch took around 4 mins 30 secs at 20mph, compared with 3 mins at 30mph.

That’s just 90 seconds difference.

📊 The road-safety facts:

🔹 26.5% fewer crashes on average across 20mph schemes in a UK research review.

🔹 17% fewer casualties than expected from the existing trend following Edinburgh’s 20mph rollout.

🔹 Lower speeds mean shorter stopping distances and less severe impacts.

Driving is about more than controlling a car. It’s about our decisions, our attitude and the responsibility we have towards others.

90 seconds to your journey. A lifetime to someone else.

NEWS: Proposals to make Kirkcaldy streets safer

Councillors have backed plans to lower speed limits on a number of roads across Kirkcaldy to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

The Kirkcaldy Area Committee has agreed to promote a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) that would introduce new 20mph speed limits on a number of roads across the town, alongside a new 30mph speed limit on Dunnikier Way.

The proposals form part of Fife Council's 20mph Strategy, which adopted 20mph as the standard speed limit on suitable roads in line with Scottish Government guidance.

🍂🚗 AUTUMN DRIVING: BEWARE OF WET LEAVES!

A road covered in wet autumn leaves can be surprisingly slippery, almost like driving on ice in certain conditions.

Spot the change in the road surface 👀

A few things to remember:

🍂 Reduce your speed when approaching roads covered in leaves.

↔️ Leave extra space between you and the vehicle in front.

🛑 Brake and steer gently to reduce the risk of skidding.

👀 Watch for hidden hazards leaves can cover potholes, road markings and puddles.

🏍️ Take extra care around cyclists and motorcyclists, as wet leaves can be particularly dangerous for two-wheeled road users.

Remember, autumn brings changing road conditions, so adjust your driving to suit what’s in front of you.

Safe driving is about anticipating hazards before they become a problem. 🍂

Look out for your mates. Make sure they get home safely.

If they are drinking, don’t let them get behind the wheel.
