Rural roads demand respect. 🌳

The scenery is beautiful and driving through the countryside is wonderful, but country lanes can catch drivers out.

Narrow carriageways, blind bends, no pavements, working farm vehicles, cyclists, horses with nowhere to pull in – they need a different kind of attention to a dual carriageway or a town centre.

A few things worth remembering:

✔️ Slow down. Speed limits are a maximum, not a target. On a narrow lane with a tractor around the next bend, that really matters.

✔️ Give way to large vehicles. Tractors, combine harvesters, livestock lorries – they're working. Be patient, leave plenty of space and never try to squeeze past if it isn't safe.

✔️ Watch for pedestrians, horses and cyclists. On rural roads there's often no pavement and no cycle lane. Always slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.

✔️ Respect the signs. Fords, steep gradients, hairpin bends – the signage exists because the hazard is real. If you're not sure what a sign means, check the Highway Code.

Changes to driving test booking happening today. ⚠️

From today (9 June), if you move your driving test, you can only move it to one of the 3 nearest test centres to where it's currently booked.

This is the remaining change we committed to make by the end of Spring 2026:

📅 31 March — test changes limited to 2 per booking

🔒 12 May — only learners can book, change or cancel their own test

📍 9 June — test moves limited to 3 nearest centres

Since 12 May, we've suspended 3605 accounts for breaking the rules and reported apps to app stores for removal. We're not stopping there.

⚠️The weather can change in an instant — and your driving needs to change with it.

🌦️Sudden rain? The Highway Code says you should double your stopping distance and slow down.

☀️Bright sun can be just as dangerous, creating reflections and glare on road surfaces — make sure your sunglasses and sun visor are within reach before you set off.

🚗🚙And if you're sitting in heavy traffic, keep a safe gap to the car in front. It's easy to creep forward without thinking, but that space could be what prevents a bump.

👍A few small adjustments can make a big difference. Stay safe on the roads this summer!
