Really important when choosing winter clothes, a good piece information for my pupils - scan the road at all times!

I always congratulate my pupils on working hard in their lessons, but this lovely lady took her hard work to the extreme!

A true friend doesn’t make you feel awkward for being honest… if their driving makes you feel unsafe, tell them.

A prime example that hard work does pay off. No one deserves this pass more than you Aria! I’m so proud of you for sticking at it through the good times and the bad. Enjoy your adventures and no more buses!!!

Carl Simpson got into his car having just consumed several pints of lager and drove two friends before crashing into another car at 126mph on Romney Road, Lydd. The two passengers, Jack Ryle-Thompsett from Lydd and Michael Phelan from Hull died at the scene, along with Sharon Haywood from Ashford, https://uknip.co.uk/Breaking/News/breaking/a-speeding-drink-driver-who-killed-three-people-when-he-was-more-than-two-and-a-half-times-the-legal-limit-has-been-jailed/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost

A few things to check before you go out for first drive with a family member / friend

Rule 202 of the Highway Code states:

You need to look carefully before you start reversing. You should:

👉 Use all your mirrors
👉 Check the ‘blind spot’ behind you (the part of the road you cannot see easily in the mirrors)
👉 Check there are no pedestrians (particularly children), cyclists, other road users or obstructions in the road behind you.

You should reverse slowly while:

👀 Checking all around
🚘 Looking mainly through the rear window
🛣️ Being aware that the front of your vehicle will swing out as you turn

Get someone to guide you if you cannot see clearly ✔️

An important message here!

When every person in the car wears a seatbelt, every person in the car is safer. Are the rules in your car clear? No belt… No lift!
