Well it has been a very busy week again, managing new students alongside established students keeps this job very fresh. The feeling of knowing we have helped a student pass their driving test is always fantastic. It is great to know we have helped someone secure a valuable life skill, which will stay with him or her. The ability to drive a vehicle is a wonderful skill to have; from socialising to work it is a massive benefit. Keeping in mind our approach to instructing, which is to always approach our lessons with ‘safe driving for life’ as our motivator’ we are very proud of our achievements as a driving school. We have also expanded to cater for other areas which has been brilliant and keeps things challenging, just as we like it.

Following on from some chats we have had this week with our students we have found some interesting reading and tips which we think is good advice. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency has some interesting reading on safe driving for life and recently it has published an article on ‘Tailgating’ for anyone unfamiliar with this term it is simply when you drive too close to the driver in front. According to the research carried out by the road safety charity Brake and Direct Line up to 95% of drivers have at been concerned about other drivers driving to close to the back of their vehicles. It is an obviously dangerous maneuverer and needlessly causes accidents. Around 14% of road casualties are caused by tailgating. An easy way to ensure you yourself do not tailgate is to follow the two-second rule. Essentially the two-second rule is designed so that you stay a safe stopping distance away from the vehicle in front. To ensure you are following the two-second rule is simple. When the vehicle in front passes a fixed point, a sign or lamppost for example, count two seconds and as long as you do not pass the same fixed point before you finish you are OK (note this is for driving in clear and dry conditions, in wet conditions this should be doubled at least and in icy conditions it should increase further) The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency recommends that As the car in front passes a fixed point, such as a sign or a bridge, start to say ‘only a fool breaks the 2-second rule’ at a normal rate as it takes around 2 seconds to say. For more info on this the article can be found here it is very informative and well worth a read, it also has an explanation video at the bottom. We particularly like the advice to say ‘only a fool breaks the 2-second rule’ as it seems more accurate then simply counting and serves as a good reminder!!

Well that’s it for this week, hope you are having a fantastic bank holiday weekend and stay safe on the roads.
