OK, so from the off, none of the drivers featured in the following video ever set foot in a Train2Drive car! I would very much like to think that had they, then the show would have (thankfully) been considerably less interesting to watch. The BBC have released a new TV show last week called Barely [...]
Possible restrictions for new and learner drivers
Patrick McLoughlin, the Transport Secretary, has announced a review of the current rules surrounding learner drivers and driving tests. Currently, as we have experienced, learners can wait until they are 17, get the earliest theory test available, book a week’s intensive course, and sit their test.

Reducing the number of road signs
In the news this week has been plans to remove some 9000 road signs from the UK’s highways. The hope is that this will have all sorts of beneficial side effects.
