Standards Check
This isn’t exactly new news, after all the check test revamp has been talked about for as long as I can remember and so has publishing grades.

Road Safety Figures
Road safety in some parts of the EU are looking much better than 2011, a year that has been described as a stand alone compared to the good work that has seen results since 2007. Across the EU fatalities have fallen by 9%, in the UK by 7% which is a vast improvement, showing that [...]

Christmas Gifts
Eco driving can save the motorist money, more than you save when you ring around looking to save a few pound on insurance. The longer you have been driving the less likely you will drive economically, cars have changed dramatically has the motorist really adjusted their driving to accomodate that? Gift vouchers are available for [...]
Toll Charges
The current Government has put forward road charges (tolls) for HGV, this will fall in line with the proposal to trail vehicles of weights above 44t in the UK. A scheme for HGV road user charging cannot discriminate between UK-registered vehicles and vehicles registered elsewhere in the EU. It will therefore apply to both UK [...]
