Good evening.
I’m a driving instructor, so whether that counts as a road safety professional, or not, I don’t know.
I tend to agree with Martin Evans. I would certainly not recomned that action to my pupils. There is also the no ‘U’ turn sign which you may see on some breaks in the central reservation. There are two such examples near me on the A27.Roger Hosking, ADI.
Hi Karen.
I’m a driving instructor and I agree with the comments from Andrew Fraser.
As driving instructors, we were asked for our opinions on graduated licences years ago. I don’t have access to the results of surveys, but I personally would support GDL’s.Another report in this weeks update ‘Vehicle speed compliance statistics for Great Britain: January to March 2021’ confirmed my own thoughts about road speedss. I think changing the behaviour of drivers will be very difficult. As instructors, we can encourage our pupils to be speed aware while they are learning. However. Once they have passed their driving test, there is no further encouragement to put into practice what they have been taught and they simply do what everyone else does.
My own personal view is that there is no general enforcement of (any?) road behaviour form the Police. Any one caught is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also, is the government just waiting for sefl-driving cars, when driver behaviour is controlled by the vehicle…?
