My driving instructor – Kieran – was fantastic!

I had used another driving school previously and in all honesty, this experience was 110% better, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

Kieran was able to explain all the techniques and answer any questions I had clearly in a very easy manner.

My partner is due to take driving lessons and we will definitely be using Britannia and Kieran’s services again!

Pass Your MOT

Learn how not to fail your MOT with the following easy tips:

Prepare yourself…

1. Coolant leak

You may be surprised but fluids such as engine coolants and screen wash can leak but aren’t considered reasons for failure.

Your vehicle can fail the MOT if the fluid creates a pool on the floor within five minutes, or if there are many leaks which collectively leak fluid at the same rate.

2. Exhaust hole

The exhaust will only fail an MOT if there is a major leak or emissions are said to be unsafe.

A minor leak or corrosion would be pointed out as an advisory note but would pass.

3. Worn Tyres

Car tyres must provide enough grip for drivers to be able to control their vehicle efficiently and brake. There is a legal tread depth of 1.6mm, if they’re above this you’ll pass.

Learner Motorcyclist Banned

A learner motorcyclist was banned after he was stopped by police caught drink-driving.

In August, the learner was stopped when Police smelt alcohol and he wasn’t using his L plates.

The individual was registered at 76 microgrammes which is way over the legal limit of 35. He was fined £120 and disqualified from driving for 20 months.

If you’re unsure of the rules, ask us!

A New Hazard Perception Test?

Do you think the hazard perception test is outdated? Children on scooters, potholes and pedestrians on phones should be included.

Half of the people asked during the new study that they weren’t prepared for the hazards they were faced when they passed their test.

It should be updated to include modern hazards including potholes, couriers, children on scooters, vape clouds and drones.

What do you think? Is this too much?
