I was very lucky to have John O as my instructor, he is patient and encouraging. I passed my test at Morden with only ONE error. Big thanks to John!

There are a lot of problems we might have with driving – From being stuck in traffic to breaking down on a journey, being behind the wheel can put you under pressure at times. However with the imminent advent of self-driving cars, there is one thing drivers can look forward to when on the roads […]

Robotics experts have warned that self-driving cars are not yet ready for deployment, despite manufacturers rushing to have these released to the public as soon as possible. The autonomous vehicles are not yet suitable to handle weather conditions such as water on the roads, rain or snow, and cannot yet follow the directions of a […]

Many of us will have pets, and those of us that are dog lovers will enjoy taking our favourite canines out for a drive to get them out of the house – But are you aware of the safety precautions you should take when out and about with your dogs. First of all, always take […]

There are a series of new projects in the pipeline to help bring self-driving cars to the Britain, the UK Government has announced. £20 million have been awarded to eight new projects, out of a total of £100 million form the autonomous car fund, to help the research and development needed for driverless cars to […]

The age of the self-driving car is imminent – With autonomous vehicles legally allowed on the roads in US states such as Nevada, it clearly is only a matter of time until they are as commonplace as normal cars. As Nissan have been testing their self-driving cars on public roads in Japan, the results were […]

From 1 October 2015 it will be illegal to smoke in a vehicle with anyone under 18 present. The new law will apply in England and Wales. Both the driver and the smoker could be fined £50. The law applies to every driver, including those aged 17 and those with a provisional driving licence. The […]

Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, are preparing autonomous cars to predict what humans might do next. A team has developed an algorithm that can guess with up to 92% accuracy whether a human driver will make a lane change. Enthusiasts believe that self-driving vehicles could lead to fewer crashes and less traffic. But […]

As the world of motoring shifts forward a gear into the age of self-driving cars, one can’t help but feel excited at the prospect of autonomous vehicles navigating the roads in our place, leaving us safe in a reduced risk of accidents and even able to finally enjoy the commute to work for once. However, some […]

Smart cars of the near future could refuse to start if the driver exceeds the drink-drive limit. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), working with a consortium of car makers including Ford, GM and Volkswagen has developed an alcohol detection system for vehicles that will prevent those over the limit from driving. The […]
