Driving is an important form of transportation in this day and age.  Driving Lessons Blackburn provides the skills necessary to become an authorized driver quickly. A professional driving instructor from a driving school trains the learner driver to drive an automated or manual vehicle. The driving instructor provides not just professional tips on turning, accelerating and braking, but also delivers the learner driver with safety tips that will help the learner driver stay safe after graduating from a learner driver.

Driving Schools provide lessons customized to understanding the road rules as well as providing the technical skills needed to drive a vehicle. Generally, these lessons are practical sessions that have the learner driver driving on roads both with and without traffic. Upon successful completion of the learner permit test, the learner driver is offered a legally binding permit to learn how to drive.

An acute shortage of heavy goods drivers in Northland has prompted an industry leader to warn the situation will not improve unless the right people are identified for the profession and groomed through the education system.

As calls are made by Unions Northland for wages for logging truck and other heavy goods drivers to be increased, the Road Transport Forum said downward pressure on freight rates, high operating costs, and a shortage of drivers were affecting trucking businesses hugely.

Forum chief executive Ken Shirley said while an H5 licence was the legal threshold for heavy truck and trailer drivers in the country, it did not make them competent and experienced.

"To be a top driver it takes about five years of work experience and because there's a chronic shortage of H5 drivers, many companies grab whatever they can as long as people have got H5 licence," he said.

Mr Shirley said many Kiwi companies were forced to hire drivers from overseas after going through the licensing system. He said there would be logging truck drivers in Northland with little experience. Northland has had a number of logging truck crashes this year, with seven in the past seven weeks and at least 10 since the end of 2015. Mr Shirley said transport operators had to front up to the situation.

He said because of a lack of experience, a Rollover Prevention Safer Journeys' seminars the Forum organised with other stakeholders in Whangarei and throughout the country would help educate drivers and freight loaders on the factors that could cause a truck to roll.

They include the influence of speed, centre of gravity, weight transfer and cornering forces. Two seminars in Whangarei last week saw 180 truck drivers, transport operators and forest owners attend.

Mr Shirley did not know the reason for a shortage of truck drivers, but said the problem was being felt throughout the world including the likes of the US, UK, and most OECD countries. The forum, he said, was in talks with the New Zealand Transport Agency to make the seminar mandatory as part of obtaining heavy truck and trailer licence.

A travel company catering for Chinese tourists has dramatically cut its client crash rate through careful screening, on road training, and refusing to hire vehicles to those it deems unsafe to drive.

Kate Travel has brought 10,000 Chinese independent travellers to New Zealand since setting up in 2013.

Co-owner Kate Deng said in the first year of operations her clients had between 20 and 30 serious crashes, including at least three requiring helicopter rescues. But that dropped to just two crashes last summer "and they were not that serious".
Deng says on-road driver training for Chinese tourists helps them feel more confident.

Deng says on-road driver training for Chinese tourists helps them feel more confident.

Deng's staff questioned prospective drivers to gauge their level of experience, and sent them a short test covering road rules about speed, left turns and using roundabouts.

"You can have a driving licence for three to five years and hardly drive at all in China. We ask 'do you drive to work every day?'

About 5 per cent of customers were refused hire cars.

"Some of them are really angry, they say 'it's not your business'. But some take it really positively because we're looking after them really well."

Deng said she was also using a new company owned by a Chinese man who took visitors out for training drives and explained the road rules so they felt more confident behind the wheel.

"If they believe after a long time they can't drive, they will turn them away and send them back to us and we will book a bus."

Other rental companies declined to rent vehicles to tourists if they were not up to speed with New Zealand's driving laws.

Hertz New Zealand manager Mark Righton​ said the company made sure clients were prepared to drive when they got to New Zealand and then made further assessments at the front counter.

Hertz employees could cancel a hire at their discretion, he said.

"All our employees have the authority to not rent it out. It could be anyone if there's any reason to think we shouldn't give them the key."

Go Rentals general manager James Dalglish estimated about 10 to 15 per cent of drivers screened before they got behind the wheel required further education.

Extra training "might even go as far as a practical driving test", he said.

"We take it pretty seriously. We have on several occasions not let a hire go ahead."

Rental Vehicle Association chief executive Barry Kidd said while rental car companies refused to hire vehicles to inexperienced drivers, there were no national figures available.

Stress on Road Safety

Road safe practices are the main priority of every driving course. The learner is given knowledge of respecting the traffic rules, road safety, considering traffic and road conditions and respecting pedestrian together with driver needs too.

Numerous statistics verify that China has the highest rate of car accidents and related fatalities in the world. But what nobody ever mentions is that just walking across a street here can also be life threatening.

In most countries I have ever lived in, pedestrians are protected by the simplest of rules: if there is a crosswalk and the light is green for walkers, they can cross safely. In this situation, they have something called "right of way" (priority) over any vehicle, which are supposed to stop to let people cross.

From my understanding, this same basic traffic law IS on the books in China. However, from living in Shanghai for many years it has become dangerously apparent to me that this law is absolutely not obeyed or even enforced by police.

On the contrary, Chinese pedestrians have become so accepting of vehicles turning at corners without yielding or crossing intersections without slowing that the new "common law" is that vehicles always have priority over pedestrians.

Close to my office in Changning district, there is a heavily trafficked thoroughfare that gets as many cars as people crossing its intersection. Yet, what usually occurs are pedestrians having to wait at their green light because cars continue to bully their way through the crosswalk. I fear for my life at this intersection.

Sadly, many less-aware pedestrians don't realize how closely they brush against death every day when crossing a street in Shanghai. Failing to pay full attention to cars who refuse to stop at a red light is just begging to get clipped.

I have seen countless cars drive right in front of mothers pushing their baby in a stroller, which, but for the grace of god, would result in the baby taking the brunt of the car's impact. Why these drivers have no compunction about possibly killing someone is beyond me, but every single day I witness at least one near-fatality.

The pathetic thing is that none of these insane drivers could plead ignorance should they actually kill someone. They are all very aware of the traffic laws, as Shanghai has one of the most difficult written driving tests in China. The Global Times' own reporter, Yang Lan, wrote an article last year (see: "In Shanghai, the ultimate driving lesson is on the road") about how it took her three attempts to pass the test.

A Chinese friend of mine has a solid theory about why Shanghai drivers suck. He said that 20 years ago there was hardly a car in sight except for the wealthy and officials. Therefore, pedestrians and bicyclists were quick to jump out of their way because they knew they would be blamed and punished for any accident. This acquiescent mentality, my friend believes, has been inherited by today's pedestrians. Even when cars run a red light or push their way through people, few will fault the driver.

As a Westerner, I have less tolerance for bad driving than the locals do. When I see some arrogant driver try to turn right without slowing down, I can only think that they are just trying to show off their power against us, the lowly plebeians, who walk instead of drive to work. In France, my home country, we have a saying "The biggest one owns the road." There are other similar idioms around the world, such as "Big fish eats the little fish," all which seem to be a very literal attitude in China.

Busses here blaze through red lights and the traffic police let them, but those same cops will chase after scooter riders for not stopping at the white line. Chinese taxis like to honk at law-abiding pedestrians for not getting out of their way. But then the rich people in their shiny black sedans honk at the taxis for not moving.

It is an absurd food chain that I have not ever witnessed in any other developed country. From Paris to Amsterdam to London, I have always felt quite safe crossing a street. But not here in Shanghai, where even the highly publicized recent crackdown on traffic violations has failed to enforce pedestrians' legal right of way.

Automatic driving lessons St Albans are one among the options an aspiring motorist can take to get him started. However, it is very expensive than its manual counterpart. Manual driving lessons are usually more focused on boosting a student's position to the gears and clutch operation.

Automatic transmission unburdens people with this issue. Hence, they learn more quickly ways to maneuver their vehicles and become trained in testing at a much quicker pace. Apart from that, automatic driving lessons include the added benefit of being more pleasant. Since students are spared from the embarrassing dilemma of getting stalled in the middle of the street or not having the ability to move the clutch correctly, they feel more confident and relaxed every session.
This triggers a much better performance, which all trainers wish to develop. It also doesn't hurt that automatic driving courses are simpler and much easier to memorize than manual. Put them together and the novice is confident of passing the license exam.

In February 2016, the French Competition Authority (“FCA”), tasked by the French government, published three separate opinions on the proposed French government reform of the driver’s licence examination conditions. The reforms aim at reducing the time and costs for candidates to obtain their driver’s licences.

The driver’s licence examination in France is and will continue to be made up of two parts: the driving theory test (known in France as the “Code”) and the practical in-car test.

In spite of a recent increase in the number of government inspectors, it still takes much longer in France to take the exam (an average 72 days in France compared to an average 45 days in the EU in 2015). Excessive waiting periods in France have come with a range of detrimental consequences for candidates such as (1) the need to take more driving lesson between the theory test and the practical test to keep up their level, thereby driving up the total price of a driver’s license, (as driving lessons in France are dispensed by private driving schools) (2) a delay in entering the workforce as many employers require job candidates to have a driver’s licence, and (3) being tempted to drive without a driver’s licence while finalizing the examination, which causes serious public safety concerns.

Overall, the FCA hails the reform as providing greater economic efficiency. For instance, the FCA approves of the proposed outsourcing of the theory test, the administration of which may now be delegated to certified third party operators. Furthermore, the FCA approves of the proposed regulation of fees charged to candidates by driving schools.

However, as the present system has produced discrepancies between the treatment of candidates from one driving school or another, the FCA calls for more equal access to the exam for candidates as well as for greater competition between driving schools.

In spite of the fact that the proposed reform provides that the method for the allocation of exam spots must be objective, transparent, non-discriminatory and must not encourage competition between driving schools, the FCA considers that the measures put forth by the government are not truly in line with this provision as the method of allocation of exam slots relies on the past level of activity of each driving school. The FCA suggests instead that the allocation method be based more accurately on a monthly assessment which would take into account the real-time number of candidates who have passed the theory test but have not yet taken the practical test.

Moreover, the FCA suggests the putting into place of an online individual system for candidates to register to take the exam, to replace the current system whereby registrations are made by the driving schools. Space would be allocated depending on the date of registration of each candidate, as is the case in the UK.

The aim of free practical tips in driving being offered by a mini-driving school set up at the venue of the ongoing 32nd GCC Traffic Week is to help people avoid serious accidents, an official said.

The mini-driving school has been set up by Dalla, a driving academy in Doha, at Darb Al Saai where the GCC Traffic Week is being held.

Salem Aqueel, Training and Development Manager at Dalla Driving Academy, said: “We are offering free practical tips in driving for three to five minutes to every visitor and our aim is to ensure a ‘safe motorist’ on the road”.

“We want to benefit from technology and utilise it for traffic safety. For example, we are showing to visitors some hypothetical accidents as if they are real and caused due to some traffic safety rule violations such as high speed or overtaking, so they would not forget such accidents and would try to avoid such violations while driving”, he said.

Six cars have been deployed for training purposes at the mini-school and one of them is for people with special needs. Obviously, the free tips in driving are only for people aged 18 and above, said Aqueel.

Many visitors have liked the idea and said they saw such hypothetical accidents through special glasses offered by Dalla Academy. They lauded the tips. Practical tips are also being provided for L and parking.

A the pavilion of the Management of Engineering and Traffic Safety is displaying many new and modern radars, both fixed and mobile, to detect speed-related violations.

One of the mobile radars is a smart patrol radar. It has been installed since the past one year by the traffic department on its patrols.

This radar has six cameras fitted in it and they can catch violations and recognise car number. It can also do face recognition in case of a crime using a car on the road.

But this service (face recognition) is not yet activated, because the department is not interested.

 “We are using it only as radar and for traffic violations,” said the official.

The state Senate on Monday overwhelmingly approved legislation increasing penalties for texting and operating mobile electronic devices while driving a school bus - a bill stemming from the 2014 Knoxville school bus crash that killed two children and a teacher's assistant.

The still must win approval in the House of Representatives before it becomes law. The House version is awaiting review in the House Finance Committee.

But it won Senate approval on a 32-0 vote, after its sponsor, Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, R-Knoxville, explained the bill's origin with the Dec. 2, 2014, collision of two Knox County school buses on Asheville Highway. Investigators concluded the driver, who died of natural causes last June, was reading a text when his speeding bus carrying 22 children crossed the road and collided with another bus carrying 18 children and the teacher's aide.

"No parent should send their child off to school and that child not come home just because of a driver that is texting," Massey told her Senate colleagues. "You never recover from that. We are entrusting our kids to these bus drivers and it's a critical thing."

Her Senate Bill 1596 would upgrade the offense of using a portable electronic device while driving or operating a school bus from a Class C misdemeanor under Tennessee's criminal code to a Class A misdemeanor. A Class C misdemeanor is punishable by a $50 fine.

The bill specifies that a conviction after July 1, 2016, is punishable by at least 30 days in jail, a fine of at least $1,000, and a court order permanently banning the driver from operating a school bus in Tennessee.

Current law prohibits school bus drivers from using a mobile phone while the bus is in motion and transporting children, except for use necessary in an emergency. The bill adds a list of electronic devices and says no driver can use one while operating a school bus with one or more child aboard while it is in motion or stopped for loading or unloading children.

A NYS Corrections Officer admits to driving drunk and causing a crash in Moreau last August. He struck a plea bargain with the Saratoga County District Attorney’s Office on Thursday, February 18. The accident sent a man who was trying to teach his daughter how to drive to the hospital, according to District Attorney Karen Heggen.

Jason Abraham, 32, of Greenfield Center, faces up to four years in prison and will be sentenced in May, authorities said. Thursday morning, he pleaded guilty to one count of Vehicular Assault (1st Degree, Class D Felony) before County Court Judge James A. Murphy, III, the former DA in Saratoga County.

In the early evening hours of August 3, 2015, Abraham was speeding southbound on State Route 9 in Moreau when he hit a vehicle from behind. That car was driven by Faith Batchelder and the force of the crash flung and flipped her car off the road until it hit a utility pole, investigators said. The force of the crash caused the pole to snap in half, they added in a statement, and the collision caused serious physical injuries to her passenger, her father Ronald Batchelder, Jr. Abraham was not hurt in the crash.

In the hours leading up to the crash, Abraham had been at the Saratoga Race Track drinking and a chemical test revealed his blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18% - more than twice the legal limit.

The Batchelders were on their way home from the driving lesson on what they thought would be a quiet evening drive on a summer night, according the DA.

"We, along with the family, are pleased that the Defendant has finally chosen to accept responsibility for his actions,” Heggen said in a statement, noting the strength of both Faith and Ron Batchelder. “While we were prepared to try this case, the fact that we were able to bring this family closure and justice without the need for Faith and Ron to relive that horrible night through trial testimony was likewise a victory today.”

Heggen added: "There is simply no excuse for this senseless and completely unnecessary crime. The Defendant's choice to spend the day drinking alcohol before getting behind the wheel of his truck is criminal. The fact that this Defendant – a NYS corrections officer – would engage in this criminal behavior and put others at risk through his drunk driving is remarkable and truly disappointing.”

The case going to be heard by a jury beginning February 29 but ADA Matthew R. Coseo and the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Department had overwhelming evidence against Abraham, Heggen said.

Abraham will be sentenced May 5 at 9:30 a.m. to an expected state prison term of 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison. Additionally, Abraham’s driver’s license will be revoked and he will be required to install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle he owns or ever operates upon his release for three years.

Metal has been left mangled outside Premier Tyres, based at Greyfriars Business Park in Stafford, while substantial structural damage was inflicted inside the industrial unit.

CCTV which has been passed to police captured the moment a dark Vauxhall Signum careered into the building at 6.45pm last Saturday.
Before the crash, cameras had caught the vehicle being driven around the business estate for around 45 minutes.
Then the footage shows that immediately after the smash a woman gets out of the driver's seat and swaps seats with a man prompting suspicions that she was being given an unlicensed driving lesson which went horribly wrong.

Rob Walker, from Premier Tyres, said: "I noticed the damage on Sunday and at first thought someone had tried to break-in.

"But when I looked at the cameras, it looks more like a simple accident by someone learning to drive.

"They came around the car park, the brake lights came on but the car didn't turn and went straight into the building."

He said the cost of repairing the damage would run into the thousands of pounds and while it was being covered by the insurance it would result in higher premiums.
