Choose Safety over speed

Before you twist the throttle, ask yourself

!Helmet on and PPE secure?
!Electrics and indicators working?
!Sufficient fuel for the journey?
!Mirrors checked?
!Kick stand up?

Make responsible choices on the road

Learner Drivers Beware!

DVLA has a 600,000 backlog of driving tests and changed the rules to stop mass bookings, you now have to book your test yourself. This has led to a raise in fake websites offering this service
