GIVING BIRTH AT THE DRIVING WHEEL

An expectant mother in Minnesota went from having labour pains at work to holding her baby whilst driving to the hospital. Of course you can still take your redhill driving lessons when you are pregnant just remember to tell your instructor when you are reaching your due date !

The mother picked up the baby’s father on the way to the hospital and although being in discomfort continued to drive the journey as the baby’s father has a history of seizures and they thought it was safer for her to drive.

Ms McBride was driving when the baby simply slid out. The father had to then take the wheel as she cradled the baby in her arms. The baby boy named Joseph was a healthy baby weighing 8 pounds.

However, the hospital were shocked to discover that the mum was driving whilst in labour, which of course is not recommended and deemed extremely dangerous. If there is nobody that can take you to the hospital, the safest thing to do is call the ambulance service.

DRIVER FOR LIFE WITH PASS PLUS

Pass plus is aimed a new drivers to improve their driving, make them safe and skilful drivers and to gain more experience.

The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) along with insurance companies and driving instructors feel that although a new driver has the competence to pass the test, it would benefit them to take pass plus and deal with new situations.

There is no test to complete the pass plus, your m & m driving instructor will assess your driving throughout and grade you. So weather you have just passed your test or had your redhill driving lessons last year and passed, you can still take the pass plus course.

The course is divided into six modules and they are listed as followed:

Assessed on: Observation and judgement / Consideration for other road users / Spatial awareness / Typical features of urban roads

MIRROR SIGNAL FLASH

More and more accidents are happening due to the misuse of signals.

Taking your redhill driving lessons can be difficult enough at the best of times without other road users deliberately or accidently signalling when it is not safe to do so.

How many of you have flashed another driver to signal them to pull out of a road or to go ahead of you? I bet a lot of you have answered yes, but how many of you have taken responsibility for that vehicle and checked that it is safe to do so.

Many drivers will take your signalling as an instruction and the danger with this, is they act before checking it is safe to go.

Using signals not illustrated in the Highway Code can lead to very dangerous driving habits. It is not just cars and their drivers that can suffer its pedestrians also.

Most driving examiners will instantly fail somebody sitting on test if they wave or flash somebody regardless of the situation. Taking the test is not just about passing, but about learning safe skills for life.

It is possible that nobody will be affected by you giving way, that you get a thank you and it eases the traffic flow however, the same action could have dismal consequences. Could you live with yourself!?

Call to parents over driving lessons

YOUNG drivers might be less likely to crash after passing their test if their parents sit in on driving lessons.

That’s one conclusion to be drawn from the Staffordshire Young Driver Coaching Programme, which found that parents’ involvement in driving lessons also helped to cut out the age-old quarrels between learner drivers and the mums and dads who offer private practice.

An evaluation of the project, which was carried out as part of the RoSPA/BNFL scholarship scheme, found that an accompanying resource pack also proved vital to producing better, safer drivers.
Although the study, by Staffordshire County Council and the University of Keele, did not quantify long-term goals such as reduced crash rates, it did highlight the kind of good practice – such as parents sitting in on lessons – that RoSPA hopes might enable those aims to be achieved. While taking your redhill driving lessons you might feel that having someone in the back will help, if so we can arrange this for you.

A quarter of all approved driving instructors in Staffordshire signed up to the scheme, which saw 20 families taking part. As well as parents recording progress in the learner’s training book, they also received guides about how to support the lessons conducted by the instructor.
