    Ambulance Station

    I know all them letters are hard earned, I know when I get older I won't care about them, but at the moment I do. Basically it means I've done 5 practical driving tests, 3 driving theory tests, and two instructional ability tests and passed or in RoSPA Gold case exceeded expectations! Most...

    I would go down my favourite roads (A519) and I would also pull up stupid people on the A34 and A500 I see everyday!

    What is Stone like for snow today.....? and...........

    Bloody hell! Side impacts can be horrendous too.....various reasons, not good though! Has it got high grip surface on the exit slip road (brown/amber coloured tarmac) that would help! Its twice as much cost wise as normal tarmac, but they should do something if there are lots of incidents there!

    What is Stone like for snow today.....? and...........

    Those are the three main causes of a skid, brake, accelerator or steering. Too much of all of them causes a skid....... What's wrong with the cresswell lot? I have plenty of scary moments on the cresswell roundabout as I come past the exits to the motorway, god knows what speed they are...

    Castletown Bypass - Western Access Road

    you should report the pedestrian sequence to Clarence, I had a similar problem in Stoke on Trent, where the pedestrian crossing into town didn't work, it took 2 attempts and a snotty email for them to fix it, but it did get fixed! I think they forgot to tell someone the first go around, I went...

    I'm not sure they could get to Moss Pit that quickly anyways! I think I'd take the M6 if I was in a hurry from both those locations.

    Tollgate is massive, but judging by the amount of activity from the Stone Road one I think it's in an idea location for town in get in and out! Sounds like a blow to response times to me? Mind you I see quite a few people block the entrance to it!

    I've heard Stone is quite bad today, is that the case? Also as an instructor I believe that students should learn in these condtions so they can drive safely in them. Usually I start in a quiet car park well away from other cars. I teach skid contol, use of gears and how to correct skids...

    State Of The Roads.

    Stafford roads are mixed, some ok, others that could be better. The Sainsburys/Town centre traffic light roundbout clogs up for no reason - I think its the timing of the traffic lights, but also there are TWO lanes for going to A518 Telford but no body uses them! Some of the signs are...

    Castletown Bypass - Western Access Road

    Castlefields is already used extensively by driving instructors, this would pretty much directly link castlefields with the test centre. Although I am an instructor, I try and respect residents on the castlefields estate, giving them space to pass, and I do not ALWAYS use Castlefields to teach...
