Voices from the Road

1966 & 1991 - Bubble cars and the education over punishment debate


Listen Later

We offer an extended discussion featuring three people who were involved in the pioneering days of the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme that began – under various names in different locations - in 1991. But before that, we head back to 1966 and take a look at the Heinkel bubble car. 

Valerie Singleton presents Voices from the Road, an exciting project in which we will seek to create and build a fascinating audio archive capturing the widest possible range of motoring memories – starting way back in 1932. These stories could be individual accounts of road journeys… exciting adventures… and achievements from specific years…  as well as more noteworthy developments in road safety, vehicle technology, and motoring law. The key thing is the people telling the stories... it’s all about real life on the road.
