Hi and welcome to this week's podcast show. The Swan & Soto show. This week we are discussing The New Driver's Act! 

The New Driver's Act 

We discuss the New Driver's Act and what types of points you can get on your driving licence. This includes:

1. Having bald tyres
2. Not stopping at STOP junctions 
3. Not having valid car insurance 
4. Not having road tax
5. Not complying with traffic signs 
6. Not complying with road markings 
7. Not complying with traffic lights 
8. Not complying with speed limits
9. Not giving the identification of a driver
10. and many many more!

What happens if you don't pay your car insurance? Listen to one pupil's journey after she did just that! 

Emma lost her licence for not having car insurance. She was a little skint so cancelled the direct debit. Unfortunately, she was caught and lost her driving licence. Two years later she was finally able to get back behind the wheel when she passed her driving test with a clean sheet. 

Emma shares her story on how it impacted her life and stopped her from progressing in her career. She advises on what to do when it comes to retaking a driving test and getting back behind the wheel! 

Why a clean sheet is a big deal to driving instructors, and what it means! It is a rare commodity for a driving instructor to get a clean sheet. Personally, I didn't have one for 13 years and then all of a sudden got lots and lots! Passing your test is a special moment, so why not do it in style and be the best there is!

We also answer your burning questions on how to pass a driving test in the UK! Please listen, like and comment and share with us your views. We hope you enjoy the show! 

 

In next week's show, we are chatting about HPI checks - and ceased cars! Keep tuned! 

Until next time, take care!
