Not only can you reduce your carbon emissions dramatically by employing eco-driving techniques, but it will save you money on fuel, and even your car tax if you drive a low carbon emitting vehicle. See our next article for some eco driving tips. http://www.rapidresultsdriving.co.uk/latestnews.html#Eco 04 May 2010 09:18:59 GMT There are many ways in which you can drive in a more eco friendly way. Leave gaps in slow moving traffic to avoid having to keep braking and accelerating - try and keep a slow constant pace. Do not carry unecessarily heavy loads in your vehicle. Adjust tyre pressures depending on the weight of the load in your car. Remove roofracks when they are not in use. Only use air conditioning or open windows when really necessary. Always change up to a higher gear as soon as you can - keep your revs low! The lower the revs, the better. Do not over rev your vehicle. Have regular car services. The best eco driving tip - walk or cycle when you can, especially for short trips! http://www.rapidresultsdriving.co.uk/latestnews.html#Eco_tips 04 May 2010 09:38:01 GMT The DSA ask you 2 questions now before the test begins. Your examiner will ask you whether you want your instructor to sit in the back of the car during your test, and whether you would like your instructor to listen in to the de-brief at the end. (This is a good idea, as if you do not pass, your instructor can listen to why you failed in order to help you pass next time). http://www.rapidresultsdriving.co.uk/latestnews.html#2 18 May 2010 16:13:26 GMT In October, the driving test is changing. There will only be 1 manouvre to complete instead of 2, but there will be an independant drive as part of the test to mimick 'real life' driving. You will be asked to follow signs towards a certain location that the examiner will tell you, until you are directed otherwise. The pass rate is no lower for people doing the tes in this way, than what it is like now. http://www.rapidresultsdriving.co.uk/latestnews.html#changes 04 Jun 2010 17:03:51 GMT
