It is 17 years since I learned to drive. Jesus where has that time gone? My Neighbours youngest son is just learning to drive now and I remember him just being a little kid, so I feel very old!
Driving and cars are my passion and it’s one I share with my Husband and my family – thankfully – so I am always patient and kind to learner drivers out on the road. We ALL learned once.
If you are taking your first lessons this summer, I have 5 top tips for techy assistance whilst learning.
At this time of year, being the designated driver can be both a blessing or a curse. Whether it is by necessity or choice, buying soft drinks, mocktails or alco free beers can all add up to just as an expensive night as one on the booze but you get the joy, usually, of ferrying your drunk mates home after the Christmas Party. Yay.
In a bid to drastically cut down the amount of drink drivers at this festive time of year, many City Centre bars are now adopting the Designated Driver scheme.
I know, I know, me and cars right? When the lovely people at Hodgson Toyota asked me if I would like to put the all new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid through its paces and I jumped at the chance and thoroughly enjoyed it!
I had some reservations about a Hybrid car so I was quite nervous but we got on on well, Reg and I (yes I named it!).
If you find yourself with a spare afternoon this summer, why not head up to Kielder Reservoir Forest Drive?
With 12 miles of beautiful scenery and countryside spread out before you on one of the UK’s highest roads (1500m above sea level), it is the ideal way to get out and about for only £3.
