With the RAC warning of “increasingly bleak” fuel price forecasts and duty rises on the horizon, here’s everything UK drivers need to know to slash their bills at the pump — whatever fuel type you drive.
You’ve driven that road a hundred times. You know every bend, every junction, every dip in the tarmac. You tell yourself you’d react in time. But would you? This week, Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins launched two national road safety campaigns that cut straight to the heart of a crisis that’s been quietly unfolding since the start of 2026. Fifteen people…
Cast your mind back to your driving test. Amongst the clutch control, the mirror checks, and the sweaty-palmed three-point turns, one rule was drummed into you with absolute clarity: signal your intentions. Tell other road users what you’re about to do. It costs nothing, takes a fraction of a second, and can mean the difference between a safe journey and a catastrophic one.
This perception gap between how we view our own driving versus how we judge others is creating real safety hazards on our roads, and it’s time we addressed it.
This article explores the neuroscience of learning to drive — and why understanding it might be the single most useful thing a learner driver can do before their next lesson.
Every single day on British roads, millions of drivers engage in one of the most pointless, dangerous, and downright stupid driving behaviours imaginable: tailgating. Despite overwhelming evidence that driving too close to the vehicle in front achieves absolutely nothing except increasing the risk of death and injury, a staggering 43% of UK drivers admit to this moronic behaviour at least sometimes.
If you’re preparing for your UK driving test in 2026, there’s something you need to know: the way you change gears and manage your speed isn’t just about looking smooth behind the wheel anymore.

The difference between a reactive driver and a safe, confident one isn’t luck or natural talent—it’s the systematic application of proper techniques from the very beginning.
Every day on Britain’s roads, a silent but pervasive danger plays out in countless interactions between vehicles. Tailgating—the practice of following another vehicle too closely—has become so commonplace that many drivers barely register it as the serious hazard it truly is. Yet this aggressive driving behaviour remains one of the leading contributors to road traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities across…
