Ever wondered what should be in your car?

Royal has produced a list of must haves. We understand that this list is general and the list below may vary on an individual basis.

Remember, only a fool breaks the two second rule!

We apologise for the break in blog posts!

​This is due to the festive break, however, we will be back to posting regularly!

It is found that 96% of people (based on survey of 5000 participants) have been a victim of tailgating at some point whilst driving.

​This is remarkably high, however, 50% of people have also admitted to tailgating.
​
This, as well as Middle Lane Hogging, is covered under the ‘inconsiderate driving law’ which came into force at the same time as the latest careless driving penalties in 2013. 

This blog continues our series on habits picked up after passing your driving test. Should you accelerate through an amber ​light? The short answer is NO! You must STOP if you see a amber or red light at a traffic light, the only exception is if the driver is too close to the lights to stop safely. 

​​​In a continuation of our habits series, this blog will focus on blind spots and how important it is to check them.

​On a car there are usually only two blind spots, however, this could change depending on how many functioning mirrors you have.

This highlight the importance of checking any problems your car has and getting them repaired.

This is a possible habit that can be picked up after you pass your driving test.

​Be conscious of being a ‘middle lane hogger’ and if you are, make sure you are aware about the possible penalties and inconvenience that could be caused.
