	December 2024 "Newsletter" from Graham Feest's Consultancy • Lots of items on all matters to do with Road Safety, our Roads and UK Traffic. Always a good read from Graham, who is the Road Safety Advisor to the ADI National Joint Council and is pleased to share this version of his monthly-published 'Traffic Safety Roads Bulletin'.
	View your Driving Licence details on line : DVLA’s new online driving licence enquiry service. You'll need your National Insurance Number, your licence number, and your postcode as on the licence.
	Dealing with Blue Light Vehicles Video - SEPTEMBER 2020 Crucial information on what to do when those sirens blare and the blue lights flash ... Should you go over the STOP line at RED traffic lights to let them through? Watch this to find out why the answer's NO!
	KYTS - "Know Your Traffic Signs" - click to read/download the free, on-line version
	What to do in a crash / at an accident-scene : Consider downloading and printing this off.... Best to get to know its contents before any fateful day, though! n.b. Contrary to what 'the common man' may think : You do NOT have to divulge, or obtain from the 3rd party/parties, any INSURANCE details.

	Check on a vehicle's MOT status : a GOV.UK service : type in the reg. and BINGO! You can book a reminder for when your MOT's due and - perhaps more usefully - find out if there are any manufacturer's RECALL notices on a car.
	Get a print-out of your vehicle's MOT certificate : a GOV.UK service : you'll need a code from your V5 document for this.
	"Standards Check" Mark Sheet - Click/Touch the clip-board logo *[ My own notes on the Mark Sheet are available by clicking/touching this line ]*
	DVSA's own information for ADIs on the "Standards Check"
	Get yourself some VERY smart Registration Plates by designing on line, so that what-you-see really IS what-you-get! Use the "Plate Information" boxes to enter your reg. and then explore the Personal Touch to enter LEGAL parameters : • coloured frame = legal • name at the bottom = now legal • no date of manufacturer's name = all LEGAL nowadays - my own passed MOT [6.xi.18] with no problems. Just be careful over the choice of flag/badge : if you first click the "Plate Type" to show "Road Legal" you can check those flags/logos which are legal; then revert to the "Showplate" menus to add, legally, your name or Company name underneath the reg. number. The service you'll receive [and the price] are second-to-none.

	NEW! Don't punish or tell people off nowadays - send them off to a class to be "educated" over their delinquent ways! A worrying article here from the British Medical Association showing that Western Governments' preferred course of action in "re-educating" driving-offenders rather than punishing them is simply ineffectual; and yet - despite the evidence - it remains their preferred take on the problem.
