Re: All Quiet on the Western Front
Well I'm close to Inverness...doing the North Coast 500! Fuel is no problem up 'ere. Some stunning roads and scenery even in October and the places we've been staying at (B&B's, an self-catering apartment and hotels) have all been fab. The people have been friendly and the 'other' drivers seem p...

Proposed speed limit changes in Wales
If anyone's interested you can respond to the proposed national 30 to 20 limit in Wales here:
https://gov.wales/proposal-reduce-speed-limit-20mph-residential-streets
I've responded as best I can...not that it's likely to make a difference.

IAM RoadSmart - oh dear
Saw this press release recently... https://www.intelligentinstructor.co.uk/20mph-limits-gain-popularity/ Why are the IAM promoting lower speed limits across the board - as in reducing the 30 to 20 nationally? I'd much prefer they promote 'Advanced Driving' and gaining the skills necessary...regardle...

If you fancy looking at Thames Valley Advanced Motorists they are the adjacent group....take a look at https://tvgam.org.uk/ for more details. You could speak to the IAM Roadsmart HQ and discu...
