Motoring Eye am Aware! Last July, the government launched an eyesight awareness campaign which includes a check to see if you can read a number plate at 20 metres. If you fail this simple test you could have your license revoked immediately or you may receive a hefty fine too. Glasses and contact lenses can correct most visual problems but surveys show that many drivers don’t have regular checks and are unaware of how poor their vision is. Tips for New Drivers RoSPA statistics show that you are more likely to have an accident in the first two years after passing your driving test than at any other time. Follow these tips to stay safe after passing your test: 1. Practise Build up your confidence and experience by driving short journeys in familiar locations. Get more experience before going out in rush hour or in the dark. Improve your skills with Pass Plus Driving Schemes, use a ‘P Plate’ and fit a black box. 2. Distractions It’s illegal to use a phone while driving, even the sound can be distracting. With one in four accidents are caused by them, turn it off. You can double your risk of an accident by giving friends a lift in the first few weeks after passing, say no! Don’t drive after lack of sleep, using legal or illegal drugs or alcohol. 3. Speed limits It’s against the law to break speed limits - you’ll risk a fine and points on your licence as well as increase the chance of being involved in an accident. Speed limits indicate maximum speed rather than actual speed, adjust your driving according to the conditions – weather, location (near a school) size and condition of road. 4. Using your brakes Control your acceleration, deceleration and use of brakes - you’ll use less fuel, put less wear and tear on your brakes and drivers will be able to anticipate what you are doing. Keep a 2 second distance from the car in front. Car of the Edition Hyundai I30 1.6 Active CRDi 5d Auto 109 Bhp When the budget doesn’t quite stretch to some of the bigger brands, then take a look at cars like this Hyundai. A truly great alternative to Focus-sized family hatchbacks and you’ll love the added extras. Head, shoulder and leg room are generous and the boot isn’t bad either. These cars have always been regarded as reliable and economical. They offer an average extra urban fuel consumption of 62.5mpg and urban of 39.2mpg. Other nice features include steering wheel mounted audio/phone controls, Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, cruise control and a speed limiter and parking sensors.
