Zoom along to Scotland seminar and AGM
Hello everyone, my name is Alex Buist,
Chairman of MSA Scotland.
I was delighted to be elected to the
position of chairman at the STS last
year. I had some good plans for what
we could do and was really looking
forward to pursuing them in
2020, but sadly, they’ve all
had to be put on hold while
we get to grips with
Covid-19. What a year
it’s been!
We had planned to
hold our Scottish
Training Seminar at a
new venue this year,
however, it was not to be,
and we’re not able to hold a
face-to-face meeting this year.
However, we are holding a virtual
Scotland Training Seminar on Sunday,
November 8th via the Zoom platform.
The meeting will start at 11am and
should last no more than two hours. It
will include guest speakers to be
confirmed and Peter Harvey, the MSA
GB national chairman.
If you would like to attend please
send your name and email address
to me at chair.os@msagb.com
You will then be sent
details relating to joining
instructions for the
meeting.
For those who have
never attended our
Scotland Training Seminars
they are a great opportunity
for you to catch up with what’s
going on in the profession – and at
the moment, that’s a lot! – and meet
other instructors, though this year you
will be doing it all from the comfort of
your own home, and at no cost.
Join the meeting and hopefully learn
what the industry intends to do for the
rest of the year and what the DVSA has
planned.
We will end the day with our Annual
General Meeting, at which we will elect
our officers for the next 12 months.
So take note and send the email. I
hope to see you on the day. This
meeting is for all driver trainers; if you
have a friend within the profession who
would like to attend, include their name
and email address when you book and
we will also send them a link.

The right way
to curb wrong
way drivers?
While I was in Canada, writes Karen
MacLeod, I also came across some road
signs that could be useful in the UK, such
as the ‘No entry and Wrong Way’ signs
marking the entry to major highways.
Perhaps if we used these in the UK we’d
avoid those dreadful incidents where people
go the wrong way up or down slip roads on
motorways/dual carriageways.
This sign? It’s a mystery....
MSA GB Scotland editor Karen MacLeod spotted this road sign (above)
while on holiday in Canada this summer. It’s not a sign that you see in
the UK – so what does it signify? See pg 44 for the answer
