Bispham Roundabout

Bispham Roundabout 

One of the most frequently asked questions on driving lessons is “Will I have to do Bispham Roundabout on my test?” If you are taking your driving test in Blackpool then there is a very good chance your practical driving test will involve Bispham roundabout as many of the driving test routes in Blackpool cover the roundabout. We always ensure all our students have good knowledge of the roundabout. We get many pupils with the misconception that Bispham roundabout is a really difficult roundabout to master. IT REALLY ISN’T! Although the roundabout does appear to have a bad reputation and can look very intimidating, we have some great ways to help get your head around it. Below are some videos which can help you get a better understanding of the roundabout. If you're taking your driving lessons with us then our driving instructors will break each step down of the roundabout and give you plenty of practice until you feel confident enough to do it independently. We also have plenty of other media resources to help you.

We have created these videos to help guide you with the roundabout...

Crash for Cash

Crash for cash

Learner drivers beware

Are you aware that organised gangs are staging car crashes to commit insurance fraud? As part of a national scam worth roughly £400m a year, criminals are orchestrating accidents to make fraudulent insurance claims, the profits of which are used to fund other crimes, including illegal firearms and drug smuggling.

What is a Crash for Cash scam?

• The Frame – the car in front slams on its brakes for no obvious reason giving the victim no time to prevent a collision.
• The Blame – they insist that it’s the victim’s fault and give them their name and address and the details of their insurance company, sometimes already written down on a piece of paper.
• The Claim – A few weeks later (though sometimes longer) the victim will receive a letter from their insurance company notifying them of a grossly exaggerated claim including the costs of a recovery vehicle, car hire and whiplash injuries to passengers, none of which actually happened.

Do you live in one of the ‘Crash for Cash' hotspots?

STAY VIGILANT & MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FRONT & REAR DASHCAMS FITTED!

Our Blackpool driving School educates our learner drivers on how to avoid being a victim of this fraud. There are usually some tell tale signs to look out for. To book your driving lessons with a driving school that offers top quality driving lessons in Blackpool, visit www.goldenmiledriving.com

Driving in bad weather

Driving in Bad Weather 

Driving in bad weather can be a dangerous if you’re not careful enough. The combination of cold and wet weather, the roads are becoming wetter and much more icy by the day, demanding full attention of all drivers behind a wheel in these weather conditions.

One other issue we see in winter is strong winds – When driving against strong winds, it's necessary to exercise more caution, as winds can cause debris such as tree branches to fall into the path of your car, and also to keep an eye on other drivers who may find their driving being affected by the wind.

When driving beside larger vehicles you must take caution, lorries or larger vehicles may shelter you from strong winds for a time, so when you emerge into the open, you are likely to experience a strong side wind.

Did you know that you can ask your driving instructor to teach you how to deal with driving in bad weather or ask to have a driving lesson when the weather is bad so you feel much more confident when you pass your driving test.

Driving at Christmas - Don't Drink Drive!

Driving at Christmas - Don't Drink Drive!

Obviously Don't drink Drive - EVER! But we thought this article should go out now due to the temptation being much greater

.So we are well into December now and its that time of year where we eat,drink and be merry. The build up to Christmas on the roads can be quite a challenge, what with bad weather conditions and plenty of people dashing to get those last minute Christmas presents .One of the biggest concerns during the festive season is drink driving. 

In the last 50 years road casualties caused by drink driving have fallen dramatically, but in 2013, there were still 240 deaths due to drink driving – accounting for 14% of all road fatalities. By drinking and driving, you risk your life, those of your passengers and others on the road.

THINK! A second drink can double your chance of a fatal collision

Our new campaign targets those who still think it’s okay to have ‘a couple’ of drinks before driving. The campaign shows scenarios where someone might consider having two drinks before driving or choose to drive after drinking and the deadly consequences that can occur.

THINK! Drink Drive 2015 campaign. This campaign targets those who are tempted to drink ‘a couple’ before driving and shows how a second drink could double your chance of being in a fatal collision. However, the safest thing to do is to not drink any alcohol before driving.
