We like to keep you updated here at Bill Plant.

Please do not forget that the official new highway code is out on the 17th September 2007. The Highway Code features the latest guidance on correct road usage and is prepared by the Road Safety Directorate and Driving Standards Agency.

The book keeps you current  which is essential for safe driving and conforming to the many legal requirements on today’s roads. Even if you are an experienced driver it helps to be aware of the new rules.

You can pre-order copies online or at local book stores.

The government are set to increase the the minimum driving age in the UK. Currently the minimum legal age to drive in the UK is 17. The proposal from them is a 12 month probation period for new drivers, so basically a 17 year old would not be able to hold a full driving licence until they are 18. There are no plans at present to introduce an upper driving limit.

A zero alcohol limit is also set to come into force for newly-qualified drivers for a 12 month period any new driver found with alcohol in their blood will be forced to retake their driving test. Motorway driving is also on the agenda and could well be restricted to more experienced drivers.

The Driving Standards Agency will present a consultation document containing all new plans this October.

Here at the Bill Plant Driving School we know that driving is not just a fun activity but that it must be done in responsible way.

You have so much choice when looking at driving lessons in the UK.A little known fact is that Bill Plant Driving School was the pioneer of making the options for driving lessons more affordable and open to a wider audience by offering packages such as 5 lessons for £56.00.
