Navigator Driver Training

🎙️ We’re heading to BBC Radio Wales!

Tomorrow morning, Friday 18th September at 8:40am, I’ll be visiting the BBC Radio Wales studios in Cardiff for an interview about something that has become a huge part of learning to drive — social media.

We’ll be talking about how platforms like YouTube can help learner drivers, but also how they can sometimes make learning to drive more confusing.

I’ll also be talking about why I create the content I do and how I try to use social media to help learners understand the decisions they need to make behind the wheel. 🚗

💬 But I want to know what YOU think…

Has social media helped you while learning to drive?

Have you ever watched a driving video that made something suddenly click?

Or has something you've seen online actually made learning more confusing? 🤔

Drop your thoughts in the comments — I’d love to hear them.

You can listen to the interview live from 8:40am tomorrow, and the programme will be available to listen back to for up to 30 days.

🚫 The Ultimate Guide to Double White Lines: Overtaking & Parking Rules ⚪️⚪️
Do you know exactly what you can and cannot do when you see double white lines on the road? Many drivers get caught out by these markings, but the Highway Code is very clear on both overtaking and parking.

Here is everything you need to know to stay safe and legal under Rules 129 and 240!

1️⃣ Moving: When Can You Cross a Solid Line? (Rule 129)
When the line nearest to you is solid, you MUST NOT cross or straddle it. However, there are a few very specific, legal exceptions.

You may only cross or straddle the solid line if it is safe, the road is clear, and you are:

Turning off the road: To enter a side road, a driveway, or any adjoining premises.

Passing a stationary vehicle: To get around a vehicle that is completely stopped (not just waiting in traffic).

Overtaking extremely slow-moving road users: You can cross to pass a pedal cycle, a horse, or a road maintenance vehicle—but only if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

2️⃣ Parking: Can You Park Next to Double White Lines? (Rule 240)
The short answer is no. You MUST NOT stop or park on any road marked with double white lines.

The Broken Line Myth: This rule applies even if the broken line is on your side of the road. If double white lines are present, parking on the carriageway is illegal because it forces oncoming traffic to dangerously cross a solid line to get past you.

⚖️ The Only Exceptions to Rule 240:
You may only pause briefly on the carriageway if you are:

Picking up or setting down passengers

Loading or unloading goods

💡 Driving Test Tip:
Whether you are a learner preparing for your practical test or an experienced driver brushing up on your skills, mastering these markings is essential for keeping our roads safe. Plan ahead, hold back when you need to, and never park where you obstruct the flow of traffic! 🚘

Pop quiz time! 🧠💥 Can you read the road?

Take a close look at the picture ahead. You're on a single carriageway country road, there are no immediate speed limit signs in view, and there’s a junction joining from the left.

If this is a standard single carriageway with no signs, the National Speed Limit applies. But here is the real test:

1️⃣ What is the absolute maximum speed limit for a car here?
2️⃣ Does that limit change if you are driving a van or towing a trailer? 🚚
3️⃣ Just because a road has a specific limit, does it mean it's safe to drive at that speed?

Country lanes can be highly deceptive with hidden dips, blind bends, and unexpected road users around the corner.

Drop your answers and thoughts in the comments below! 👇 Let's see who gets it right.
