🚗 Support IAM RoadSmart’s Big Give Christmas Challenge! 🚗
This week, I’m proud to support IAM RoadSmart’s Big Give Christmas Challenge, running from 3–10 December. We’re raising £25,000 to help young drivers (17–26) access circuit-based Skills Days & Advanced Driver and Rider courses to develop life-saving road safety skills.
Here’s why it matters:
✅ Every donation made during this week is matched, doubling the impact of your generosity.
✅ Your support helps remove financial barriers, giving young people access to life-changing training.
✅ Together, we can reduce road incidents in the UK and build safer communities for everyone.
🎁 Make a donation today and help us double the difference we can make: https://www.iamroadsmart.com/the-big-give-2024
Can’t donate? Please share this post to spread the word! Together, we can make a difference.

-----------------------------
This Christmas, why not swap the cost of an everyday treat for a donation that makes a lasting impact? Every pound you donate is doubled!
If you donate £10 with gift aid - we would receive £22.50 to help young people gain the road skills, they need to stay safe.
£5 – For the price of a takeaway coffee, you could help a young person gain essential skills to reduce road incidents.
£10 – The cost of a quick lunch out could fund vital safety training, giving a young driver the confidence to make better decisions on the road.
£20 – Instead of a family pizza, your donation could support a young person’s introduction to advanced driving or riding techniques.
£50 – The cost of a dinner out with friends could provide critical training to a young driver or rider, equipping them with safer driving and riding practices.
£100 – For the price of a new gadget, you could fully fund advanced driver training for a young person, giving them tools to prevent incidents and save lives.
Every donation this Christmas makes twice the difference.

This Christmas, we are participating in the Big Give Christmas Challenge. We are hoping to raise £25,000 to empower young people to improve their skills, change their behaviours and advocate for safety for all road users. Please visit our campaign page to donate to The Big Give

A question we sometimes get asked during our training sessions. Useful information for all riders and drivers.

What should I do if I'm at a red light and an emergency vehicle needs to get through?

We get asked this quite a lot so hopefully this explains.

Emergency 'blue light' vehicles have three exemptions in law. Speed limits, red lights and keep left signs.

If we are looking to make progress with blue lights and siren, we are asking you to let us through.

If possible, move over to somewhere safe and allow us past. There's no need to mount kerbs or verges or make sudden moves. We won't come past until we know you have seen us.

If you are at a red light and you can let us through, please do so but we don't want you to go through the red light, moving aside is fine but going through the light isn't. Doing so is an offence and you can be fined or receive points for doing it. Similarly, going through a red light and ending up in a collision could place liability on you.

If we can't make progress we do something called effective non-use. The lights stay on, the siren goes off. This is saying 'I'd like to come through when I can'.

Other helpful things to consider would be not stopping dead in your tracks. Often it's safer to keep going and let us pass in a safe place.

Stopping on a bend, the brow of a hill or directly opposite another vehicle makes it harder to get past too. In these situations it's better that you keep going until the road opens up and we can pass safely when we have a view.

The bottom line is, we don't want you to commit offences to let us through, just make it easier for us to get past if you can.
