[@TheTruth-dy8ze]

After watching this video. It would appear that it’s not up to date. 1Doing first aid on someone could end up in court for improper treatment, in the USA one is told not to remove a person from a vehicle unless it will catch fire. 2 So my teenage daughter driver is supposed to know that steering vibration is tire balance, many issues can cause this it’s just indicative of a need to look at why. 3 Change down a gear on a steep hill, kind of hard to do when driving an automatic plus automatic brakes can handle being used for constant braking. 4 Pulling on the handbrake if you have one as a courtesy in traffic is not so smart with cars now having e brakes. 5 Why does the uk have so many names for pedestrian crossings. I remember Zebra was a name used, Panda was a name used now Puffin. No wonder the drivers are being confused into a fail situation. So if somebody dresses their dog with yellow or burgundy colored clothing we need to assume they are blind or deaf. Not so smart it should be an official dayglow issued dog jacket. Too many rules and yet I see that there are just as many accidents in the uk as other countries. So how does this testing help, it’s really how you handle the car and road smarts that should have more emphasis.

[@GaffaTV]

A couple of questions - feel free to call me stupid. Question 3 is about Highway's Agency Traffic Officers, and we learn and know that they have no enforcement powers. 1) with that said, why should anyone ever obey whatever comes from someone driving those vehicles, eg any signage from their vehicle, if indeed there is electronic signage conveying an instruction? The only thing they could really do - if they don't have enforcement powers - is to contact the police, but then I'd be questioning whether that was worth everyone's time. 2) Obviously we can only see one angle of the photo, but at 4:08, there's absolutely zero "helping the flow of traffic" when all the lanes of the main carriageway are blocked and traffic has come to a halt... Referencing my earlier question, if indeed there were no police around, what's to stop the black BMW in the outside lane (or any other traffic) just ignoring the Highway's Agency Traffic Officer(s)? Obviously "common sense" (that seems to be less-than-common these days) should prevail and people shouldn't really be making any situations worse with their conduct, but I'm just interested in the "what ifs" here. Maybe it's as simple as 'disobeying an instruction from a HATO could lead to a fine".

[@alan9911]

Highways Agency Traffic Officers have powers to stop vehicles on most motorways and some ‘A’ class roads, in England only. If HA traffic officers in uniform want to stop your vehicle on safety grounds (e.g. an insecure load) they will, where possible, attract your attention by • flashing amber lights, usually from behind • directing you to pull over to the side by pointing and/or using the left indicator. You MUST then pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Then switch off your engine. It is an offence not to comply with their directions. Law RTA1988, sects 35 &163 as amended by TMA 2004, sect 6
