We are a friendly bunch, so don’t be worried about coming to our Group nights if you are on your own. Make yourself known to John who will greet you at the desk, he will find one of us to come and talk to you. John will also try to get you to part with some money for the raffle. There will be Senior Observers, Observers and generally an Examiner at the evening and you will be able to get answers to any questions that you have. Please come along, we’ll even give you tea or coffee and there is a bar - for light refreshments obviously! Terry Joyce

Electronic Newsletter & Emails Whilst new members have been getting their copy electronically for some time it would be helpful if more people joined in with the electronic age and did the same. We are not going to force anybody to move to electronic but we would appreciate it if you consider letting the newsletter editor know if you are willing to receive yours by email. In any event for the purpose of telling people about Group nights and the occasional event such as the skid pan it is useful to have as many e-mail addresses as possible so if you are not currently on our mailing list it would point to us not having your email address. Please let the newsletter editor know and he will pass it on.

Please let us know if you change your email address. Page 4

From the Chairman Launch of membership referral scheme I am pleased to finally announce the launch of the new referral scheme as highlighted in previous reports. Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in its launch. This is due to the recent rebranding by the IAM. We were aiming to start the scheme earlier in the year but held back to enable us to brand our material with the new livery. The rationale behind the scheme is to increase our membership, particularly to different demographic groups. It is believed that the new scheme will achieve this and is self funding. People in sales often talk about closing a deal. This is when the sale is completed, resulting in the purchaser being in the system to be contacted to finalise the sale. Over the years like many of us I have been engaged with people discussing the benefits of advanced driving. The audience is quite often hooked but there is no close. There is nothing in place to complete the sales process. We are all busy people and I have often left the conversation instructing those who were interested to google the IAM and purchase a product. This never happens. I believe we are missing many potential associates through lost sales opportunities. The idea is that member wishing to participate carry some small (wallet or purse) sized cards. When a similar situation arise and you are engaged in a conversation about the IAM you can simply fill out a card with minimal information. The card is then torn in half and one half is given to the interested person whilst the other half is handed in at the committee night. We will then contact that person. If an advanced driver course (previously Skill for Life) is sold then the nominating member will receive ÂŁ10 for every new associate. Some people have questioned the ethics around the scheme. Similar referral schemes are run by other organisations. Whilst I encourage people to claim the ÂŁ10 this is optional. Alternatively ÂŁ10 can be claimed and given to a charity. I hope this innovative is widely used and we get many new member. Please give your details to a committee member if you are interested in receiving the aforementioned cards. Regards Steve Wright Group Chair

Green, Go? Next time you are approaching a set of traffic lights, ask yourself what a green light means. If your answer is ‘go’, you are only half right. For full marks, you need to remind yourself that a green light does indeed mean go but only if it is safe to do so. I am reminded about this as my Nephew who lives in Los Angeles was wiped out recently as he drove his motorbike through a green light. He is alive but has fairly serious injuries that will affect him throughout his life. Ask yourself how long has it been green and what colour will it go to next? The longer it has been green, the sooner it will change. And there is only one colour next: amber. And amber doesn’t mean "speed up to get across the lights before they change". It means stop. And amber only goes to red next. So you can think of the green light as a possible red and adjust your position and speed to the road conditions. Remember to look behind you. These days, especially with congestion the way it is, I see more and more drivers prepared to risk an amber light or even a red light to get across a junction. That in turn means that we need an extra "defensive driving" technique to use. Even though the lights are "with you", always glance both ways as you approach the junction, to satisfy yourself that you can get across in safety. Terry Joyce

Roadcraft Chapter 8 covers Driver’s Signals. It goes on to say once you have taken the information in this chapter and with training, you should be able to: 

Demonstrate appropriate use of the full range of signals available to you in different situations

Show appropriate responses to and caution in interpreting signals given by others

Show that you make active use of courtesy signals.

I believe Information is the most important part of the system of driving because without it the system will not work. Giving information to other road users is a key part of the system.

The purpose of signals Signals inform other road users of your presence or intentions. Think before you signal. Indiscriminate signalling is not helpful to anyone. Give a signal whenever it could benefit other road users If you decide a signal is necessary, signal clearly and in good time. Timing is particularly important on roundabouts. Always make sure the meaning of your signal is clear. Sometimes a signal is not in itself enough to make your intentions clear and other road users may use your position and speed to interpret what your signals mean. For example when negotiating a roundabout your signal may be misinterpreted if you haven’t taken up the correct position for your intended exit.

Key points Consider the need to give a signal on the approach to every hazard and before you change direction or speed. Give a signal whenever it could benefit other road users.

Remember that signalling does not give you any special right to carry out the actions that you indicate. Follow the Highway Code—check your mirrors before you signal or manoeuvre and don’t forget a shoulder check.

Interpreting signals given by others You also need to be cautious about how you interpret the signals of other road users. For example, does a vehicle flashing the left-hand indicator mean that the driver intends to: Continued on Page11

Page 10

Issue 119


Roadcraft continued 

Park the vehicle, possibly immediately After a left-hand junction?

Turn into a left-hand junction?

Carry straight on, having forgotten to cancel the last signal?

The range of signals Below is a list of signals that Roadcraft says are available to you: indicators

hazard warning lights brake lights headlights position of your vehicle horn signals

arm signals courtesy signals (for example, raising a hand to thank another driver) Select the most effective signal for the job. Have you ever given an arm signal? Just a reminder below.

Advanced Driver Having introducing new qualifications for Observers IAM RoadSmart are now introducing slightly different course materials. The idea behind this is to bring everything up to date and more importantly standardise the course material nationally. Up to now it could vary significantly depending on which group you belong to. The material not only will help if you move and go to a different group but the Associate, their Observer and Examiner will be working from the same material. The system itself hasn’t changed but there is new thinking about various aspects of how it is delivered. I thought that I would share this with you. From the front cover you will see the How to be an Advanced Driver book has been replaced with the Advanced Driver Course Logbook. This has all the theory information that an Associate will need. The logbook has around 80 pages, so it will take quite a few issues to share it with you. So here goes, all the words below are from the logbook.

The bigger picture Advanced drivers should be able to drive in a safe smooth and efficient manner at all times. Through good observation, sensible anticipation and accurate planning, (OAP) combined with sound operation of their vehicle’s controls, they should deliver a comfortable, progressive drive for their passengers while maintaining safety. Modern driving aids such as satellite navigation systems, reversing cameras and auto park systems, are becoming more commonplace; used correctly, they can complement the skills of an advanced driver and enhance the overall experience. Appropriate use of such technology should therefore be encouraged. Combining well developed skills and understanding with developments in technology should make you into a ‘thinking driver’ and create a safer, more enjoyable driving experience.

IAM RoadSmart driving for your safety Dear Associate, This documentation will form the basis of your course and provide you with a description of the skills you will need to demonstrate to your Examiner in order to pass your test. However, this is not a stand-alone product, so please do not worry if some of this content appears confusing at first glance. The sessions you will undertake over the coming weeks with your group Observer will reinforce and enhance your understanding of the competencies. Your Observer will bring to life the behaviours, explain some of the terminology used and may also provide you with hand-outs and knowledge checks to assist your learning. Thank you for choosing IAM RoadSmart for your Driver training and may we wish you good luck as you commence your journey to becoming an Advanced Driver. Best wishes Your IAM RoadSmart Team That is the introduction Continued on Page 13 Page 12

Young Driver Scheme Do you know of anyone who is not 17 years of age, but wants to learn how to drive? Chelmsford IAM group supports this road safety scheme to give people the opportunity to learn basic car control skills in Driving School Dual Controlled cars on private land before they go on the public Highway. Lessons, lasting for one hour, are run on the third Sunday of most months at Earls Colne (near Coggeshall). There is an initial Registration Fee of ÂŁ40 which covers registration and the first one hour lesson. Subsequent lessons cost ÂŁ25. Lessons must be booked in advance. The scheme is intended primarily for 16 year-olds but, if vacancies permit, places may be offered to 15 year-olds or even to older people who are nervous about

getting behind the wheel (again, or for the first time). Full details of the scheme, a letter from Essex Police and a map may be viewed, and the application Form can be downloaded, from www.youngdriverscheme.org Alternatively, forms may be obtained from the YDS Organiser.

Smoke Signals I was driving along a main road and my Daughter was in the car with me. A car pulled out in front of me and accelerated hard, I assume to minimise the inconvenience to me. My car was the enveloped in a cloud of black smoke from his exhaust. My Daughter commented and one of the things that she said, was “surely that’s not legal”. It got me thinking, so I asked my mate Google and there were a number of articles by the daily newspapers and one on the GOV.UK website. It makes interesting reading. Today (21 April 2016) the UK government published its research into emissions levels from leading diesel car models, fulfilling a commitment to consumers to investigate potential manipulation of emission controls. The tests have not detected evidence of test cycle manipulation strategies as used by the Volkswagen (VW) Group. Tests have provided further evidence that nitrogen oxide (NOₓ) emissions are higher in real world conditions and on the test track than they are in laboratory conditions. This was the case for all manufacturers’ vehicles, with results varying significantly between different makes and models. Ninety-seven percent of all modern diesel cars emit more toxic nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution on the road than the official limit. Tests have been carried out on a total of 56 different vehicle types in Germany and 37 different vehicle types in the UK, over a period of 6 months. The Vehicle Certification Agency on behalf of the Department for Transport tested a representative selection of the UK’s top selling diesel vehicles. The findings provide a snapshot of exhaust emissions from those diesel models when tested in the laboratory, on a test track and during typical road use. Existing lab tests designed to ensure emission limits are met have been shown to be inadequate and this is why the UK has secured a tough new Europe-wide ‘real driving emissions’ test. From next year, vehicles will have to meet emissions limits in real driving conditions across a wide range of typical operating temperatures. This will improve consumer confidence in manufacturers. The UK will be working to ensure that the new rules for real driving emissions and type approval are robust, deliver the expected outcomes and that manufacturers behave consistently.

Continued on Page 17

Chelmsford Advanced Motorists

Issue 119


Smoke Signals continued

Even before the introduction of the new limits, the UK government has been urging manufacturers to introduce new technologies to reduce emissions sooner than the new EU regulations require. Some manufacturers have announced that they intend to make changes to vehicles already in use to improve emissions, and will offer this to customers on a voluntary basis. The UK government welcomes this and encourages action from other manufacturers. The report provides a valuable insight into car emissions and will inform the ongoing work being done by the UK, Germany and across Europe to improve the testing of new vehicles. Next month the government will present the research published today to European Research for Mobile Emission Sources, the body responsible for collating vehicle emission data, to inform their updated emissions factors later this year. This will ensure EU-wide emission factors more accurately reflect the difference between real world driving and laboratory test conditions.

Do you always believe temporary road signs? My pet irritation is "Road Closed Ahead" signs. More often than not, it means that some side road off the road that I am travelling on has been closed and so the sign can be ignored and I can proceed on my way without hestiation or deviation. In a minority of occasions, it actually means "This road is closed ahead", which of course means a major rethink or enter unprepared into the risky game of "follow the diversion signs", which so often (even without the antics of local vandals) are incomplete or confusing. Why do the highways authorities and their contractors continue to use - and misuse - this sign? Surely it needs either two alternative signs or a reversible plate to prefix it with either "This" or "Side". Tony Groves ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IAM RoadSmart will be attending and exhibiting at the increasingly popular Kop Hill Climb event in Buckinghamshire later this month, along with its mature driver ambassador race and rally legend Paddy Hopkirk. A mystery guest, currently on a peak-time TV show, will also be making an appearance on the IAM RoadSmart stand. Paddy, who won the 1964 Monte Carlo and 1967 Acropolis Rallies, as well as competing at the Le Mans 24 Hours and countless events around the world, will be racing a replica of his famous Monte Carlo Mini at the event. Last year the event attracted more than 16,000 visitors. Paddy has also taken the Advanced Driver test twice – 27 years apart. The Kop Hill Climb is a spectacular event which grows in stature year on year. Hundreds of cars and motorbikes are brought in by their owners to take part in the hill run, which are all waved off by flag in traditional racing style. The Kop Hill Climb takes place on 17 and 18 September at Kop Hill Road, Princes Risborough, Bucks, HP27 0LB. For more information visit www.kophillclimb.org.uk Page 18

A New Hazard Created For many years, Danbury has had a double mini-roundabout at the cross-roads at Eve's Corner, where roads from Little Baddow and Bicknacre cross the A414 from Chelmsford to Maldon. About 50m each side are light-controlled pedestrian crossings, one of which is between the car park entrances to the busy Co-op store.

Recently, the highways authority have installed part-time traffic lights on the roads from Little Baddow and Bicknacre - one operating during the morning peak and the other in the afternoon peak. They are intended to maximise traffic flow on the busy main road, but the one on the road from Bicknacre has introduced a new hazard. As the photo shows, the stop line is set a little way back from the junction, but even when the lights are green, traffic on the main road is not stopped and the mini-roundabout rules still apply, so the driver who has just accelerated away from the lights has to brake almost immediately to give way to other traffic - not what one expects at light-controlled cross-roads. As the road is uphill until the junction, a driver does not get a clear view of the junction ahead.

This unusual and unexpected situation has led to several instances of squealing brakes! Allegedly, the controller is connected in some way to those for each set of pedestrian crossings, but no-one has found out whether one influences the other. Tony Groves Page 19

Driving with young children can sometimes be stressful when trying to keep an eye on both them and the road. Last week was back-to-school for many and a new wave of under-fives will be going to nursery. Here are some safety tips for driving with young children from IAM RoadSmart’s head of driving and riding standards, Richard Gladman. Child car seats are a must. A child must use a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm tall, whichever comes first. There are different legal conditions around the type of child seats you can use based on the age and height of your child. If you’re unsure, seek professional advice from a child seat provider. You can find out more via http://www.goodeggcarsafety.com/ Make sure your child is as comfortable as possible and take off any thick coats as they can interfere with the correct operation of the child seat in a collision. Consider getting an extra child rear view mirror if you like to keep an eye on what’s happening on the back seat. Make sure it doesn’t obscure your forward view Pack for success. Bring your child’s favourite toys, games or books to keep them entertained whilst riding in the car. Playing games such as ‘I spy’, allows the child’s focus to be on the surroundings, making it easier for you to get to your destination. Be careful to not get distracted yourself Pack lots of small and healthy snacks. In case of a delay you want to be prepared, keeping a cooler bag with you packed with nibbles like carrot sticks, grapes, raisins, juice boxes is a great distraction Plan your journey. Try to arrange stops with the children in mind and let them burn off some energy.

Richard said: “If travelling a long distance try to arrange your travel to coincide with nap time or bed time – this may make for a more relaxing drive for you and the children. For short journeys encourage simple games. It not only distracts but can be educational too.” “Sometimes the entertainment is just listening to the conversations your children have when they think you are not listening. There are lots of blogs and tips on websites such as Mumsnet and Gransnet on achieving in-car happiness. And remember that if you do have to stop, make sure it’s in a safe place for you, your passengers and other road users.”

Letters & emails On all matters relating to motoring and the Chelmsford Group, this newsletter or your experiences in preparing for or taking your test are most welcome.

Hi, I am writing as I have just completed a Skill for Life course today having just passed my test under the watchful eyes of examiner Derek Wheddon. I am really grateful for the guidance and training received throughout and I am very pleased to have reached the required standard with the IAM. I have enjoyed the course immensely and the fact that I have had a successful outcome today is entirely down to the skill, approach, and guidance of my excellent Observer Scott Bannister. My mock test was expertly presided over by Pat Clements, who provided a very helpful experience and useful scene-setter for the test proper. The test itself, overseen by Derek, was surprisingly a really enjoyable process. Derek- whilst obviously hugely experienced- is a really nice chap and quickly put me at ease. During the test he passed on many valuable, practical, and knowledgeable tips. In reality it was just another observed drive. Although the weather was a bit dirty everything went pretty well, and I was confidently able to put what I had been taught by Scott into practice with encouragement and in a relaxed atmosphere; all in all a solid endorsement of Derek and Scott's professionalism and the entire process as a whole. I absolutely recommend the course not only in terms of personal development but also as a positive contribution towards road safety. Not least it is a fun and enjoyable process! With thanks and appreciation to Scott, Pat, Derek, and the entire IAM team. Kind regards, Dave Onyons Maldon, Essex.

‘My Holiday Pics’

Here are a couple of pictures from my holiday in Australia

Anzac Bridge in Sydney, taken from the Sydney Tower.

. On a mountain road in Queensland. I think they were just making sure you knew it was a bend. These roads were a joy to drive on. There was virtually no traffic on them, you just needed to keep an eye out for wildlife.
