Hello peeps. As many of you will know some really bad weather is about to hit us and last over the festive period. Reading about it on BBC news the line 'give high sided vehicles plenty of room' gave me an idea for a blog post. So here it is! Many people who have very little motorway experience take to the road at this time of year.

He's a mechanic at a fantastic garage and he did the test so he could drive their rally car lorry seen here with the vans. Happy weekend all.
