Tomorrow night I am the guest speaker at the Severn Advanced Motorcycle Group in Gloucester. The subject is the investigation proces with some quite graphic photos and I explain what I do and how it differs to the Police and insurance investigation. If you are a member and planning to be there, do c...

Re; "the technology already exists", perhaps the fact that the vehicle operator is not usually the sole occupant is the basis for not adopting signal blocking.?? Apparently the technology exists that can detect whether the person whose phone it is is in the drivers seat or one of the pass...

If anyone is interested, this will give you a flavour of what was said. This was with BFBS Radio. The interviews with the other stations went pretty much along the same lines https://soundcloud.com/hudgellsolicitors/mobile-madness-using-your-phone-at-the-wheel" onclick="window.open(this.hr...

Like you mentioned, each fatality on the road costs a minimum of £1m (that's the figure I was told by a coroner) I had the figures through last week. £1.4 million os the average cost per fatality. I did see the cost per category, pensioner age was around £125,000, motoryclist was around £800,000 (I...

I think the police are doing a worse job but only as a function of being over-stretched in the first place. Also, I rarely see a copper patrolling these days. think I have seen maybe 3 this month besides traffic police that have pulled cars over on the motorway or dual carriageways And you won't wh...

Did interviews with 14 radio stations across the country this morning all one after the other with 15 minutes allowed for each one. I was bloody knackered by the time we finished, but hey ho all in a good cause.

It is also about the fact that once you start holding the phone, texting and so on, not only is it concentration but potentially 50% of your control of the vehicle goes as well.

Tomorrow I have to be up at 5am, in London for 7.45 and geared up for multiple radio interviews around the country during the day as a road safety expert and regarding our safety campaign relating to the turning off of mobile phones whilst driving. I have been doing my homework in preparation for an...

This is a bit of a long shot, but if you don't ask you don't get. I am looking for someone who has been involved in a crash either on the bike or in the car where the cause of the crash was as a result of someone being distracted because they were using their mobile phone or texting. On top of that,...

I'm disappointed TC As a professional in the area of safety, I would've thought you would have applied the hierarchy of risk control and as you well know the first method of risk mitigation is elimination. It's obvious you could have elimination the risk. Should've got your wife to do it for you (l...

Last night I felt the first pangs of a headache developing, so I thought I would pop a couple of paracetomol and nip it in the bud before it really developed. So, went into the first aid/medication pot pulled out a packet and as I popped a tablet out I pricked the end of my thumb with the foil wrapp...

PS.....Thank You for your service.

Eynsham Hall.

Blimey, I was 4. Does that help you feel any better? :D It is a different service now, for good and bad. But it's a different community the police have to serve, different attitudes, different approaches to dealing with people, different values. No, it doesn't make me feel any better ;) I hear what...

15th September 1975, I joined the Police service and started my first day of training. 41 years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday and I am still in touch with a few who joined the same day as me (who went onto much higher ranks I hasten to add), but makes you wonder where all the time h...

I do see quite a lot of road riders out in one piece kit, but struggle to understand why.? (other than the bling aspect) There's a reasonable discussion about 1 vs 2 piece here that also quotes T.C. http://www.therevcounter.co.uk/threads/33245-One-versus-two-piece-leathers" onclick="windo...

Bloody hell T.C. I really hope you recover quickly that sounds awful. I hate how some companies do that, absolutely ludicrous how they think that's fine and make up their own rules [GRIMACING FACE] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Some Law firms are the worst of the lot. They think that becau...

Hope you had a great birthday T.C. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk No, it was crap :( Seriously On Monday before, I was down in Hove on business when I fell down some steps in the heavy rain we had that day. It was my own fault as I slipped. Although only suffering from bruising, it was damm...
