The driver and fireman on board guest loco 31806 at the Winter Steam Gala, Great Central Railway, Loughborough on 29th January 2016.
This driver was too impatient to wait for the police to open the intersection, so she drove into the crowd of 5,000 marchers.
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

Both First and Stagecoach are heavily advertising driver recruitment at present as the supply of willing driver recruits dries up.
There are a number of HGV and van delivery firms also vying for drivers with Pizza Hut offering £100 in cash to anyone who joins them.

The front seats of cars are popular settings for panoramas; On one hand you have the challenging confined space (and panorama photographers like a challenge), and on the other hand you have the car industry that actually spends a whole lot of money to on marketing their products. Nevertheless, in the more than 10 years I have been doing panoramas, I have not shot a single car interior. Until yesterday ;-)

The tramway has three main stations, a lower station named "Victoria" after the hotel that formerly occupied the station site, a middle one aptly named 'Halfway', and the Great Orme Summit station. Passengers must change trams at the Halfway station as upper and lower funicular sections are physically separate.

Today 179 came back from Hanover displays having had its destination screen fixed. Always when the buses come back from there they have the old destinations programmed in as Hanover must still have 2007's screen list on their computer system. Here we see N179 DWM showing Driver Training L.
Me, Phil Edye, and Robert Mitchell, proudly stand before one of the few Holdens loaned by the local Hornsby Holden Dealership, for our two week Driver Education Course.
We were going to be tracked by Dr. Ian Henderson?? of the UNSW driver safety unit for years. I'm still alive, with an accident free record, apart from one little dingle from a spin-out on the Jenolan dirt road on a later caving trip in Mum's Standard.

We were taught there are no such things as "accidents"..

I must not have been as good at the practical, they didn't teach fast driving on winding mountain dirt roads to Jenolan Caves!!
Then I got a Beetle and learnt all about oversteer on gravel roads, on many caving trips around NSW and WA.
An article I cut out from the Canberra Times of 6-3-85
Driving Tip of the Week
A defensive driver is one who drives in a manner to prevent accidents, regardless of other drivers' faulty driving or non-compliance with traffic laws; one who is careful not to commit any driving errors himself and makes makes allowances for the lack of skill or judgement, or for an improper attitude on the part of another driver, one that does not allow hazards of weather, road conditions, absence of signs or signals to involve him in a collision or dangerous situation.
A defensive driver is prepared for the unexpected at intersections, from parked cars, where reversing, sudden stops by others or darting pedestrians. He is not caught in that last-second futile attempt to avoid an accident. He has a plan for his own and others' safety. This plan involves the ever-changing situations faced on the road.
He learns to overcome personal inadequacies and those of the vehicle. He studies the environment for hazards that cannot be eliminated, but which must be compensated for.
A defensive driver can arrive at a destination having experienced the minimum number of incidents.
Paul Glover, Motoring Writer in the Canberra Times
also wrote an article titled....
"No such thing as an accident"
Is there such a thing as a road accident?
Not a crash, or a collision, or an impact, or a head-on, but a genuine accident. An incident, perhaps fatal, which qualifies as a pure accident.
The sort of event where no-one is really to blame, and where fate or luck or whatever is the only explanation for a crazy out-of-kilter happening....
He goes on to explain why the road safety experts don't think so....
I wish the the press and NRMA would stop calling them accidents...
