7039 (Y739 TGH) is one of a pair of former London Central Volvo B7TL Plaxton Presidents transferred from Go South Coast to Brighton and Hove at the back end of 2016 for driver training duties, on which the former PVL239 is seen in Rottingdean this afternoon, 28th February, 2017. As was the case with their previous owner, the removal of the instructors seat means that they can be used for special events such as football if needed.

Shooting from the drivers seat is largely underrated. I wouldn't recommend doing it in the city, but when you are driving from Las Vegas through Utah to Gran Canyon North Rim and back in one day you don't have the time to stop everywhere ......
This lovely stretch of road is somewhere on highway 89 in Utah or even Arizona. View large on black.
Google’s Sebastian Thrun would like to put an end to humans driving cars on public roadways.
Instead, the car just drives itself, day and night. Some lucky Google engineers are chauffeured to work each day around Silicon Valley in these cars, crossing bridges, toll booths and pedestrian crosswalks.
Here are photos and video of my high speed ride in a Google robocar — the ultimate driving machine.
Quotes from Thrun’s TED Talk, which just went live:
“We have driven 140,000 miles and people didn’t even notice.”
“Driving accidents are the number one cause of death for young people, and almost all of those are due to human error, not machine error, that could be definitely be prevented by machine.”
“We could change the capacity of highways by a factor or 2 or 3 if we didn’t rely on human precision to stay in the lanes, but on robotic precision… and do away with all traffic jams on highways.”
“You spend an average of 52 minutes per day in traffic wasting your time on your daily commute. There are 4 billion hours wasted in this country alone, and 2.4B gallons of gasoline wasted.”
“I am looking forward to a time when generations after look back at us and say how ridiculous it was that humans were driving cars.”
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"..
Always be in the right gear at the right place at the right speed at the right time! RMLAID

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...

A Royal Air Force Reservist Military Driver of 606 Squadron is pictured at the wheel during a training weekend at RAF Benson.
On the 18th & 19th January 2014 personnel of RAF Reservist 606 (Chiltern) Squadron attended a training weekend at RAF Benson.
All personnel were given a familiarisation flight in the new Puma 2 helicopter from 33 Squadron based at RAF Benson before they split into their relevant trade groups to carry out trade specific training.
606 Squadron was formed in 1996 as the helicopter support squadron, with the Queen granting it its existing number and title three years later. They have 180 Reservists working in diverse areas such as logistics and flight operations.
It is the only RAF Reserves unit that operates with the Joint Helicopter Command. It has a particularly close relationship with the flying squadrons at RAF Benson: 28 (AC) and 78 (B) Squadron (flying Merlin helicopters), and 33 and 230 Squadron (flying the Puma helicopter).
They are often employed around the world supporting RAF Benson assets on operations, training for operations or on other exercises.
All of their roles focus on providing first-class back-up to those flying the missions. Many are also trained to operate as helicopter underslung load teams.
Logistics Drivers and Suppliers are, in addition to their main role, trained in providing fuel to helicopters at remote locations.

Lucky were the drivers to operate our new Volvo hybrids on their first day and I had a great journey in number 4 from Easter Road back up to town. My driver Raymond, seen here, was very happy to be working this vehicle and we chatted at the terminus during the lay-over about the new fleet.
On the journey you immediately feel a smooth and gentle flow and I would never have guessed we were riding over all the Edinburgh pot-holes so effortlessly and without any bumps at all. It's great to hear the voice of the same pretty girl as on the Enviro 400 deckers in service information announcements along the route for every stop no less, and this is complimented with a tv monitor showing the map diagram and how long it takes in minutes between various locations. This is a marvellous invention.
The bell to alight is virtually silent and perhaps the most disconcerting thing is when the bus goes into battery-mode...effectively cutting out completely which seems to happen almost every stop or two without any pattern or warning. The bus then continues as if on air!
One thing all the drivers would have noticed on this day was the number of photographers , virtually all day at nearly every stop - the most snapped at drivers in Britain I'd say! And a cheery bunch I saw for sure.
Driver's view of an EMD train locomotive. Used LIghtroom and Silver Efx Pro to convert to black and white.
Best viewed in lightbox full screen. From the driver's cabin of a new Bombardier-Downer Rail EMU being tested by QR and shown to NZlanders as possible electric fleet for Auckland (part of my job at the time). I took the shot because it is not often you have the opportunity from this pov - similar to entry to the cabin of an aircraft.
