Bypass the DUI Car Lock
After being charged with DUI, some people are forced to install a device that locks the car until they pass a breath test, to make sure they are not driving while drunk. However, some people, like Lisa Dinucci, found a way around this device.
Dinucci is charged of persuading other people to take the breath test for her, so she can drive even if she drank. The police caught her, and she was accused of doing it twice.
Hopefully she will not drive again. We don't need murderers on the road.

Scotland Driving Tips
Driving test tips can be found easily in this blog, but Chris Cornell has some more to add here. Here are his tips.
Driving Test Tips to Pass the Exam
Passing the driving test is the only option to getting a valid driving license. The road and transport department specifies the types of test which consists of a series of theoretical and on the road test to gauge the students ability drive safe and not pose danger to others while on the road. Theoretical test includes lectures on basic rules and regulation of in that country, road signs recognition, and basic car maintenance knowledge. On the road test is aimed at testing student's ability to follow traffic rules, gauge student's reaction at any circumstances and ability to handle the car well.
Test specification may differ from one country to another. Following are various tests which all students must pass before being able to drive here legally.
Firstly, students must attend a five hours road safety course conducted by in house trainer from road and transport department. Here, all students are expected to learn about basic traffic rules and being able to identify all traffic signage. A booklet pertaining all subject matters will be handed out to students for reference.
After that, a written test ensues. There are forty five objectives questions only and students are only allowed a maximum of four mistakes to pass it. Therefore, a throughout reading and understanding of the booklet is utmost necessary. This test must be passed before student is allowed to proceed.
Next is the road test which requires all students to take certain hours of lessons. Training instructor will guide you through an open road test and a series uphill downhill driving, three point turns, and reverse parking. The car comes only with manual transmission therefore it required some getting used to.
A test ensues after completion of the training. The course of the test is similar to the ones used for the training. Therefore students must be well versed with the course layout and the vehicle especially the transmission before proceeding to take this final test.
Upon completion of all the tests, a driving license will be issued.
At the end, I'd like to share cool website with more information on topics like driving lessons Glasgow. Visit for more details.

Big City Drive
As every reader of this blog knows, I love driving. However, this love nearly ends when I enter the big city close to where I live. Driving there is a real nightmare. Sometimes I have no choice but go in there, and there is nothing I'd like to avoid more than that.
Last week I've been there. During rush hour. I regretted the second I entered the city. Traffic was heavy, and finding a parking spot was an impossible mission. I had to park far away from where I was going. A true nightmare.
Luckily, I don't plan on going there soon again. I had enough of it last week.
Have a great weekend!

First Time Driving: Bekah
Calm and peaceful. That's how every driving lesson should be. Bekah takes this sentence to perfection. Watch one of the most calm lessons ever shown on a Thursday in this blog.
This video was uploaded on March this year, so Bekah still has a long way to go until she gets her license. By the way she drives and by the way she learns, it looks like a guaranteed success.
Good luck!
