Following my recent posts, it now appears that 94 driving licences have been removed in the wake of the recent driving test translation fraud case. If you didn’t follow the original news, these licences are being removed after an interpreter admitted selling candidates the answers to the driving written test. On the back of this case, […]
Found this: Was amused . . Thought I’d share: that is all. . ! 😉 Stay safe folks! Chris www.chrischambers-som.com https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=608871692486866&set=a.383726825001355.92835.245201678853871&type=1
So there I was: a beautiful sunny day, window half-way down, shades on with Jay-Z bellowing in my ears. . . Nice! I arrive at the traffic lights; pop the hand brake on, back into neutral, sitting there minding my own business. . . as you do. In many ways an idyllic scene. What I […]

I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions over the years about the importance of a positive attitude to driving. My colleagues and I work extremely hard through our work to develop, and even in many cases change, attitudes […]

Google are currently in the process of rolling out their latest gadget, Google Glass, across the US, and the technology is expected to be on our shores early next year.

Oops! I had to say goodbye to yet another student today . . . ! 😉 Today’s delighted and fully deserved recipient of a shiny new full driving licence is Liam Lusk of Houghton-le-Spring who passed his driving test today (31.07.13) like a champion at Sunderland DTC with Chris Chambers School of Motoring!

They say that a picture can say a thousand words . . . The law on seatbelts was introduced on 31 January 1983 which required all drivers to wear a seatbelt. Around this time it is thought that 90% (yes, that many!) of front-seat passengers were also wearing seatbelts. If memory serves, it was circa […]
