Page 4 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 133 ~~~~~~~~ Editorial ~~~~~~~~ Greetings to all Members and Associates, You would probably imagine that with the best part of three months lockdown and social distancing, there would be little to write about in this June Issue #133 of “Forward Vision”; but this is just not the case now that Government restrictions are very gradually easing and motorists are starting to take to the roads again. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has created situations for all of us that required even more information being sent to you in the form of an additional and interim monthly magazine ~ “In Touch” ~ just to keep you informed of what was happening within both IAM RoadSmart and our Chelmsford Group; together with some practical advice as to how to cope as a motorist during the lockdown. I hope you all have found the “In Touch” magazine both instructive and useful because it is my intention to continue producing and publishing “In Touch” as an infill magazine during the non-”Forward Vision” months for the foreseeable future. I also thought long and hard about whether to lighten the mood with some humour bearing in mind the very serious situation we are all facing currently; however, I concluded that as bad as everything is, we all needed cheering up a little bit! Whatever, I regret to say that this edition of “Forward Vision” contains necessary cautionary words for you all within “Getting Back On The Road” because the effects of lockdown and social distancing are bubbling out to affect us all as restrictions are gradually eased and we all start driving again. I am neither a Mathematician, nor a Statistician, but I wanted to work out for myself just how accurate the forecasts and predictions I have been reading about and researching actually are before publishing my conclusions here in “Forward Vision”. I can assure you all that I have thoroughly investigated both the sources and the actual data I have presented within the article and it is actually my Maths that has produced near parallel confirmation that what I am presenting is actually correct. This is really concerning and I urge you all to take close and very serious heed to “Getting Back On The Road” for both your Safety and Finances. Continued... Page 5 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 133 ...Continued The Chelmsford Group Committee have not been idle and twiddling their thumbs whilst all IAM RoadSmart activities have been suspended due to lockdown. In fact, Committee Members email boxes have been bursting with suggestions and discussions as to how we, as a Group, can maintain contact and re-introduce any form of activities for the benefit of our Members and Associates. This, of course, has necessarily needed the Committee to heed both the current legislation and evolving advice issued by the Government as well as ensure the safety of our Members ~ Hence, we have trialled Zoom Committee Meetings. Consequently, I am pleased to announce of behalf of the Chelmsford Group Committee that we will be introducing “Virtual Group Nights” via Zoom with effect from 8th June being our normal second Monday in the month Group Night and thereafter. A long term date for your Diary is the September 14th “Virtual Group Night” via Zoom which will also be the Chelmsford Group’s Annual General Meeting for which you will all receive invitations via email to join the meeting and ability to “propose and vote”. Those of you without email will receive written postal “propose and vote” forms. You may imagine that with lockdown I would not be able to continue my article from the last edition of “Forward Vision” March 2020 Issue #132; in respect of my detailed “Long Term Test and Technology Comparison” between my two Marks of Skoda Octavia vehicles ~ Just because I would not have driven and actually been anywhere. You would be wrong! In fact and in reality, I am both an NHS / Royal Voluntary Services Responder, and an Essex County Council / Essex Welfare Services (EWS) Responder, providing SafeGuarding Visits to, and Emergency Transportation for treatment of the Vulnerable, Sick, and Isolated. Consequently, during lockdown, I have legitimately driven well over 2,500 miles throughout the whole of Essex and clocked up over 1,500 hours on voluntary duties. This has enabled me to thoroughly explore the Autonomous features of my new Mk 3 vehicle and make some keen observations in comparison to my older Mk 2 vehicle. Moreover, the “Driver Assist” features have already “assisted” me in conjunction with my Advanced Driver skills in avoiding a “Crash for Cash” attempt back in December when I had only owned the vehicle for Eight Days! ~ More on that in this Issue. Stay Alert. Control the Virus. Save Lives, & Drive Safely, Simon Bolingbroke Page 6 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 133 Join the Chelmsford Group for a virtual Group Night via Zoom on June 8th at our usual meeting time of 20:00 Our Chairman, Rak Rehal has organised a fun, interesting, and challenging Quiz Night To Join the Zoom Meeting using your Browser Simply Click on the Hyperlink below Topic: IAM Chelmsford Group Zoom Meeting Time: Jun 8, 2020 @ 20:00 London https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7710298290 Meeting ID: 771 029 8290 You will also receive an email invitation with this Hyperlink nearer the meeting date For technical support put a “0” before the Meeting ID Number and you have my Mobile Phone Number Electronic Back Issues of “Forward Vision” and “In Touch” are available to download from http://www.iamchelmsford.org.uk/ Page 7 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 133 Getting Back On The Road #1 Many people throughout the UK will not have driven for over Ten Weeks; whilst others will only have driven intermittently and then only to the nearest supermarket and back. There are going to be a number of factors that could potentially make driving a far more hazardous prospect for unwary drivers and I bet you have not thought of them. Cars & Condition The Government introduced an automatic six month extension at the end of March to MoT tests and detailed analysis of current surveys in conjunction with Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) statistics paint a frightening picture of exactly who you will be sharing the road with.

Newsletter of the Guildford & District Group of Advanced Motorists © GAM 2017 1 Registered Charity No. 1051069 Chairman’s message Graham Ranshaw – November 2017. My wife and I were lucky enough to have a holiday in South Africa recently and we drove around the Western Cape from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth via Franshhoek, Hermanus and Knysna. Our preconceived concerns about security, road quality and driving standards were unfounded however. It is generally recommended not to drive after dark, which is a good idea given how remote some of the areas are. The networks are very well signed and almost perfectly surfaced – e.g. unlike Surrey...! The standard of driving was very good and remarkably relaxed – we encountered no frustrating lane blocking, speeding, tailgating or any of the vices that the UK specialises in! The two mountain passes that we navigated were exceptional – the best one was from Franschhoek (Wine region) to Hermanus (Whale watching) - up to around 3000 ft and reminiscent of a good Alpine pass. Lovely wide, quiet, open roads with excellent sight lines, very few Lycra clad cyclists, a fair few BMW GS1200s and everyone respectful of using the same space. Our car was a Toyota Fortuner a large 4x4 seven seater – more than enough room for 4 people and 2 weeks of luggage.

Let's hope so: we've waited a long time this year. It's not, of course, only that good weather is nicer, but CSAM holds its events outside in the summer, so it really matters! I hope you'll enjoy this issue: it's full of interesting reports, articles, ideas, and the usual smattering of lighter material. Thanks, as always, to all the contributors.

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. ABSTRACT Airport road access wayfinding refers to a process in which a driver makes a decision to navigate using information support systems in order to arrive to airport successfully. The purpose of this research is to evaluate senior drivers’ behaviour of alternative airport road access designs. In order to evaluate the impact of wayfinding, the combination of simulated driving and completion of a questionnaire were performed. Quantitative data was acquired to give significant results justifying the research outcomes and allow non-biased interpretation of the research results. It represents the process within the development of the methodology and the concept of airport road access design and driving behaviour. Wayfinding complexity varied due to differing levels of road-side furniture. The simulated driving parameters measured were driving mistakes and performances of senior drivers.
