The following are articles which have either been written by me or have been written about the work I have done. I hope you find them interesting.

I am particularly interested in automatics, road markings, the elderly and the disabled and so will usually comment from my experience on issues which are raised in the local press especially if in my opinion they give a biased viewpoint concerning these matters.   Thankfully not everyone agrees with my views, but I have never found it detrimental to my work and not only have I had interesting contacts but I regularly get people who phone me to say -
