More than 18,000 vehicles are being used in the UK without proper records of where their owners live, part of an increasing problem of ghost owners who cannot be held accountable for their driving.

Intoxalock spokesperson Rachael Larson confirmed that the company had been hit by a cyberattack, stating that they took steps to temporarily pause some of their systems as a precautionary measure.

At Stellantis headquarters, driving a company car gets you the best parking spots - but driving anything else can get you the boot. When the Jeep parent company ordered employees back to the office five days a week at its Auburn Hills, Michigan campus, workers discovered that parking a Tesla or Hyundai in a spot reserved for Stellantis vehicles could earn them a ticket from security.

All truckers and pass drivers will have to take their commercial driver's license tests in English as the Trump administration expands its aggressive campaign to improve safety in the industry and get unqualified drivers off the road. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the latest effort Friday to ensure that drivers understand English well enough to read road signs and communicate with law enforcement officers. Florida already started administering its tests in English.

The UK driving theory test lasts approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes in total. It is divided into two separate sections: Multiple-choice section - 57 minutes Hazard perception test - approximately 20 minutes Although the actual testing time is just over an hour, you should expect your full appointment at the test centre to last around 90 minutes, including identity checks and instructions. Understanding this structure early allows learners to practise under timed conditions - something frequently recommended by approved driving instructors.

The changes, introduced as part of Governor Kathy Hochul's broader push to crack down on dangerous driving, are designed to make it easier for the state to identify repeat offenders and pull risky drivers off the road. The big headline? Points will linger longer-and you'll need fewer of them to trigger a suspension review. Under the new rules, the suspension threshold drops from 11 points to 10, meaning the margin for error just got slimmer.

Initially, £300 million was put forward as the maximum value of procurement, to run the service from September 2028 to September 2033, with a possible one-year extension. The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency later published two more notices, both putting the same price tag on the work, but to run the service for a maximum of seven years. In the most recent notice published last week, the maximum value went up to £700 million - excluding tax - for a maximum of nine years from September 2028 until September 2037.

American families should have confidence that our school bus and truck drivers are following every letter of the law and that starts with receiving proper training before getting behind the wheel, Duffy said.

The sudden closure derailed his career plans. A trucking job was a path forward, he said, a way to earn a better living than his current rotation of gig jobs, such as putting up blinds and detailing cars. He had quit working, paid about $2,000 in tuition and fees to attend the trucking school and was hiring a babysitter to take care of his two kids so he could attend class for a few hours each day.
