Election Special - The Motormouth Manifesto Artwork

DIA Motormouth

Unlike a webinar or traditional industry podcast, we'll be pulling together leading figures in their fields to discuss, dissect and debate key issues for driver and rider trainers. Known as a Motormouth myself and not afraid of a bit of ruck, we'll be asking challenging questions and discussing challenging views with people who like to challenge the status quo. We'll either have you shouting at your screen or cheering us on! I'll be joined by established and well-known figures or organisations in or impacting our world - but also those new on the scene, so we get a good mix of experienced insights and fresh viewpoints.

Election Special - The Motormouth Manifesto

July 05, 2024 • Carly Brookfield • Season 2 • Episode 2

In this Election Special episode, DIA CEO Carly, regular panellist and ADI Chris Bensted and special guests (including an ADI running as a candidate himself!) will be discussing what should be in any political party’s manifesto when it comes to developing driver and rider training and testing in the UK.

In the DIA Manifesto Survey we’ve been running over the last few weeks, we’ve been asking members for their insights on what any new government should consider in terms of developing policy, strategy, and legislation in respect of driver and rider training, testing, and licensing in the UK.

Our loquacious, and experienced lobbyist herself, DIA CEO Carly will be joined by regular panellist Chris Bensted (an equally passionate voice for promoting positive change in driver training). Giving us the viewpoint from the Rider Training side we have respected rider trainer, wider rider education and safety campaigner (and our very own Chief Motorcycle Examiner) Mark Jaffe.

Plus, we’ve also invited along some other special guests, never shy of expressing their views when it comes to what should change in driver and rider training, testing and licensing in the UK. Arguably a widely respected ‘statesman’ of the driver training industry, we’re thrilled to have Vice Chair of MSA (and current NASP Chair) Peter Harvey MBE with us on this episode. And we’ll also be hearing the thoughts of an ADI who’s actually running as a candidate in this election!
