Sharon Huddleston and Dr Ian Greenwood share the heartbreaking stories behind their campaigns for safer roads.

They discuss graduated driving licensing, why inexperience rather than deliberate law-breaking can place young drivers and their passengers at risk, and the continued reluctance of successive governments to act despite decades of evidence.

The conversation also explores the wider impact of road death, the importance of language, the support provided by Forget Me Not Families Uniting, and how campaigning has helped Sharon and Ian keep their daughters’ memories alive.

Crucially, they consider the role driving instructors can play right now, helping young drivers and their families understand risks involving passengers, night-time driving, rural roads and the difficult first months after passing.

AI is everywhere right now, writing posts, creating images, answering questions, and promising to save us time. But is it actually helping… or are we creating a whole new set of problems?

In this episode, I’m joined by AI educator Colette Mason to dig into the growing world of “AI slop”, low-quality, inaccurate, AI-generated content that’s flooding social media and beyond.

We explore the dangers of blindly trusting AI, from misinformation and privacy concerns to losing our own critical thinking and creativity. We also discuss where AI can genuinely help, where it absolutely shouldn’t replace human judgment, and how driving instructors can use it responsibly.

This isn’t an anti-AI episode.

Use AI as a tool, just don’t let it do your thinking for you.

What happens when you take five specific problems from the driver training world and try to solve each one in just 15 minutes?

In this episode, five mystery guests bring five very different challenges to the table. Some are practical, some are bigger-picture, and some may just send us down a few unexpected rabbit holes.

Who are the guests? What are the problems? And do we actually solve any of them?

You’ll have to listen to find out.

It’s a slightly different format, but one packed with ideas, challenge, reflection and practical takeaways for ADIs who want to think a little deeper about what they do.
