Paul Ripley: The "Driving Doctor" PDF Print E-mail

ImageThe similarities between bad health and bad driving are real, quite alarming and - sometimes - downright dangerous!
 
Many people ask Paul how he acquired the nickname, the “Driving Doctor”.  The answer is simple; he got the tag when he used to make weekly appearances on Channel 4 TV’s motoring program, ‘Driven’.

Paul’s role in the show was to prescribe safety “tablets” and “remedies” to drivers who needed to improve their practices and attitudes.  Many guests invited on to the program had poor driving records or needed to learn new skills, often following serious traffic accidents.   Paul would listen to their driving “ailments” then offer a sensible “diagnosis” and a “prescription” of driving remedies coupled with a commonsense dose of safety medication.  It was a bit like a real doctor, hence the name – The “Driving Doctor”!

Testimonial

  The Daily Telegraph masthead

Paul Ripley was the road safety columnist for Britain’s best-selling quality newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, for more than seven years, dispensing down-to earth, inspirational advice to the million-plus readers of the paper’s weekly Motoring section. When his award-winning column eventually came to an end, many of them complained and some even wept; more significantly, the newspaper received letters from drivers who had certainly avoided death and injury to themselves and others by recalling his advice in an emergency.

Known as “God’s Chauffeur” for his astonishing skill, impeccable smoothness and uncanny powers of observation behind the wheel, Paul is one of the world’s most highly qualified experts on all aspects of road driving. To see him at work is a life-changing and quite possibly life-saving experience.
