Are cars destined to fade away, or are they turning into something even more essential to our lives and identity, and can we balance our love for cars with the pressing need to reimagine transportation systems for health, climate, and cost-of-living challenges?Today, Richard Hammond, famous for his years of motor journalism on Top Gear and then the Grand Tour, and Active Travel England commissioner Chris Boardman are our guests, in interviews I recorded at a Rees Jeffreys Road Fund debate held at the Royal Automobile Club in London.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!Richard Hammond discusses how we balance environmental concerns with the enduring human love for cars, and how we reimagine the car's future in an evolving transport network, balancing utility and emotional connection. He discusses what he sees are the limitations of electric vehicles and alternative energy solutions, and how he sees the future of car ownership in a world of shared mobility and environmental consciousness.Then Chris Boardman joins us to talk about how active travel options can address carbon emissions, public health, and equitable access to transport. He points to places like Cambridge and Kesgrave are leading the way in creating transport systems that prioritise people, not just vehicles. He looks at the economic and societal benefits of shifting to multi-modal transport systems, including improved health outcomes and reduced costs, before giving some practical solutions and innovative technologies, from rural design guides to data-driven cycling infrastructure, that enable transport independence and reduce reliance on cars.

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero ¿Afecta el color de la carrocería de un coche a la seguridad vial? El color de la carrocería de un coche no solo es una cuestión estética, sino que tiene una influencia directa en la seguridad vial, principalmente debido a su impacto en la visibilidad del vehículo en diferentes condiciones de luz y climatología. La elección del color puede marcar la diferencia entre ser fácilmente visible para otros conductores o pasar desapercibido en la carretera. Colores más seguros Los estudios indican que ciertos colores ofrecen ventajas en términos de seguridad debido a su alta visibilidad: 1. Rojo: • Los vehículos de color rojo tienen un menor índice de siniestralidad. Según el estudio de carVertical (2023-2024), solo el 53,9% de los coches de este color se registraron como dañados, un porcentaje relativamente bajo en comparación con otros tonos. • Su carácter llamativo lo convierte en un color fácil de percibir, incluso en condiciones adversas. 2. Blanco y amarillo: • Los colores claros, como el blanco y el amarillo, también están asociados con menores tasas de accidentes. • Estos colores destacan en condiciones de baja iluminación o climatología adversa, como lluvia o niebla, lo que mejora la seguridad. Colores con mayor siniestralidad Por otro lado, algunos colores se asocian con un mayor riesgo debido a su baja visibilidad: 1. Negro y marrón: • Los vehículos de colores oscuros tienen una probabilidad significativamente mayor de verse involucrados en accidentes. Esto ocurre porque estos tonos tienden a mezclarse con el entorno, especialmente en condiciones de poca luz como el amanecer o el anochecer. • Un informe del Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) destaca que los vehículos negros tienen un 12% más de riesgo de sufrir accidentes en comparación con los de colores claros. Fuentes de los datos • Estudio de carVertical (2023-2024): Evalúa los índices de siniestralidad en función del color de la carrocería. • Revista Autocrash - CesviColombia: Analiza la influencia de la visibilidad y el color en la seguridad vial. • Informe del Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV): Estudia los riesgos de siniestralidad asociados a colores específicos. El color de la carrocería es un factor clave en la seguridad vial. Colores llamativos y claros, como el rojo, blanco o amarillo, mejoran la visibilidad y reducen el riesgo de accidentes. Por otro lado, tonos oscuros como el negro y marrón aumentan la probabilidad de colisiones, especialmente en condiciones de baja iluminación. Aunque el color es importante, no debe analizarse de manera aislada. Factores como el comportamiento del conductor, las condiciones climáticas y el estado de las carreteras también juegan un papel crucial en la prevención de accidentes. Al elegir un vehículo, considerar la visibilidad que ofrece su color puede ser un paso significativo hacia una conducción más segura.

One of the hallmarks of independence, particularly as you get older, is holding a drivers license and being able to drive your own car. Getting an older person to give up their wheels can be a lesson in futility, no matter how they need to stop driving. Getting older doesn't mean you automatically have to give up your independence, but it does mean you may have to take extra precautions compared with someone younger. Joining John on the podcast today is James Williams, head of policy at the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV). Operating since 1903, RACV is a motoring club offering various services to members, including roadside assistance and car insurance. Mr Williams is here to highlight some of the pitfalls of being an older driver, but also some of the positives you can only get with years of experience behind the wheel.

This week's Highways Voices looks ahead to the biggest single event we cover at Highways News - Intertraffic Amsterdam.Ahead of four special podcasts direct from the RAI in Amsterdam thanks to the support of SWARCO and AGD Systems, we find out what we can expect, as we hear from the organiser Carola Jansen-Young and long-term friend of Highways Voices, Richard Neumann of SWARCO.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!"I think we're close to 900 registered exhibitors, and on top of that, there's a lot of interest from the ITS Nationals that are actually bringing more companies that are members of their organisation over to Intertraffic," explains Carola Jansen-Young. "It's bigger, and not only from the floor surface or the number of organisations participating, but it's definitely also bigger from summit programme perspective, from a demonstration perspective, and as well, all signs indicate that it will also be bigger from an attendee perspective."Having the biggest stand at the huge event is great kudos for SWARCO but a lot of work for the man who organises it, Richard Neumann, who admits to looking forward to midday on Tuesday when the event is up and running and he can relax, and meet the company's clients and friends: "We will look after them as they deserve because they are part of the success of SWARCO," he says. "So there is a big bistro area again on our stand where you can sit down have the meetings with our salespeople, but there is also some culinary delights and drinks from Austria."In the podcast you'll hear about SWARCO's drinks reception on Wednesday from 5-7.30pm including those culinary delights from Austria, and you'll hear what to expect from our daily podcasts and who might turn up on it.There's also our partner news from the Transport Technology Forum, LCRIG, ADEPT and ITS UK, and Adrian Tatum's pick of stories from the Highways News website, along with Adrian's Accolade going this week to the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund for its latest promise of bursaries, and a reminder you can hear from previous Bursary winners on a previous podcast recorded from the Royal Automobile Club last year - click here to listen.See you next week in Amsterdam!

We've talked a lot about electrification and sustainable energy and transformational technologies shaping the ways we move through the world on Before IT Happened. In this episode, award-winning industrial designer and co-founder of Untitled Motorcycles Hugo Eccles joins the show to talk about his creative process driven by a passion for both riding and design, talking about his family's deep connection with automobiles all the way to his current challenges designing e-bikes and trying to attract new groups of riders through innovation and conscious development. Before any world-changing innovation, there was a moment, an event, a realization that sparked the idea before it happened. This is a podcast about that moment — about that idea. Before IT Happened takes you on a journey with the innovators who imagined — and are still imagining — our future. Join host Donna Loughlin as her guests tell their stories of how they brought their visions to life.  JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (02:11) - Hugo's family legacy with mechanics - “My great-grandfather was one of the founders of the Royal Automobile Club and played a big part in electrifying Britain. In fact, there's a story that he got punched by Queen Victoria. He got into a disagreement with the queen when he was installing electric lighting in Buckingham Palace.” (05:11) - Working with the design firm IDEO in the 90s - “I worked on everything from office furniture systems to mobile phones to children's toys, car interiors, medical products, you name it.” (09:57) - Establishing a booming design career - “We're not engineers. We're very ignorant about things, which I think is good in a way. We're really well-positioned to be the kind of advocate for the consumer—for the user—because they're not engineers either.” (13:17) - Hugo's decision to focus on motorcycle design - “It just started with a really innocent question. My wife asked me ‘This might be a stupid question, but you love design and you love motorcycles. Have you ever thought about designing motorcycles?' It was interesting. I think I was waiting for permission to do it.” (20:56) - Designing on trend - “I think the trouble with style is it's generally attached to fashion, and fashion is very temporary. If I had to choose function or style, I'd choose function because function never goes out of style.” (27:49) - Hugo's on the future of e-mobility (and how to attract new non-male riders) - “ I really think comparing a gas bike to an electric bike's a bit like comparing a landline to an iPhone. They both make phone calls, but the implications of the two things are so very different.” EPISODE RESOURCES: Connect with Hugo on https://www.instagram.com/hugoeccles/ (Instagram) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugo-eccles-92855b8b/ (Linkedin) Learn more about https://www.untitledmotorcycles.com/ (Untitled Motorcycles) Learn more about the https://www.petersen.org/ (Petersen Museum in Los Angeles) Listen to Before IT Happened's:https://www.beforeithappened.com/podcast-episodes/tapping-into-startup-culture-and-betting-on-the-future-of-mobility-with-vitaly-golomb-episode-19 ( )https://www.beforeithappened.com/podcast-episodes/smart-electric-motorcycles-and-achieving-zero-fatalities-before-2030-with-damon-founder-jay-giraud (Smart, Electric Motorcycles and Achieving Zero Fatalities Before 2030) Listen to Before IT Happened's:https://www.beforeithappened.com/podcast-episodes/tapping-into-startup-culture-and-betting-on-the-future-of-mobility-with-vitaly-golomb-episode-19 ( )https://www.beforeithappened.com/podcast-episodes/driving-the-nostalgia-of-motorcycles-into-the-ev-era-with-paul-dorleans-episode-40 (Driving the Nostalgia of Motorcycles into the EV Era with Paul d'Orleans) Thank you for listening!

Classic cars have been one of the top performers in our Luxury Investment Index, but how are they faring now, and what does the future hold as environmental regulations tighten? Andrew Shirley speaks to His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent GCVO to find out how the world of classic cars has changed.

The UK police are using a new detection system to alert motorists who use mobile phones while driving. Police departments in Thames Valley and Hampshire recently developed a new sensor with help from technology company Westcotec. In developing the sensor, the police wanted to make people more aware of the perils of simultaneously using a phone and driving. They also intended to use the sensor to pinpoint areas where there are many instances of mobile phone use among drivers. This sensor is a road-side sign showing a mobile phone in a red circle with a diagonal line across it. It detects phone signals from passing cars. Then, it flashes an LED warning sign to deter drivers from using their phones while driving. Two sensors have been installed and are currently being used on the A34 road in Oxfordshire. More sensors will be set up at different locations throughout the Thames Valley and Hampshire, where over a hundred people have died or have been critically injured since 2014 due to negligent drivers using their phones. The Royal Automobile Club showed support for the new detection system. According to a representative, the technology would help drivers be more focused while driving and discourage some from using their phones. In spite of the sensor's potential to help drivers, the device has some disadvantages. For one, the sensor cannot distinguish whether the driver or the front-seat passenger is using the mobile phone. Also, at £6,000 per unit, it is expensive.

Part of the British Touring Car Championship establishment and three times a title winner, Northern Irishman Colin Turkington chats about his low-key start in motor racing, the efforts to which he went to make his first racing car – a Metro – more aerodynamically efficient and the unexpected manner in which a hobby put him on the path to a successful professional career. He has secured all three of his BTCC championships with West Surrey Racing and BMW – and this season he seeks to emulate Andy Rouse, the only driver previously to have won four. Turkington comes from a family with a strong motor sport heritage – and the dynasty looks certain to continue. When he’s not competing in the BTCC, Turkington can often be found at kart tracks, overseeing the efforts of his two young sons. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We hope everyone is staying safe as Christmas approaches and life becomes hectic, chaotic and clouded with the insanity of shopping car park over-crowding in hot weather and high humidity. We recommend that you drink lots of water, rest in a cool shady spot and listen to something fun and entertaining, so in light of that here is our latest episode from the Nerds we all love. Please sit back, relax and enjoy that cold drink and let us entertain you.First up the Professor has news about Netflix getting involved with the Minecraft story mode. This is potentially the greatest news since Anthony Mundine was knocked out, and was silent for more than 30 seconds, not that we condone violence, but it was a teacher who took him down. Viva la Nerds!!!The DJ brings us news about the latest Bond movie changing director and a discussion about a number of things Bond related ensues. Buck the ancient Nerd is a Bond fan and has some trivia for us that is pretty cool.

Alastair Caldwell tells good stories. A lot of good stories. Whether it's about how he got into the sport or what it was like looking after James Hunt the night before the Canadian Grand Prix they are always entertaining and they usually end with a michevous cackle.  For this Royal Automobile Club Talk Show we focused solely on 1976 – the year that James Hunt won the title. It was an incredible year in Formula 1 with everything from terrible accidents to race disqualifications. "I remember when we were on our way back from Japan," Alastair told me after we stopped recording, "and we all said to each other: There's no point in taking this to Hollywood, no one would believe what happened." Over 30 years later Rush, the Hollywood film centered around 1976, was made.  The Club is celebrating that world championship year all through 2016 and only two weeks ago hosted a dinner with John Hogan, Freddie and Tom Hunt and James' two sisters and brother. We hope you enjoy Alastair's view on the season which... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Being the month of May we sat down with Sir Stirling Moss to talk Monaco and the Mille Miglia. Moss famously won the latter in 1955 with Motor Sport's continental correspondent Denis Jenkinson aboard the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. In Monaco he also enjoyed great success with Grand Prix wins in 1956, 1960 and 1961. His last win there, when he held off the faster Ferraris behind him, is widely considered one of his greatest races of all time.  We also take readers' questions which cover Moss' greastest corners, his retirement from racing and much more.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I first met McGuinness at the Isle of Man TT in 2011. I was on the island to write a colour piece about the week’s racing and the big characters and John was top of the interview list. Having organised the trip at the last minute the only hire car left on the island was a pink soft-top Nissan Micra. I decided to take my ‘bike helmet and hitch lifts. It was because of a particularly mad Frenchman – who had given me a lift from my campsite to the paddock that morning on his (very fast) BMW tourer – that I knocked on John’s motorhome door with slightly shaky hands. John opened the door, invited me in and offered me a ‘cuppa’. Being relatively new to road racing it seemed odd that one of its most successful counterparts was happy to be making tea. Formula 1 this was not. What followed was a fascinating 45 minutes chatting about the TT course and what makes it so special. By the end of it I had to keep reminding myself who McGuinness was such was his normality. To be fair, most road racers I have met are... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
