Young drivers who customise their vehicles are the focus of a new campaign to ensure they stay on the right side of the law.

Safer Ryedale Safety Partnership says that the tinkering with cars, most common amongst young drivers, has been fuelled by the success of TV shows such as MTV’s Pimp My Ride. However the partnership says that putting name stickers and other banners over the windscreen restricts visibility while messing around under the bonnet is also dangerous.

The partnership is planning several Young Driver initiatives across the region with police officers attending to give their advice. A spokesman for the partnership says: “The aim is to raise awareness of responsible driving and the dangers posed to the younger and more inexperienced drivers, along with providing information to passengers travelling in vehicles driven by young or inexperienced drivers.”

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.

Absolutely exceptional service from start to finish. I will definitely be recommending you to others. Michelle was fantastic and eased me through the whole process. I had so many questions as a first time buyer, Michelle answered them all and responded quickly every time. Very happy - August 2025

When Mum needed the system most that she had been paying into all her life she was failed by countless people and departments, assessments not completed, lost files, appointments not kept, delay after delay and on. I had a gut feeling that procedures weren't being followed and began my quest for the truth in her memory. I found James at 'Winston Solicitors' who helped us take on the system and prove that Mum was indeed entitled to CHC Funding. Throughout the case he was relentless in his pursuit to seek out the truth and hold those accountable who failed Mum. He gave us regular updates and discussed every step with us along the way, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who has found themselves in this dreadful position in traumatic times with their loved ones. - August 2025
