Ladies Driving Challenge

Amy Youster & Debi Massey, sales and marketing director from Globehuggers Emergency Supplies, completed the Ladies Driving Challenge at the Fire Service Training College in Moreton-in-the-Marsh. During the day they drove everything from fire engines to 40 ton artic lorries and raised over £300 for the Firefighters Charity along the way.

When Debi discovered that her left foot was just for the siren it got pretty noisy!

 The Globehugger girls looking very pleased with themselves after proving that its not just boys who can drive shiny red toys!

 And they didn't just go forward! Here Amy reverses a 40 foot artic lorry and breaks the myth that women can't park.

 Debi particularly liked this model... (spot the traffic cop in the passenger seat!)

 The girls seemed to think that the signs for 70 mph meant they had to drive that fast!

 This American recovery vehicle was a real looker but an absolute monster to drive. Amy & Debi had to virtually leave their seats to press the clutch down!

 Parallel parking will be a breeze after this.

 The instructor said he'd never had a forklift truck tip in 21 years. Amy thought there was always a first time.

We told them to slow down! Here the firefighters demonstrate freeing an injured person from a road traffic accident.
