“Anecdotes from an Older Driver”
Frank Ferguson (our Chelmsford Group secretary) has led an interesting life,
gaining a wealth of fascinating and amusing driving anecdotes during seventy
plus years of motoring, nearly sixty of them driving himself – starting with a
motorbike and progressing to cars long before the MoT test was introduced.
That takes us back to having to use ferries, at a time before many of today’s
estuarial crossing were built. For many years as a salesman he was driving up
to 30,000 miles a year, and his work took him all over the UK and Ireland as well
as to the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany France and Belgium.

“In Touch” is evolving…
Now that most lockdown restrictions have been lifted and we all
adjust to the “new normal” and endeavour to get on with our lives; I
feel that our interim monthly magazine “In Touch” has fulfilled its
purpose in keeping our Members abreast of current news and
practical motoring and vehicle advice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consequently, “In Touch” will evolve into a simpler monthly
Newsletter via email with details of events and joining instructions for
Chelmsford Group ZOOM meetings and any other IAM RoadSmart
News as it occurs and we adapt to the future.
Forthcoming Group Meetings
Group Nights are currently being held virtually via
ZOOM meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic
until further notice.
Group Meetings start promptly at 7pm, so please

~~~~~~~~ Editorial ~~~~~~~~
Greetings to all Members and Associates,
This has been a particularly difficult Issue of Forward Vision to put together for this
quarter and I have completed, or at least started, several articles which for one
reason or another have needed to be scrapped due to five main factors...
First, any article which has attempted to give Members and Associates any form of
consolidated and competent advice in respect of the pandemic has been re-written
so many times as Government rules and regulations have changed that frankly, I
have given up trying to consider all the implications and exceptions for fear of
misleading you all simply because it could all change again within the next week.
Second, in most respects there is almost no news on the Motoring front except, yet
again, conflicting information. We have heard from Government that on one hand the
National Speed Limit (70 mph on Motorways and Dual Carriageways) “may” be
increased to 80 mph to ease congestion; and on the other hand “may” be reduced to
60 mph as a trial to limit NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) levels and reduce pollution.
Third, I subscribe to a very broad selection of the Motoring Media to keep abreast of
what is happening and even here, most publications are so short of meaningful news
that they are publishing purely speculative articles on what may happen far in the
future and mainly leading with what models the manufacturers may have in the
pipeline way down the road. In fact, the one solid piece of news is that Mitsubishi are
completely withdrawing all new models from the European markets and closing
Dealerships although they will maintain Parts and Service for existing models.
The Fourth reason is even more bizarre in that because of the huge backlog within
the Justice system caused by the pandemic; several items I wished to comment
upon are Sub Judice and likely to remain so for many, many months to come.
The Fifth reason is that my involvement as a Community First Responder and the
time commitment necessary has increased dramatically because...
a) many Volunteers have returned to work leaving us short of manpower;
b) other Volunteers are starting to experience “Compassion Fatigue” and no longer
want to make this commitment;
c) the original necessary re-distribution of services within the NHS due to the
pandemic requiring an evolving emphasis on catch-up of traditional treatments
and procedures; and,
d) the restrictions upon carrying multiple patients within the regular and auxiliary
Ambulance Services has placed enormous strain and congestion upon an
already overworked system.
Page 6 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 134
...Continued
Consequently, for me personally, I am currently travelling around 2,000 miles a month
throughout Essex engaged upon Patient, Medication, and Medical Equipment
Transfers; SafeGuarding Visits; and any other Emergency Tasks that arise on a day-
to-day basis, including unexpected attendance at RTCs with a total time commitment
of over 4,000 hours since the pandemic started.
Not all our Volunteers can make this level of commitment and many keep the system
running by committing to transport one particular patient to one particular regular
Hospital or Clinic appointment and home again each week on a regular basis. These
types of transfers typically last no longer than two hours including the round trip
journey and typically a 15 minute treatment time.
The resurgence of COVID-19 infections means that the most vulnerable in our society
living alone and without adequate means or support could result in them missing vital
appointments for Hospital and Clinic Procedures or Treatments for other conditions
and illnesses due to further lock-down restrictions and Social Isolating.
There are hyperlinks on page 2 leading to full details if you would like to know more
about volunteering and you are willing to spare a little of your time each week to help
others.
Alternatively, you can email me and I can place you directly in touch with the
Volunteer Co-ordinator who will answer all of your questions and explain exactly what
is involved and agree the level of the commitment you are prepared to make.
* * * * *
For all the reasons given above, the interim monthly magazine “In Touch” is evolving
into a Newsletter and will no longer be a monthly magazine.
I feel that “In Touch” in its past form has fulfilled its purpose from the pandemic outset
by distributing a lot of information and news quickly to Members and Associates.
However, I now believe that an “as required” published email will be far more flexible
and responsive in communicating necessary information that is accurate and relevant
to our ever changing situation when appropriate.
You will continue to receive “In Touch” as an email (rather than a link to a magazine)
which will provide you with latest news and relevant details of forthcoming events.

Chair’s Report for the Annual General Meeting 2020 Our AGM this year will clearly be different to normal as we will be conducting it virtually via a Zoom video-conference. Prior to the AGM we will of course be holding our Group Nights by the same medium. As usual, we have had a busy year in our Group and have focused most importantly on training (Observing) people to give them valuable advanced driving skills. Our mandate is to “make better riders and drivers” and at the end of the day make the roads a safer place. I still passionately believe that through our actions each one of us has made some tangible difference; so well done and let us all feel really good about that. Even though we always have plenty of people waiting to join us we still attend a number of events to get the word out of who we are, what we do, and talk to the general public to explain the benefits of IAM Observed Driving, including the offer of a “free taster drive” and if people feel appropriate taking a test as well. We have great Group Nights with some excellent, entertaining and thought provoking speakers and the Committee will keep arranging this. As these events are for all of us, we would be really interested in subjects you would like us to cover as well as introducing us to people you think the Group would like to hear from. I am sure you would all like to join me in giving my thanks to all the Committee Members who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep Chelmsford IAM as active as it is, and of course special thanks to all our voluntary Observers. We are always looking for new Committee Members to help and support the Group, so if you would like to get more involved please let us know. Any additional support is always appreciated and welcome. At the end of this year Graham, our Chief Observer would like to relinquish that role, so we are now on the look-out for his replacement. I think you would all agree on what an outstanding job Graham has done and he will clearly be “big shoes to fill”. Looking forward, the next year will clearly be different following the current COVID-19 pandemic, but at the moment it’s difficult to say exactly how. As a Group we will keep focusing on our mandate to “make better riders and drivers” in whatever the “new normal” is. You will have heard us talk about an initiative to get better engaged with younger drivers, as soon as we can after they have passed their driving test, and this clearly is still a priority for us. Finally, the usual request from me to everyone, please get in touch with me or any Committee member on anything that is on your mind.

The Chelmsford & District Group of Advanced Motorists
Treasurer’s Report
The Group’s accounts for the year ended the 31 March 2020 are set out together with
the figures for 2018/19.
This year there was a deficit in income against expenditure of £846.00. The bulk of
this was due to a significant increase in the cost of telephone and postage, the
committee took the decision to purchase sufficient stamps to cover the posting of
Forward Vision for at least the next 12 months before the recent increase in the cost
of stamps.
As you are aware as members you are being encouraged to receive this magazine
electronically for as well as reducing the Group’s costs, with all the links now
incorporated into the publication it is a better package. However those that still wish to
receive a copy in the post this option will continue to be available..
Other highlights of the accounts
income from new associates is reduced, no doubt reflecting the economic climate
before the current situation. It can be expected that the income from this source
will be lower for the next 12 months due to the Groups inability to undertake
observer drives.
general room and admin costs are lower for as a committee we have maintained
a control on expenditure and will continue to do so.
The financial position of the Group is still strong and it has assets in the Charity
account of £11,715.29 . In view of this, at the moment it is not considered a need for
those that are making the £10 per annum donation to the Group by standing order to
be asked to increase this figure. The situation in respect of those who pay by cheque
is continually under review as with the closure of our Bank’s local branch, dealing with
cheques becomes more expensive. It would be helpful to the Group if everybody has
a standing order, so if you do not, please reconsider your decision.
It is the wish of the Charity Commission that we do not retain a high level of assets as
they should be used by the Charity. To comply with this requirement the committee of
the Group is continually looking at further ways of using the funds we have to promote
our objectives.
In respect of the Social Account, there was a small deficit last year which was caused
by payments to speakers, significant costs at the December meeting and the balance
to be carried forward is £3,470.76
I am pleased to advise you that the Group’s accounts for the year ended 31 March
2020 have been reviewed by an Independent Examiner and they have received a
Clean Bill of Health.

Page 13 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 134Hyperion unveils hydrogen-powered car that can hit
220mph and go more than 1,000 miles on a single tank
The XP-1 goes from 0 to 60mph
in 2.2 seconds and takes only
minutes to refuel.
Aerodynamic solar panels
m change position with the trajectory
of the sun.
Hydrogen energy is renewable
and doesn't produce harmful
emissions but it's difficult and
expensive to produce.
Only 300 cars are being manufactured for the XP-1's initial rollout in
2022.
A US automaker has unveiled a new hydrogen-powered 'supercar'
that can go more than 1,000 miles without needing to refuel.
The XP-1 from Hyperion revs up
from zero to 60mph in a staggering
2.2 seconds, its manufacturer
claims, reaching a top speed of
more than 221mph - and the only
thing it emits is water vapour.
The high-tech roadster is the product of nearly a decade of
development, with all-wheel drive and a three-speed transmission.
When it rolls off the assembly line in 2022, it will join several other
hydrogen-powered autos on the market, including the Honda Clarity,
Toyota Mirai, and Hyundai Nexo.
Aerodynamic elements behind the swing-up doors help with high-
speed cornering and double as solar panels that can change position
to match the trajectory of the sun. Inside the cabin, a 98-inch curved
screen provides touch-free gesture controls and a wraparound glass
canopy offers 360-degree view of the outside world.
Powered by hydrogen, the XP-1 is whisper-quiet compared to the
latest gas guzzlers.
Page 14 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 134And it only needs a few minutes to refuel - far faster than the hours
and hours a Tesla takes to completely charge up.
Hydrogen-fueled cars are also less
finicky in cold weather than their
electric counterparts.
And the XP-1 stores energy in
carbon fiber tanks rather than a
hefty lithium-ion battery.
That - and its lightweight carbon-titanium chassis - keeps its weight
down to a trim 2,275 pounds.
Hyperion hasn't disclosed the XP-1's sticker price, but it's likely to be
in the high six figures, Tech Xplore reports.
Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen is readily available, renewable, and
doesn't produce carbon monoxide and other harmful emissions.
But separating hydrogen from oxygen is a laborious process that
requires non-renewable resources like coal or natural gas. That
undercuts its selling point as an environmentally friendly alternative.
Hydrogen is also highly flammable.
Just ask anyone aboard the
Hindenburg. Hyperion CEO Angelo
Kafantaris insists the California-
based company has conquered the
safety issue. 'You can throw our
tanks off a building or shoot them
with a high-powered rifle. They
won't rupture,' he said.
Still, hydrogen's volatility makes it tricky to transport.
And while the XP-1 is incredibly efficient, it will need to refuel at some
point.
Page 15 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 134Right now there are only about 75 hydrogen fueling stations in North
America, and more than half of them are in California.
Hyperion says it plans to construct a network of stations in the
coming years.
Don't expect to see the XP-1 in
your supermarket parking lot
anytime soon, though. Only an
extremely limited run of 300
cars are planned for the initial
rollout.
The big picture, says Kafantaris,
is promoting hydrogen as a safe
and efficient fuel source.
'The XP-1 was partially designed to function as an educational tool
for the masses,' says Kafantaris.
'Aerospace engineers have long
understood the advantages of
hydrogen as the most abundant,
lightest element in the universe
and now, with this vehicle,
consumers will experience its
extraordinary value proposition.'
Editor’s Note: Readers will recall
that I extensively covered HFEV
vehicles in the September 2019
Issue #130 of “Forward Vision”
and that I predicted then that the
“real future” for sustainable
Industrial & Construction Plant,
Agricultural, Long Distance and
Heavy Commercial Vehicles, as
well as Buses and many other
Motor Vehicles including Cars
would be oriented towards HFEV
engines rather than Batteries.
Page 16 Chelmsford Advanced Motorists Issue 134HOW DO HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS WORK? Hydrogen fuel cells create electricity to power a battery and motor by mixing hydrogen and oxygen in specially treated plates, which are combined to form the fuel cell stack. Fuel cell stacks and batteries have allowed engineers to significantly shrink these components to even fit neatly inside a family car, alt- hough they are also commonly used to fuel buses and other larger vehicles. Oxygen is collected from the air through intakes, usually in the grille, and hydrogen is stored in aluminium-lined fuel tanks, which automati- cally seal in an accident to prevent leaks. These ingredients are fused, releasing usable electricity and water as by-products and making the technology one of the quietest and most environmentally friendly available. Reducing the amount of platinum used in the stack has made fuel cells less expensive, but the use of the rare metal has restricted the spread of their use. Recent research has suggested hydrogen fuel cell cars could one day challenge electric cars in the race for pollution-free roads, however - but only if more stations are built to fuel them. Fuel cell cars can be refueled as quickly as gasoline-powered cars and can also travel further between fill-ups. Fuelling stations cost up to $2 million to build, so companies have been reluctant to build them unless more fuel cell cars are on the road. The U.S. Department of Energy lists just 34 public hydrogen fuelling stations in the country; all but three are in California. According to Information Trends, there were 6,475 FCV's worldwide at the end of 2017. More than half were registered in California, which puts the U.S. (53 per cent) at the forefront for FCV adoption. Japan takes second place with 38 per cent, while Europe is at nine per cent.
