Peter started out in automotive nearly 25 years ago test-driving vans.
He should also have test-driven trucks but failed his C+E twice before moving on to write about all of the practical aspects of car ownership that most other motoring hacks were too busy driving Ferraris to bother with.
This armed Peter with a good line in dinner-party conversation favourites such as Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation, a staple for the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders which he joined eight years ago.
He now leads a small team that works with a diverse range of members involved in remanufacturing, supply chain, caravans, aftermarket and trucks (which he is, unfortunately, still not licensed to drive).
