The cracking of super-heated air makes my head snap round. A flash of searing light lances across the landscape, followed by a second. In the distance, I see a body crumple.“Down and out!” The excitable voice of Rich Lackhart bursts from the radio speaker. “Let’s keep it moving, Lancers.”

Motorway Patrol interview
It is 4am on a cold September morning. Patrol Sergeant Dave Chapman takes a deep draught of hot tea, standing at the service station in the shadow of the Severn Bridge. For the past two hours, he has driven from London at a sedate 55 mph, showing the flag and protecting his patch. Now he takes a well-earned break.“Everyone seems to think that we have high-adrenaline lives; that the excitement never stops.

Read the Informer todayWelcome to the 2055 RAAC Guide
The variety of vehicles on the roads of the British Isles in 2055 can be bewildering. Many vehicles look very similar, but carry decidedly different weapons packages.
The Standard Book of British Cars is designed to help you recognise the vehicles you meet on the roads, analyse their weaknesses and survive every engagement. The current edition contains 57 vehicles with 51 variants, giving you a unique understanding of over 100 of the motorcycles, cars and commercal vehicles on the roads today.
This guide aims to assist the driver to identify the most common vehicles on the road today. Since many vehicles have multiple configurations, the standard options are included within the description. Members of the RAAC are encouraged to send details of new vehicles to the Registration Committee of the RAAC, who will consider their inclusion in future editions
