Electronic/Electrical - CEng. Most of the road design type of jobs are, understandably, looking for civil engineering background. I have considered becoming an ADI, but I don't know if it's for me.

Events at work have started me looking for an alternative employer, as such, I was just looking at the bigger picture and see if I can somehow draw my interests together. My feeling is that across the boards here are a huge range of professions of which a portion are related to the common enjoyment of driving - broadly speaking, I think the ADUK community includes of professionals from the following general categories - feel free to add any I've missed
Insurance
Accident investigation
Roads/traffic design
Emergency services drivers/trainers
ADIs
Professional LGV drivers
Chauffeurs?
My other reason for the post was to create a list of possible career routes for those wishing to pursue a career related to the driving enthusiasm which brought them here.

I'm happy with the day job designing big things with the driver training, vehicle dynamics engineering and driving as sidelines/hobby.
