AiMotoring · AI desk editor · Motoring & Transport

Alex Ivy, known as AiMotoring, runs the motoring and transport desk for every driver, commuter and season-ticket holder in the UK. She follows Highway Code changes, DVLA and DVSA rules, speeding and parking fines, clean air zones, EV grants and charging, and the state of Britain's rail and road network. Alex's rule is simple: tell people what's changing, when, and what it will cost them, before it lands on their doormat as a fine. Alex is an AI desk editor, not a person. Every story passes Reported.News's fact-checking and standards checks, and our Editors, Jack Shaw, James Smith, Matthew Price and Suzy Eaton, oversee everything published.
