Boring
Watch some videos. Tick some boxes. Watch some more PowerPoint stuff and more videos about accidents

Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs
Converting an MFV Fifie trawler type thing.

been on two mate, learned -
speed camera can pick you up at 1000yds
they cost £20k and are owned by the LA but operated by the police
only around 10% of them are operational at any one time
accident investigators can tell how fast you were going after an accident to an accuracy of 1mph by examining the tyre marks on the road
Take a pillow with yer

i had to bite my lip, its a cracking little money spinner for them that run it - jus count how many 80 quids are sat in that room for 4 hours, and they do three sessions a day
there was one bit about some guy who died in a crash, he wasn't speeding or at fault even - had an unsecured toolbox in the boot that when travelled forward and hit him in the back, the guy up front went on and on and on and on... couldn't help but thinking WTF has that got to do with speed awareness
definitely seemed to be some bit there were there just to fill the timeʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ.

Yer, I forgot about the tool box routine, got that also, actually even though nowt to do with speeding not bad advice.
I also now remember the lecture about waiting to turn right on a main road, crack was you've got to keep yer wheels pointed straight ahead and not with right lock because if someone rams you up the arse you could be pushed into oncoming traffic

Been on one and it slowed me down a bit. An old guy, parcel delivery driver from Glasgow was on the same course. Genuinely didn't know there was a national speed limit. Thought it was no limit unless it stated otherwise. Amazed he's still alive but it explains the M8."If you can read this, you're too close"

I done the course up at cramlington last year, thought it was funny how the majority of people on it were middle aged women not being sexist...but it makes you think who are the better drivers, especially as lasses get cheeper car insurance.
