Firstly, thanks to Barry for organizing and to the instructors at the Police College - an educational and fun evening 

The evening was an insight into the driver training police officers go through before being let loose on police business - their training takes a number of days

The visit was broken up into 3 sessions 
  1. A slide presentation on driving skills, showing how to read the driving environment and the dangers to look out for. The Driving Signs quiz certainly showed how lacking our knowledge is, albeit some of the signs were obscure ones
  2. Driven by an instructor, giving us a running commentary whist driving of the things to watch for - this tied in with what was discussed in the slideshow
  3. For a bit of fun, we were let loose driving an obstacle course, consisting of - forward slalom, forward garage park, reverse out, reverse garage park, parallel park, reverse slalom, then back to the home garage
I sure everybody enjoyed the visit and that our driving on the way home was much improved on that on the way there
