So how many of you have been caught speeding? Did you opt to go on the Driver Awareness Training course or have points added to your licence and a fine?
A pupil of mine who rides a moped and got caught speeding opted to go on the course.
I asked her what she thought of the course, and she wouldn't stop talking about it!
She was the youngest on the course at 19 years old, but ages ranged from mid 20's, 40's and the elderly.
As well as watching some very sobering film clips, she learnt what your reaction would be travelling at speeds between 30 and 40 mph; speed awareness generally; stopping distances in bad weather; and what different road markings meant etc.
She thought it was an eye opener and agreed with me that it would be a beneficial course for all learners or newly qualified drivers to go on.
I asked her if the course organisers got the attendees to fill out a questionnaire on whether or not they thought the course was beneficial..... to my surprise they didn't! A missed opportunity there, I think, to get some useful feedback.
