What d'ya mean, Pops needs driver training?
I thought that with his "test drives" he was already experienced enough - you telling me I've been scared sh*tless every time he's driven me and he's not even had any practice

TOP!

And also a suggestion. Relevant to the current "discussion" elsewhere, can the Police advise on how to how a safe Scooby meet (numbers, liability, legal etc.)? This could be beneficial all round!

Simon, looks like YOU need the hand in learning how not to double post :

Hiya Dudes and laydees, Update time.

I recieved a call from The head of the Police driving division and he was VERY keen on the idea. The proposal has to go before a committee of some sort where they assess things like "Political correctness" and check to ensure that it won't backfire on them in the future or indeed if the event can be used against them.

The concern wasn't that club members could use it but due to potential media coverage, someone in say Lincoln could stir up anti-speeding issues and the blame would come back to Notts Constabulary. Get my drift?

Politics I know and us mere mortals will probably never understand it properly.

On the plus side though, this is all part of the arrangment admin so we have to endure it. It means that when the event is signed off, it'll be a doddle to implement

I'll keep ya all posted with info the moment I get to hear anything juicy

Keep BOUNCIN' da limiter folks

I would dearly love to do this


Please put me down for it if you have space - I wish i had seen this earlier.

On a slightly different tack - might be worth contacting Men & Motors or such like as this would make an 'interesting' media event. I am sure plod could do with all the good publicity they could get with regards to motoring and road saftey (other than 'Saftey HA! Camera Vehicles')

only just seen this, Count me in! I have a mate who's brother is traffic, and I'll ask if he knows anything about it!
(I'm not saying he's keen, but he was going to throw the book at his brother's stag night minibus driver, for breaking down. Until his brother and his dad told him what a *** he was being)

I'm up for it too. Bit safer than finding out your grip levels and how to cope whilst going along public roads when it's a bit late!

A bit late to this thread but very interested. I was booked on the last of the Essex Police (Dick Grimes) SIDC course about 12 months ago which was subsequently cancelled.

After my P*ss poor showing of my driving skills in a piddly Go-Kart at the AGM (o/k it was wet, my first go and no brakes) excuses over I would love some training for me and Scoob.
Unlike the rest of you lot born holding a steering wheel I am a mere mortal and need some coaching!! a car doesn't make a driver So count me in.
