Default Re: Driving

I worked for the Police and had a legal exemption, also the cars had hidden blue lights and sirens, just in case. Used the blue lights when idiots tried to tailgate at 110mph, they soon backed off! I once managed Newcastle to Chester in under 3 hours, over 190 miles. One of the cars I was driving had an OTR price of £79,000. It was great, had double glazed windows and air suspension and a 4.5 litre diesel engine, 0 - 60 in 4.9 secs.

Ooh I've been toying with that idea myself for a few years now. Think it was about £150 when I looked into it and was done with volunteers. I need to get back on that.
I used to be one of the volunteers (called Observers), I got about a dozen people through their test. Including a taxi driver, who thought he new more about driving than anyone, until I started to point out all his faults. When he passed he gave me a gallon bottle of Southern Comfort, because he genuinely felt he had learnt more from doing his test than he would have ever learnt otherwise.
