www.smith-group.com Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Been on Operation Taboo Speed Awareness course today Has anybody been on it - Yes (94mph on M4 - Naughty Boy) But aside from being a bad lad. I congratulate Somerset & Avon Police for taking a sensible attitude towards educating drivers rather than points and financial penalties. Having just spent a fortune on private driving safety courses for our drivers and not really gaining much. I am considering asking if I can send all my staff on the course. well worth the Visit My Website Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/18757-operation-taboo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpat Systems Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Friend of mine has been on something similiar, he's got 3 kids and after being shown the footage of what a speeding car can do to a child he came out crying, along with half the other people there.

kka Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i think, personally something like this should be done before people take their test. Kevin Scott. Owner of KK Alarms...... Installation ..

Service Engineer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i think, personally something like this should be done before people take their test. I agree, haven't been on the course myself but know to several who have. Each person on there first driving test should be handed a Video/DVD on the dangers of driving. Showing them a car is a lethal weapon, not a toy. ........................................................

Cubit Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i think, personally something like this should be done before people take their test. The standard driving test is a breeze compared to the HGV test. All tests should be to HGV standard A few years back company sent us all on a driving course run be ex police drivers. You see things in a totally different perspective then Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/18757-operation-taboo/#findComment-163672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kka Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Each person on there first driving test should be handed a Video/DVD on the dangers of driving. Showing them a car is a lethal weapon, not a toy. it should be shown to them before their theory test, then at least you know they have seen it. before i did my helicopter training. i was shown a video about how dangerous a helicopter could be. belief me respect was not the word, i never approach a helicopter unless the pilot says so and i certainly go no where near the tail rotor when it is spinning. as far as driving goes before i did alarms, i was a trucker and seen many accidents, certainly improved my respect for the motor vecihle.

Guest Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 My misses went on an Avon and Somerset Speed Choice Workshop. This is when you get knicked for doing up to 40mph in a 30mph zone. You get the option to attend the course and not get the points, of course you only get to go once!!!
