Hi Brian,
This concept was sucessfully used back in 1995 when I was the Scottish events organiser with the [Phsst mode on] Vauxhall Car Club [Phsst mode off]. The Police came to a meet we had arranged in Stirling and gave us hints and tips for normal day2day driving, winter driving care & techniques and brought a few goodies (pens, ice scrappers, leaflets etc). That day we were very fortunate to be given a small hurl in the back of the car for 10 mins seeing how the driver conducts himself on the road, with regard to position, observations etc AKA ROADCRAFT.
I had tried to arrange this last year but it went a bit Pete Tong and I couldn't get a venue sorted out in time. However this will be better organised for the Autumn 2004. However I can give you a hint that no driving practicles will be available this time. (new policies I believe).
