The DVD’s presently available are:-
Ultimate Driving Craft (DVD 100 minutes)
Produced by Chris Gilbert, a former Police Advanced Driving School Instructor from the Metropolitan Police Motor Driving School, Hendon. As well as attaining the Police class 1 classification he has also attained other significant qualifications such as LGV, PCV and is a DSA ADI Level 6 Instructor.
Chris has a relaxed teaching style which is very suitable for a DVD audience. The DVD covers many advanced driving techniques covering a wide range of driving environments (urban, rural, motorways, bad weather, progressive etc) with an initial emphasis on the benefit and development of commentary as a method of driving “self development”.
The DVD instruction is given in an Instructional commentary style.
Advanced Roadcraft (DVD – 68 minutes)
This DVD features general skills and techniques for driving safely and progressively in the range of road environment and includes tips for driving at night. The techniques and skills presented cover much of the syllabus of the Police Roadcraft Manual including a section including demonstration of safe overtaking a twenty minute demonstration of advanced driving through busy city traffic and a section on motorway driving.
The DVD is produced by Bespoke Driver training, founded by Mark Kendrick, an ex police Driving school instructor. This DVD is of both a very high technical quality and a high standard of driving.
We would like to advise you that some of the material shown on the DVD is beyond the requirements of the Advanced Driving Test, most notably demonstrations of 'straight lining' and ‘off-siding’ . The Group does not advocate the use of these techniques for Associates, Observers or the general membership.
Roadcraft - The Police Driver's Course on Advance Driving',
'Roadcraft - The Police Driver's Course on Advance
Driving',
Rather than being another instructional DVD this follows police candidates on
an advanced driving course run at the Metropolitan Police Motor Driving School,
Hendon.
The DVD complements "Roadcraft: The Police Drivers Handbook"" by showing the instructors coaching the candidates through advanced driving techniques and particularly the System of Car control. The course includes the range of driving situations covered by the group and additionally includes sections on night driving and skid pan training. The DVD was produced by the Police Federation and its content is very much suited to the needs of everyday safe progressive civilian driving in keeping with the requirements of the advanced driving test.
