Ooo 'ello Long Time No Post Some of you know me, most probably don't after all this time!!
Managed to get a lesson in yesterday as the snow fell. I also just had time to get her to a wide, freshly snowed on, empty road so we could have a play around.
Today was a no go, same as tomorrow. Apart from obviously advice and conditions, as an indie, I have to think about my car (not us having a prang but others going into us). As I'm not with a national school I won't have a 'like for like' car given to me if mine if off the road.
As for skid pans, the one at Essex HQ is now not in use..I am told that Essex Police now go to All Motor Training in Kelvedon. (They are on the list) I think the cost is about £400 a time (half day). I usually go with a group I belong to and we try to get at least 10 of us so we split the cost.
A couple of peeps from the group in action, taken errr with my nokia phone some while back and lifted (unbenown to me) onto their website from YouTube so not a good video...it's an idea though of what they do on the skidpan.
