Next Idea
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:04 pm
I have just been told by an optician (not a forces advisor) that I will probably never become a police officer due to my eye sight (I have a lazy eye so only use one eye at a time, and surgery won't work) even though it meets the driving test standard, and my good eye is perfect.
What I wanted to do in the police was become a riding instructor for police riders, and generally do my bit to help reduce motorcycle casulties. As this is very unlikley to happen what can I do now to become an advanced riding instructor on civvie street.
I'm currently riding only on a CBT as I'm waiting for my 21st before doing DAS, but already use my interpretation of police roadcraft (I call it my interpretation as I'm self taught).
What are pay/hours and stuff like. Where would I be able to go for training (Ideally upto police standard), what are the likley costs of doing it all on civvie street etc
Many thanks
