Another day at the driving school! We drove up, via several B and A roads, to a village called Wells-by-the-Sea, in Norfolk. The instructor, who's been doing this a few years, happened to know a remarkably good fish and chip shop there...The photo is of our current car, with Joe the other student sat in the driving seat (thats on the right hand side, for the benefit of those in strange lands). Myles the instructor is hidden on the passenger side. There should be 3 students in the car, but we lost our other guy on the assessment (as in he failed) so we're down to 2 students in our car.
Norfolk constabularly were a bit bemused by 7 met coppers all turning up at once. A Thames Valley police training car also turned up so there were 11 coppers making sure the harbour front at Wells was very safe today. Myles broke up a fight between a seagull and a duck so we were put to use.
Things are progessing nicely on the course. We are currently doing lead-follow exercises with our 'sister' car to start getting us in the frame of mind for pursuit training next week. Had one entertaining moment where I made sure the ABS worked correctly on the car in the morning but no harm was done, and nobody was alarmed (well, not much) or put in any danger.
Other things. Hairy bearded gorilla type JimBob the original native Alaskan has also started his own blog. He calls himself Custarditus Villainous or something and I've put the link in to his page on the right. Log in and poke fun.
