My station recently invited the local police to give driving awareness briefs for which attendance was compulsary to all personnel. The briefs covered all the relevent sections and included pictures/footage which made everyone think that little bit harder about the consequences of dangerous/drunk or inappropriate driving.

Just one point to note though, the copper insisted that there was no reason for Lincolnshire having the highest number of serious or fatal road accidents in the UK (and at one point Europe). We tried pointing out the; long straight country roads, poor lighting, poor road surfaces, tractors and other tediously slow vehicles moving along trunk routes at rush hour, 90 degree bends on unlit country roads, deep drainage ditches, no motorways poor public transport system etc etc etc. He wouldn't have it though.

God give me strength.
