It is an amazing course, saps the energy out of you though.
Its the advanced course where you have to give the commentary, as they do the pursuits. The force are thinking of changing the policy so that we can pursue, until a traffic car gets to us anyway, so that will be back for more training.
Look forwad to my first blue light run when i'm back at work on Monday.

Wait till you get chance to practice a SMEE  :wink: Now that is fun.

Did a few similar courses with the Met at Hendon a few years back. It definately takes a lot of concentration and i always felt mentally fatigued especially after night drives as there was a lot to take in.

One thing i did learn though was before i did the courses i "thought" i was a good driver. After the courses it showed just how good modern braking, suspension etc are and how lacking in ability i was.
