Who’s Who? SP The Police You 5 MINS STATEMENT:
“You are here today because you have been detected travelling at a speed within certain parameters above the posted speed limit by either a static or mobile speed enforcement camera. You have been invited to the course by the Police and we are here delivering the course on behalf of SP who operate the scheme under a Service Level Agreement.” The Police You

Who Are We? Those delivering this course are:
Highly qualified professional driver trainers who hold a substantial amount of knowledge and experience within the driver training industry. 3 MINS We are not the police or local authority employees. We are self employed advanced driver trainers delivering this course on behalf of the SP List experience and qualifications of those delivering the course.

What Is Required of You? Attend all sessions
There is no pass or fail. However, to successfully complete this course you must: Attend all sessions Complete all course paperwork, including any relevant questionnaires Make a positive contribution Demonstrate a willingness to improve your speed awareness skills 5 MINS Emphasise no pass or fail. Only completion or non completion We ask you to strictly recognise course programme times. We value your opinion so on the final questionnaire please respond honestly and give reasons for your answers if you feel they are relevant. We do take your comments into consideration and changes have been made to the course over the years as a direct result. You must make a positive contribution, the course is for your benefit, and you need to show a willingness to improve your knowledge. None compliance with any of these points may result in you being removed from the course and your file sent back to the police for further action.

Confidentiality Agreement of Confidentiality Anything said during the course remains the subject of confidentiality however: SP Will not condone the attendance on this course of an individual who impersonates the driver/rider who should have rightfully attended this course. This is a very serious offence and could carry a prison sentence 5 MINS Read as written. Use humour, example, husband/wife, not told each other attending. If you recognise someone on the course keep it to yourself. The SP Will not condone …….. This is a extremely serious offence and could carry a hefty fine and a substantial prison sentence.

Aim The course aim: to contribute towards safer communities by increasing your intention to drive at an appropriate speed within the speed limit. 3 MINS Read through initially – then cover what it means: What do we mean by safer communities? – less likelihood of casualties. Who in particular? – children, elderly, infirm Anyone else? – all road users

What Are We Going To Cover?
What are the benefits of complying with speed limits? How can you raise your awareness of appropriate attitudes towards the misuse of speed? What can we identify as the consequences of speeding? How can you improve your knowledge and skills in identifying different speed limit areas? 5 MINS – 2 SLIDES Read Only

What Are We Going To Cover?
What is your personal responsibility for choice of speed? What difference does speed make? How can you recognise the impact of your driving behaviour on other road users? Read Only

Bare Facts Driver/rider error is a contributory factor in 95% of crashes Excess speed for the conditions is an error Those who drive/ride fast regardless of the conditions are 3-5 times more at risk than those who do not 10 –15 MINS REVEAL LINE 1 What is the other 5% possibly attributed to? How many annually killed? - Almost 3200 (3,172 in 2006) Daily nearly 9, 1 child every 2 days. (169 in 2006) 95% could therefore be avoided. We are talking about road risk, higher speed = higher risk Higher risk= lower safety How many of you were caught in a 30 zone? Where do we kill most pedestrians? How would you feel if they were your family? Use dry wipe board to emphasise thinking distance in comparison to overall stopping distance. What is the overall stopping distance at 30? Braking/thinking distance. Impact speed. Highway code page 42 REVEAL LINE 2 REVEAL LINE 3

Pedestrians Killed Vehicle speed 1 out of 20 = 5% 4 out of 20 = 20%
20 mph 30 mph 35 mph 40 mph Source (December 2007) No. Killed 1 out of 20 = 5% 4 out of 20 = 20% 11 out of 20 = 55% (estimated) 18 out of 20 = 90% (16 out of 20 = 80% - children) 5 MINS These are impact speeds because the pedestrian has been hit in driver`s thinking time. Read through all figures. The faster you travel the harder you hit. Increased Speed = Increased Thinking time = Increased impact speed. A car initially travelling at 35 mph will still be travelling at 18 mph at the point it would have stopped if travelling at 30 mph and it will travel a further 21 feet before stopping. Where do you find 20mph zones? Why?

Pedestrians Killed 3 MINS Reveal graph only initially
This reinforces the likelihood of killing someone between 20mph and 40mph The graph clearly shows how the death rate dramatically rises. REVEAL RED LINE – if for example you are travelling at 35mph in a 30mph zone the likelihood of killing a pedestrian increases by 35%

Statistics Road Crashes are the no.1 killer of young people worldwide
Every 6 seconds someone is killed or maimed on the world’s roads 3 MINS Aged between 10 and 24 years of age. Why are so many young people killed? Mp3 players,mobile phones, judgement of speed and distance poor. (make roads safe) 2007

How Progress Is Being Made
Education of road users (courses like this one) Vehicle design and build Improvement of roads infrastructure Raised standards of learner driving test 5 MINS Has anyone done any other driver training, for example, fleet, lgv, taxi? Improved technology - ABS, power steering, engine management systems, crumple zones, safety cages, air bags (curtain air bags), electronic stability programmes etc Road development, traffic calming for example, speed humps, chicanes, mini roundabouts and other traffic calming devices. Longer test, more knowledge required. Test is longer, and the theory has 50 questions to be answered, plus hazard perception test.

Speed Limits How can you recognise the speed limit on any road you are driving on? What information tells us the speed limit may change? Where do speed limits change most often? What are repeater signs? 20 MINS – 3 SLIDES Highway code reference page 41 rule 124. If you are unsure of the speed limit of the road you are on, sometimes looking into a side road to see if there is a speed sign, can help to ascertain the limit of the road you are on. Environmental, chimney pots to tree tops, schools, size of signs. At junctions, traffic lights, roundabouts. Why don’t we see them? 7 foot up on a post, we are looking at the traffic not the sign. Not looking far enough ahead – environment too busy, too many signs and/or road markings Repeater signs are smaller than the enforcement sign and usually placed in speed limit areas above 30 mph at regular intervals either on lamp posts or small posts.

A Guide to Speed Limits 20mph speed limit The 20mph limit is used mainly in town centres, high streets, residential roads and near schools. 30mph speed limit The 30mph limit is used mainly in urban areas and villages and wherever you see street lights unless otherwise stated. 40mph and 50mph These limits are mainly used in non-built up areas and where the national speed limit is not appropriate. Reveal 20mph, then ask where are they found? Expand on the reasons why a 20 zone is there. To help prevent injury and death particularly to children in housing estates and obviously near schools. Reveal 30mph, ask where? How can else can you recognise it is 30? ( revision) Reinforce Highway Code Page 41 rule 124. At 40 and 50mph what do you get that you don’t see very often in a 30mph?

A Guide to Speed Limits National Speed Limit For most vehicles the national speed limit is 60mph on single carriageway roads and 70mph on dual carriageways. Dual Carriageways A dual carriageway is a road that is separated by a central reservation. For the majority of vehicles the speed limit on a dual carriageway is 70mph. Reveal national sign, what does it mean? Highway Code page 40 for full chart of speed limits. Talk about different speed limits for different vehicles. Single carriageway it will be 60mph for cars and motorcycles. and 50mph for vehicles over 2 tonnes and under 7.5 tonnes, buses and coaches and car towing a trailer or caravan. and 40mph for vehicles over 7.5 tonnes Explain why it`s important to know the difference for vehicles with lower speed limits. A car driver may catch up on a wagon very quickly. Dual carriageway – example – 4 lane road with double solid line in centre, is this dual carriageway? – NO. A dual carriageway must have a physical divide between the traffic, irrespective of amount of lanes. Highway Code page 45 gives definition of a dual carriageway. Motorways - 70mph for cars and motorcycles. Light goods vehicles, buses and coaches, 60mph for cars towing trailers or caravans and Large Goods Vehicles over 7.5 Tonnes Beware – large vehicles are fitted with speed limiters – 56 mph Motorways For most vehicles the speed limit on motorways is 70mph unless otherwise indicated.

Excuses 3 MINS Icebreaker - If you were stopped by a police officer, what do you think you could use as an excuse? These days we are not stopped by the police, we simply receive a letter through the post. We have lost the chance to explain our reasons – or talk our way out of a ticket! Try a funny excuse for speeding, do you think they would let you off? Car wash…. I was “Drying the car off” etc… Interactive exercise Get the groups talking to each other Then go round each of the groups asking would they let them off with that excuse?

What causes you to speed ?
5 MINS Make sure you have correct slide showing Ask clients to write in their workbook what is personal to them, what causes you to speed? Please give your honest reasons for speeding, if you are honest with what causes you to speed, we will try our best to give you a solution. Clients to write in their course workbook. No one but themselves will see the book, so they can write how they like, any language, any spelling, makes no difference. This is their personal workbook for the day, to work through and take away after.

Circumstances Environment Vehicle 7 MINS
On a flip chart, wipe board or other available resource, draw the 3 circles, this will be used to record the evidence that will be worked upon. Is the reason you’ve written down due to circumstances, environment or vehicle, could it overlap, could overlap into any 2 or all 3, there is no right or wrong circle to put it in. Which circle would you put your reason in? Is it the circumstances you find yourself in, the environment, nice quiet road, or is it the vehicle, modern , powerful, quiet cars. Ask everyone in room, in a random pattern, so all have an opportunity to take part. Write their reasons on the circles, try and condense their reasons into 1 word. E.g someone following me too close…. Tailgaters. Coming off motorway……. Perception Kids playing in car……. distractions

CIRCUMSTANCES Test driving car, Test riding bike
Lapses in concentration, When you are angry, Going with the flow Listening to fast music, Racing ‘Red Mist’ Being late, Tailgaters Peer pressure, Passenger pressure Distractions, Noble causes Fatigue CIRCUMSTANCES 10 MINS – 3 SLIDES These are a few sample excuses, given over the years, go through and relate to any you have Test driving… salesman says it will do 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, will it? When you are angry, the door of the car is the first thing abused! Going with the flow, you get sucked along with all the traffic, does it feel wrong? Red Mist, usually associated with emergency vehicles going to a shout, and their mind is on what they will meet on arrival at scene, fire, crash etc. What circumstances can cause this for an average driver? Tailgaters, what do they want you to do? Peer pressure, my cars better than yours, is this as fast as it goes. Distractions, in your head, in the car, outside the car. Noble causes, don`t turn it into a tragedy and have 2 ambulances sent out for you. Fatigue. 23% of crashes on a motorway are due to the driver falling asleep, anyone had the long blink on a motorway? You don`t know if you`ve travelled a yard or a mile. Source Rospa, research by TRL

ENVIRONMENT When the roads are quiet
Unaware of dangers and consequences Speed perception distorted Sun blocking speedometer Distractions ENVIRONMENT When roads are quiet, you and a rabbit, no other traffic, they are a speed magnet, thinking it`s safe, the speed limit seems ridiculous. We become unaware of the dangers and consequences, at certain times of the day, when there is little to raise our concentration. Speed perception distorted, how does it feel when you leave a motorway? It feels like you can almost step out of the car and push it faster. Sun blocking speedo, this can happen to motorcyclists and to open top cars and sometimes to vehicles with digital speedometers. Distractions in the environment, can be billboards, shop windows, other drivers actions.

VEHICLE Misjudging overtaking manoeuvres
Anti-lock braking system Traction control and other modern devices Vehicle performance Misjudging overtaking manoeuvres Overestimating your vehicle control VEHICLE Modern vehicles have many safety devices, perhaps describe the safety features of your own vehicle. My car has ABS, electronic stability programme and 10 air bags, how does it make me feel? Safe. When you feel safer you will drive faster. Your road risk is now much higher. We misjudge overtaking manoeuvres because other than on motorways we have very little opportunity to overtake, and generally when we try, the vehicle we are about to overtake speeds up! Causing frustration and sometimes anger. Ultimately, we think we are better than we are. Most drivers think they are better than the average driver!

YOU Circumstances Environment Vehicle 1 MIN
Ask clients What links all these together? Who or what is the cause? Reveal link – YOU Whatever the vehicle does, it is the drivers responsibility, you choose to drive at the speed you do. You have made a choice.

YOU Thrill seeking When you are angry Wanting to be in front
When the roads are quiet Failing to observe speed limits Lack of knowledge on speed limits Think you can get away with a bit extra Test driving car Going with the flow Lack of self discipline Listening to fast music Lapses in concentration Disregard for personal safety Misjudge overtake manoeuvre YOU Speed perception distorted Sun blocking speedometer Passenger pressure Peer pressure Noble causes Distractions Being late Tailgaters Unaware of dangers and consequences Overestimating your vehicle control Complacent in local areas Playing catch up Test driving car ‘ Red Mist’ Attitude Racing Fatigue 3 MINS This is a comprehensive list of excuses, cover any in detail that have not already been. E.g Disregard for personal safety, use example of dropping children off at school, safe and sound, how do we then drive on our own in the car with no one to protect? Think you can get away with a bit extra, for many years authorities have not clamped down too hard on people marginally over the speed limit, now it is zero tolerance, and the figures we talked about earlier are testament to this. Complacent in local areas, we do not concentrate fully on regular routes. Attitude it`s not that any of you have a poor attitude, we are asking you to look at this with an open mind.

The Likelihood of Being Caught
Drivers who speed believe there is a lower chance of being caught than those who do not (Guppy 1993) The less chance drivers think there is of being caught the faster they drive (Stradling & Campbell 2003) You are here today as a result of efficient technology, if you do not make changes there is a high probability that you will be caught again. 3 MINS Did you think you could get away with it? The statements from the clients will allow you to expand on this. REVEAL LINE 2 Having never seen a camera, static or mobile, on a certain road, drivers will speed thinking there will never be one there. REVEAL LINE 3

Consequences Loss of licence Loss of life Social effects
Psychological effects Knock on effects with family and friends Inconvenience Insurance problems Fines Injury Loss of job Imprisonment 7 MINS DO NOT REVEAL LIST What could happen if you do not change If you continue with same attitude, what will happen? What are the personal consequences to you? Write them down in your workbook. REVEAL THE LIST and detail the consequences as relevant to the group. Loss of licence, who needs their licence for their job? Loss of income, or a change of income, mortgage problems, leading to family problems Psychological effects, how could you cope with injuring,maiming, or ultimately killing someone. What if it was someone in your car? Family member. Knock on effect, every home has a taxi driver! Can they fit you into their lives? Public transport, not always as efficient as we would like. Insurance problems, should notify insurance company of any points, otherwise policy could be void. Some companies will not insure you if you have 6 or more points. Insurance companies increase the premium because you are a greater risk. Job prospects, all call for a clean licence. Imprisonment up to 14 years.

Consequences of Crashing
( Discussion ) 10 MINS What are the personal consequences of crashing, discuss as a group. You might be killed. Knock on effect to family and friends If you kill a passenger, who are usually people you love, more psychological, think about a child, could you cope with that? An impact is to lose an arm or a leg, facial disfigurement, or end up as a vegetable. for example If you crash on the way to pick children up, what happens to them, who then picks them up, damage to vehicle, repairs, inconvenience. Would you feel like driving again?

Corporate Manslaughter
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 is a landmark in law. For the first time, companies and organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care. The Act, effective from 6 April 2008, clarifies the criminal liabilities of companies including large organisations where serious failures in the management of health and safety result in a fatality. 3 MINS Does anyone here drive as a part of their job? How does this affect you? Management imposed schedules, using phone whilst driving, regular breaks – are you aware of your company policies? Does anyone here arrange transport as part of their job, eg company transport manager? How does this affect you? Scheduling etc. – are you aware of company policies and how it could affect you? If anyone here is in senior management / Director this could have serious implications as individuals. More information is available from the HSE Source: Health and Safety Executive (HSE)

Environmental Effects
The average Briton annually produces 4.48 tons of carbon dioxide. (all activities) The world is already experiencing the effects of global warming. Most people take some form of action to try to limit climate change. 3 MINS This is the so- called greenhouse gas, it traps heat inside the earths atmosphere. The environment ministry research figures show that 94% of Britons now believe the world climate is changing, and 57% believe the worlds climate is experiencing global effects of warming. 66% of people surveyed said they were already trying to take personal action to make changes. The Government wants to see emissions drop by 71% by 2020. Source:Commission for Integrated transport (CFIT) What do you think that could be? Relate to personal recycling, newspapers, bottles etc (environment ministry 2007) The Act on CO2

Eco-driving Pump up to cut down Carry less clutter
Drive at an appropriate speed Less stopping and starting means less pollution Over revving accelerates emissions Idling fuel is wasting fuel 5 MINS REFER TO NOTES SHEET PROVIDED Importance of tyre pressure - under-inflated or over inflated tyres increase fuel consumption. How often should you check your tyre pressure? When did you last check yours? Where can you find out what tyre pressure you should have? Handbook, inside car doors, petrol caps etc. Less weight less fuel, do you need all that is in your vehicle? Less wasted fuel = reduced CO2 - Avoid rapid acceleration and heavy braking - accelerate smoothly, even in a traffic jam. Smoother driving can use 30% less fuel. Also, obey the speed limit. Travelling at 50mph can use 25% less fuel than 70mph. Less CO2 into atmosphere Some modern vehicle engine management systems reduce idling speed when waiting. Highway code page 40 rule 123, suggests switch off if stationary for more than a couple of minutes. (environment ministry 2007) The Act on CO2

Comfort Break Explain clearly how long the break is for, reminder of locations of toilets.

Driving at Appropriate Speed
Barriers Why is it so difficult to stick to speed limits? How do we cope with tailgaters? What can we do to help? 5 MINS Interactive, any one tried keeping to the speed limit since getting the ticket? What pressures are you now under? Does the car like doing 30? Have you ever tried using third gear in a 30 zone? Not all cars are suitable for this, but it is an option with the majority of modern vehicles. Something perhaps that you can try. Arguments here will be over increased fuel consumption, however less gear changes and speed changes, generally will keep the consumption lower, using acceleration sense to adjust speed marginally. E.g a straight road with no junctions or delays it will probably be more economical in 4th, however in reality we have many junctions, delays, traffic speeding up then slowing down, using small adjustments of the accelerator is less stressful on the driver. What does a tailgater want you to do? How do they make you feel? In these circumstances what do you need a lot of? Go to next slide

Coping Strategy Concentration Observation Anticipation Space Time
20 MINS – 2 SLIDES Use material from circles to develop the COAST strategy. e.g on board may be lack of concentration, if not perhaps distractions or stress can be used to develop this. Concentration.. How long in an hour can we concentrate for? Approximately 15 –20 minutes. Our concentration is like a caterpillar, up and down, when we are down we are virtually asleep, your road risk is high. When we are alert we are aware of everything. And you`re road risk is low. What do local authorities put out there to get our attention? Signs, paint, street furniture, flashing signs, coloured backgrounds, different road textures, anti skid surfaces. Are we aware of this information when we are not concentrating? No, therefore what other skill are we poor at? Observation. At this stage ask the clients to draw in 5 seconds a give way sign, very few will get it right. Highway Code page 106. Ask them where do they look when they are driving? Draw now observational tunnel vision developing into funnel vision .Using the systematic scanning technique of looking Far,middle,near, rear and speedo. Link thinking time to increased observation, further you look, earlier you see, this will improve your planning, leading to Anticipation is a win,win,win situation. Always think - what if? Expect the worst, the best is a bonus. E.g Ball comes into the road what will follow? What skill have you used? A car waiting to pull out of a side road, either the look of it or the driver says to me they will go, what do I do? Ease off the gas, the driver then does not pull out, have I lost anything? No! But what have I been able to create in front of my vehicle. Space, if you run out of space you will crash. How much space should you have between yourself and the vehicle in front? 2 second rule minimum, Highway Code page 41, 4 seconds in the wet, 10 times ice and snow.You can control a tailgater by creating more space in front of you allowing you to brake earlier and more progressively Time to think/plan/react. The more time you have, less stress, more concentration

What You Can Do? Concentration Observation Anticipation Space Time
Reinforce COAST Tyres and tarmac in a stationary queue of traffic, benefits being, if you are rear shunted you are unlikely to hit the car in front therefore be able to drive home,, you have an escape route, less pollution in your vehicle from exhaust emissions and improved observations ahead. Less stressful

Hazard Perception DVD video clips SP own clips or available from LCC
Interactive discussion to develop problem-solving skills Develop skills in identifying appropriate speed limits 40 MINS Clients Resources, pen and course workbook What is a hazard? Cover moving, fixed and environmental How do local authorities give information, more paint more restraint, more signs more lines = higher risk Explain , you will watch a film clip that will last about a minute, we want you to put a mark on your paper every time you see a hazard. We will then count up how many you have, and go through the clip again, stop start fashion to explain. When they tell you how many they have, which will be different for every client, explain that that is why 95% of crashes are down to us. Because we all have different hazard perception. Start clip 1 and pause explaining how COAST works , systematic scanning, funnel, not tunnel vision, far,middle, near, rear observation technique. Must relate to COAST on white board.

Choosing Our Own Driving Behaviour
Is it safe to speed? Do we think fast driving is skilled driving? What sources of pressure do we have? How do we resist pressures to speed? 3 MINS Majority of drivers feel safe at what they “consider” to be a safe speed – often above the posted speed limit. Refer back to statistics on the role of speed in crashes, and the speed at which a pedestrian would be hit when travelling at different speeds. Skilled driving involves identifying an appropriate speed, and this is often well below the speed limit Pressure in the car – passengers – spouse, children, peers, music, showing off Pressure outside the car – ‘going with the flow’, tailgaters, showing off, time Perceived pressure – how we want to be seen or how we think other people want to see us. We can resist the pressures by anchoring back to the time when we first learnt to drive and the attitudes and beliefs that were then established in us to enable us to acquire our driving licence

Some one / thing affects
Attitudes and Beliefs Cause & Effect Our Beliefs Some one / thing affects our beliefs - causes Attitude Change This directly affects Causes behavioural change We can break the chain 8 MINS Beliefs - relate to development from a child to an adult learning right and wrong, school, college, work etc Then someone or something does something to affect your beliefs, which causes change in your attitude, which can then change behaviour, which can affect someone else's beliefs, causing a change in their attitude, which affects their behaviour, which can directly affect your beliefs. Examples, use a negative and then a positive. Someone cutting you up, someone letting you out. We can break the chain at any point. Causing changes in their attitude This affects their behaviour This affects someone else's beliefs

Attitudes and Beliefs Is speeding safe? 1 MIN Bring up slide:
We have discussed attitudes and beliefs and how they can affect you and others around you. One final question – Click to reveal question – do not say a word for at least 5 seconds – then read the question – then pause for effect! Is there a different reaction from the audience?

Debrief What have you got from this course?
How do you recognise speed limits? What can you do to adhere to limits? Concentration Observation Anticipation Space Time 10 MINS – 3 SLIDES Invite all Clients to offer their own feedback on the course and how to help prevent them speeding in future

What else can you do? Further driver/rider training
Keep your knowledge of the Highway Code up to date Explain what options there are for further training Remind clients of their moral and legal obligation to comply with the Highway Code

Pledge Make your Pledge
Try to identify a particular situation in which you may be at risk of speeding How can you stick to the speed limit in this situation? Make your Pledge Please try and identify a particular situation where you would normally be at risk of speeding. How can you use what you have learnt today to help stick to the limits. Make a Pledge to help remind you in future.
