Advanced driving skills - Protec Training

Advanced driver training from a Protec Training instructor. UK instructor gives demonstration on and off-road of how it should be done and students then take the wheel in the final stages of training. This is real time and on teh UK roads in emergency services vehicles - which is why they can exceed speed limits. You can't!

Good demo in the main. I agree nigel that the extreme o/s is only for fully trained police advanced level as it takes great disicpline and skill to use it safely. Unfortunatly I fear standard response and ambulance driver training is not compreshensive to cover enough for a student to learn correct application. Also you have taken a great risk posting it here someone like urbex may and it to the drive to tragic effect.

@jbsportstech We note with interest the comments this video has generated. The aim of this video is for students coming on our courses to get a flavour of what to expect and to enable prospective clients to judge the standard of training being provided. What you see here is certainly not for amateurs and requires considerable training, awareness and skill to to carry it out safely. It is however taught on standard courses accross all services now and used daily - accidents are actually rare!

Hi,

quite keen to know where this took place. I hear the Scottish accent and see roads that resemble Ayr?!

Who is initally doing the driving and in what car? Is it a police/ambulance?

Cheers.

Very good,people could learn alot from this.

The initial phase is in Helensburgh with later sections in the west end and city centre of Glasgow. The initial demo drives are in an unmarked Jeep 4x4 which was on hire and the marked military police vehicles for the response phase are a Vauxhall Astra and Vectra. The young lady is driving a high capacity Transit van with crew cab and prisoner cage. They are Royal Navy Provost (Military Police) staff who have a policing and a nuclear accident/incident response role. The instructor is also RN.

Thanks for that. What about your instructoer. Did he recieve his training in the miltary?

Again, I think his drive was a good one. No showboating like other persons on this website!

He was trained by two different UK police forces.

Am I the only one that cannot understand him?

I thought they were speaking german for  like 3 minutes till I realized he was speaking in a Scottish accent.

@mikeyo1234 this advice makes perfect sense, read a book called roadcraft and the explanation is clear. Limit Point Analysis. People don't realise until they complete a course such as this is that prior to any manouvere there is an ongoing 'information' phase. The point is that if there is insufficent clear road/view then the driver will return to their own side of the road. People do not even have a chance to react because before the realise where the police car is it is back onto its own side

@urbex2007 rather extreme claim there about police killing so many people in accidents due to careless or dangerous driving. I might drive on 15 of these runs per shift, that works out at about 3000 per year. I have been doing so for almost 2 years and am yet to have any sort of accident. I work on a team of 15 and no one from my team has had an accident driving in this way. I do know of people who have had accidents but your generalisation is actually offensive to the people who drive well
