1. A professional driver ?
The following course has been designed so that you may be in a position to spend as much time on each slide as you deem fit. How you interact with your students and how they interact with you is of course down to your interpretation of the subject matter. Some of the films are quite graphic and hard hitting and will cause a shock reaction, it is therefore advisable to gauge your students ability to deal with these types of situations. As with all course content it is entirely down to the trainers experience and approach to the subject matter that gives the student the best benefit. We have tried to make it as easy as possible for you to do this.

2. Course contents Speed awareness Spacial awareness
Seat belts & their use
Hazard perception
Fatigue & distraction
Drink driving
Drugs awareness
It is advisable to give a general introduction talk on each subject and its place within the structure of the presentation/course

3. Speed facts; severity of injury is linked closely to speed
If you hit a pedestrian in a car at:
2.5 % will be killed 20 30
20% will be killed
These speeds are for the car industry and as such do not reflect the incidences of lorry and bus accidents. It is most important that you spend time on a discussion about the extra size of the larger vehicles and discuss the consequences therein
50% will be killed 35 40
90% will be killed

4. What would be the 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
Before and on each bullet point there should be an interaction with the students by having them first guess what they (the consequences are) before the reveal and then discussing the actual consequence listed. You may also wish to have the students “guess” what comes next. It may also be worth a mention to the students that each and every vocational licence holder will have to stand before the traffic commissioner before they get their (vocational) licence returned after any disqualification.

5. It is also known as depth perception
Spacial awareness
What is it?
It is the ability to comprehend 2D & 3D space
It is the cognitive reasoning to grasp the relationship and orientation of an object to its environment & any neighbouring objects
It is also known as depth perception

6. Lets look at the next few pictures and gain a small understanding
Lets look at the next few pictures and gain a small understanding! Which part of this picture is moving?
No part of the picture is in motion. The human eye can only concentrate on one spot at any given time and the brain compensates on the complexity of the picture by giving the illusion of movement as we scan the whole image.

7. hazard perception relies on the four stages of L.A.D.A.
Scanning the road, recognising at the first opportunity from the clues that a potentially
dangerous situation might arise and adopting a driving plan to reduce the risk
hazard perception relies on the four stages of L.A.D.A.
LOOK
ASSESS
DECIDE
ACT

8. We all think that we have good hazard awareness skills and that we are observant
look at the next few slides and find out
A general driving situation
A picture on the M5
A street in the UK
Discuss each one, you will find that you all have differences in your perception of a hazard

9. Facts 2014 1,115 deaths drink drive related
1,480 serious injuries drink drive related
8,050 drink drive accidents
Just below the limit 4 times more chance of having a road crash
At the legal limit 6 times more chance of having road crash
33% of men and 25% of women classified as hazardous drinkers.

10. Now lets have a look at exactly how much time
HOW DO YOUR FIGURES STACK UP?
22.00hrs, 4th Pint (568ml) Premium 5% Alc/Vol, Added to the first 3 pints.
= units
= 9.4 hours to expel
Now lets have a look at exactly how much time
23.00hrs, 5th Pint (568ml) Premium 5% Alc/Vol, Added to the first 4 pints.
= units
= hours to expel
We expel alcohol at the rate of 1 unit per hour after the first hour 
Total consumed
= 5 pints (2.84L)
= 14.2 units
From start to end of drinking
= ½hrs
After the last drink of the evening it will take at least 11.2 hours to expel all of the alcohol and this means that the drinker will still have 7.2 units of alcohol in the body at 06.00hrs
10:12am
Remember that your Maximum intake should be no more than:
Daily
Men 3-4 Units
Women 2-3 Units
Weekly
Men - 21 Units
Women - 14 Units
And it is considered harmful if you reach:
Men - 50 Units
Women - 35 Units
21.00hrs, 3rd Pint (568ml) Premium 5% Alc/Vol, Added to the first 2 pints.
= 8.5 units
= 8.5 hours to expel
20.00 hrs, 2nd Pint (568ml) Premium 5% Alc/Vol, Added to the first pint.
= 5.7 units
= 6.7 hours to expel
Take the time to understand the complexities of this particular slide as you must get the facts correct for yourself before passing on the knowledge and discussing the facts with the students.
19.00hrs finished the 1st Pint (568ml) Premium 5% Alc/Vol
= 2.8 units
= 3.8 hours to expel
