Brief History
Since 1982 I have given numerous talks to IAM and RoSPA Advanced Driver Groups around the country and as a result I became aware that there is a great hunger for more information about Roadcraft and police advanced driver training methods. In particular, cornering and how to give a full and detailed running commentary.
After retiring from London's Metropolitan Police Service, having covered over a million safe miles of on-road high speed advanced driving instruction, I decided to answer many of the questions I had been posed over the years in the form of a DVD. Hence, Ultimate Driving Craft 1 arrived in November 2007 to much acclaim, as can be seen in a sample three pages of worldwide Customer Reviews. The DVD has been a huge success having sold worldwide to drivers in 33 countries and includes Police Driving Schools, Fire & Rescue, Ambulance Services, Government Departments, The DSA, Road Safety Officers, Driving Instructors, Advanced Drivers and those aspiring to become such.
Ultimate Driving Craft 1
For more than 70 years UK police driving schools have taught commentary driving as a means of developing a high visual driving horizon. The result for the driver is more information, more time to assess, more time to act, superior hazard perception skills and unhurried polished driving; the hallmark of the UK police advanced driver. In this DVD I will explain and demonstrate, in easy stages, the best method of teaching yourself commentary driving building from basics up to police advanced level.
However, this DVD is not just about commentary driving. It also covers town and city driving, motorways, country roads, bad weather driving, making safe progress, positioning and much more, all delivered with a detailed, informative, instructor's commentary. For more information please click the title 'Ultimate Driving Craft 1' in the upper left box.
Ultimate Driving Craft 2 Day & Night
This newly released double DVD builds on the knowledge gained from viewing Ultimate Driving Craft 1. I will unlock the mysteries of safe cornering and explain and demonstrate how the correct entry speed can be achieved into any bend anywhere in the world. Guesswork and gut feel is replaced with a tangible means of assessment resulting in very accurate approach and entry speed into any bend.
In my view the police method of cornering has never been explained in a way that is easy to understand and there is no finer way to explain it than with a moving picture that slowly unfolds aided by clever graphics. Almost every type of bend is covered.
Green Gecko Television Ltd, who I worked closely with during filming and editing of both my DVDs, have done a superb job adding some very clever and interesting graphics and camera angles. You will enjoy what they done in setting new high standards in driving DVDs.
Women driving alone at night
Many times women drivers have asked me what they should do when driving alone at night when they suspect they are being followed. Having taught anti-surveillance driving techniques to the Government Car Service (Ministerial Drivers) I have used those skills to answer that question on the Night Driving disc.
I have also included for interest, a ‘friendly follow’ which is a precursor to police pursuit driver training.
There is much more to the new DVD so please click on the title ’Ultimate Driving Craft 2’ in the upper right box of this page. Equally, for more information about the first DVD click the title in the upper left box.
Early Feedback.
" I watched your latest DVD last night and I had to drag myself off to bed at 1.45am. Some good learning sections for breaking it down for training purposes; thought the way you describe driving through bends - brilliant". TC.
" The method of explanation is excellent as is the description of the limit point. Being a Senior Observer of the IAM and a member of HPC, I hope I never stop learning. My frequent viewing, of various sections within both DVDs will continue this process. Please keep the excellent work up to it's usual high standard". AA.
DVD Quality
By filming in High Definition the Television Editing Studio were able to produce the very highest picture quality obtainable on a DVD. Should Blu-ray become more popular we will be able to produce Ultimate Driving Craft 2 in Blu-ray format. As with the first DVD the new DVD is also in 16.9 widescreen. Both titles are manufactured to the highest professional industry standards and are replicated from a glass master. They are delivered to you in the usual DVD case and sealed in cellophane.
Advanced driving groups & my DVDs
I am delighted that a very large number of advanced driving groups, observers and driver trainers world wide regularly use my DVDs for classroom presentations. My DVDs are also used by police officers, associates and trainees to help prepare them for their advanced driving test. Observers and tutors have told me how much my DVDs help reduce training time and also increase the overall driving standards of their test candidates. I have also had feedback from examiners who say that they are now witnessing a much higher standard of commentary driving from test candidates.
As President of two advanced driving groups, North Staffs IAM and South Devon RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders I am totally committed to supporting IAM and RoSPA groups throughout the UK and to the raising of driving standards nationally. To that end I am available to give help and advice to any driver or any group.
Lending - Copyright
The matter of unauthorised and illegal multi lending of my DVDs by observers, tutors and driving instructors can easily be overcome and made legal. Just e-mail me at
sales@driving4tomorrow.com and include your contact phone number. I will get back to you and suggest several options.
I am very pleased to grant worldwide authorisation for the use of my DVDs to IAM, RoSPA, Driving Instructor and Road Safety Groups for classroom presentations, provided the origin of the DVD is made known to those present.
