An excellent 2 day course for Approved Driving Instructor Trainers who need to move away from PST style training delivery in preparation for the upcoming changes to the ADI qualifying process. Are you a trainer already? Is your training focused around the pre-set tests for the Part 3 qualifying exams to become a DVSA approved driving instructor? Do you want to keep ahead of the game by gaining an understanding of how the DVSA National Driver Rider Training Standards which are going to play a much bigger part in the way that people qualify as ADIs? The background to the changes We know that the DVSA will replace the ADI Part 3 test of instructional ability with a Standards Check. They have announced that they hope to do this within a year. This two-day course will focus on how to update your training so that it is client-centred learning and will fit the DVSA National Driver and Rider Training Standard. You will be able to go away and start implementing these techniques into your ADI training, whilst still preparing your customers for the existing Part 3 test. When the Standards Check is introduced you will be able to switch easily to the new format. What happens on the course The first day will be spent in the classroom and the second day will be out in the car. The course looks at lesson planning, risk management, teaching and learning strategies and role play and focuses on training people to become driving instructors, rather than just getting them ready to pass a test. There are only six places available on the course so book early for 18th and 19th July. www.drivinginstructortrainingcourse.co.uk Tri-Coaching Partnership 0800 058 8009 www.tri-coachingpartnership.co.uk This e-book comes in PDF format and is the first in a series of three that introduces the reader to the Goals for Driver Education. In 20 pages and seven chapters it shows how the GDE is constructed and gives a series of real-life examples that help driving instructors get to grips with how to address the Goals for Driver Education during their driver training.
Traditional driver training focuses on the first two levels of the Goals for Driver Education (GDE) because this is all that is needed to get someone ready to take their L test. However, when one in five newly qualified drivers is involved in a serious crash within the first six months of passing their test, clearly something is missing. The e-book shows you how to address the higher levels of the GDE and also develop self-evaluation skills in new drivers, which will give them a better chance of staying safe once qualified. Purchase the book here for just £3 An experiment conducted by TRL and involving adult triplets has demonstrated the ‘terrifying effects of sleep deprivation’ in relation to driving.
Funded by Time4Sleep.co.uk, the experiment concluded that reaction times become significantly slower and the risk of falling asleep at the wheel increases significantly through a lack of sleep, even in the short term. The experiment tested the driving ability of triplets Robert, Steven and Patrick Davis, the morning after they experienced different periods of sleep. Robert was afforded the luxury of a full night’s (normal) sleep, Steven a disrupted sleep (thanks to a lifelike robotic baby) while Patrick remained awake all night. The next day the triplets each drove the same driving simulator, made as true to real life as possible. They were asked to stick to the inside lane of the three-lane motorway and drive at a constant speed of 60mph. They also had their heart rate monitored. The results revealed that even disrupted sleep can have a huge impact on driving ability. Robert (normal sleep) had no fatigue alerts from the heart rate monitor and the fewest lane departures (30 departures and a total of 39 seconds out of his lane). This compared to four fatigue alerts and 58 lane departures lasting a total of one minute and 40 seconds for Steven (disrupted sleep), while Patrick (no sleep) recorded 12 fatigue alerts and 188 lane departures, equivalent to six minutes and 26 seconds. Interestingly, Steven, who had a disrupted sleep, had the slowest reaction time (a mean of 1.66 seconds) compared to 1.48 seconds for ‘no sleep’ Patrick and 1.02 seconds for ‘full sleep’ Robert. In a separate Time4Sleep survey of 1,000 drivers, 83% of participants admitted to driving tired while a third felt they had put others at risk by doing so. Simon Tong, principal psychologist at TRL, said: “The findings of our experiment reveal just how important it is to only undertake driving when feeling alert and having had sufficient sleep. The key finding here was how affected Steven was with disrupted sleep as this is most common to real life. “One dangerous aspect of fatigue is how it can come and go quite suddenly. You can get a false impression that you’ve overcome it, only to find that it strikes again a short time later when you perhaps aren’t expecting it. “Robert’s drive was near perfect, which is to be expected of someone who has had 7-8 hours sleep as he did. However, Patrick was driving on a different level, with terribly slow responses, imprecise motor skills and a self-confessed lack of control. “He was unable to stick to a lane or speed and his driving performance was akin to being drunk, if not worse.” Iain Temperton, director of communications for Road Safety GB, added: “We commend Time4Sleep.co.uk for investing the time and effort to highlight this very important issue. “As you hear in the video, one in five road crashes are attributed to fatigue, which makes it a significant factor when considering the safety of our road network. “Many of us have experienced disturbed nights looking after children and many of us have also driven the following day. Driving or riding a vehicle is a responsibility; this video clearly shows us that doing so on reduced levels of sleep increases the likelihood of death or injury. “I would urge all drivers to watch this video.” |
