Just got back from a great day (Despite missing the GP) spent with Essex Police.
When I passed my DAS i was eager to carry on training, my instructor at the time urged me to do the Police Bike Safe simply as it's a cheap start.
Awesome day, we had the weather for it, and covered almost 200 miles. Two riders with one Police instructor.
Learnt so much, and my riding style has changed drastically already!
Had a bit of a shaky start, as I've just done a number plate change on the back, and although they weren't bothered about the size (7 x 4.5) the 'Ride it like you stole it' lettering, and the integrated indicator (Which I find out is in fact illegal) didn't do me any favours!
Cracking run out, with the instructor recommending I go straight on to my IAM once today's tips have sunk in (So I'll be following in JP's footsteps hopefully)!
Highly advise it to anyone, not sure about how other regions compare. Had a great lunch up in Burnham too (Part of the price).
