Police Roadster review

Me and my class attended a police roadster day and we were expected to write a review with the best peice of writing getting published. My peice of work was the best and got published onto the college website.

Thinking I was going to have a touch of the winter blues today was a mistake, as my day was brightened up by officers of the Essex police. Their witty banter made the day flow with ease, but the serious side was never lost as we watched distressing videos of children, partners, friends and family who had died because of the stupidity of drivers.
The 'Roadster Day' started off with my group learning about Trading Standards. By the end of the session I realised I’d need to take the Trading Standards officer with me when buying my first car because he knew so much. The clever tricks were extremely beneficial, the most memorable being the 'one pound coin check' which you can use to make sure there aren’t any big gaps on the vehicle's outer body.
The Essex road safety team had the saddest topic to present. The stories and videos they shared were very emotional. You’d have to have very thick skin not to be touched. However, I haven’t just remembered this session with upsetting thoughts, as the two officers who presented this topic were the most charismatic out of the day.
After the break came the most exiting part of the day, as my group got to have a driving lesson. For most of us this was the first time we had driven a car. As most of us are also wanting to start driving lessons soon it proved really helpful and gave us the confidence to want to start as soon as possible, and get us off public transport forever! Later on in the day we had the lesson of how to start the process of actually becoming a driver.
The Fire Service talk was all about serious issues. There were no laughs and jokes in this session as the presentation was full of a catalogue of deaths. They also introduced us to the ripple effect, where one small accident will create a ripple of events. This session was not the only session where we learnt about the ripple effect as it was spoken about throughout the whole day.
An interesting fact baffled me at the end of the day: with every fatal crash that occurs £1,700,000 is spent in trying to mend the lives that are destroyed.
