JAMES WARD DET DERADI RoSPA(Dip) Police Adv.(1) CERAD ADI(A) CAVA IQA
Advanced & Emergency Response Driving Education Consultant
I empower motorists to become the best drivers they are capable of being and assist them in achieving their driving aspirations through effective client centred learning and behavioural coaching methods by faithfully according to Roadcraft and the System of Car Control.
As an ex-Traffic Police Officer of The Metropolitan Police Service with a career spanning over 20 years of front-line emergency services industry experience and a subject matter expert as a consultant in advanced and emergency response driver education I truly believe in better standards having a proven track record for my passionate, personable, and professional approach to driver education specialising in advanced systematic police-method and behavioural techniques.
As an ambassador for promoting road safety and having personally attended countless serious and often unfortunate fatal road traffic collisions where driver error has been a major cause, I have seen first-hand where the benefits of advanced and defensive driving techniques could have been used which would have prevented such incident in the first place. I truly believe that the techniques of advanced and defensive driving are ongoing and something that requires constant development to strive to be the best drivers we can through development of cognitive driver behaviour and ongoing reflection for betterment.
