Ted I have been challenged by some of my more persistant critics, that I should offer a couple of gash 4 hour driving courses.

I am prepared to do this to anyone who would like to take the opportunity to suffer the 4 hours in my apparently irritating company.

However the choice I feel has to be down to you. Who do you think would benefit most?
Or on the flip side be best to criticise most?

INCLUDING IF I MUST MY OLD MATE 'OUTLAW' whom has been conspicuous by his absence recently. Maybe he is on holiday

That sounds jolly decent of you. How's about auctioning your sessions for charity?

If we blow through a speed camera, you can't remember who was driving, right?

I'm sure a further charitable donation could be made on that basis

Don't know if this would work, Ted, but how about auctioning the sessions by e-mail, sent to you, then announcing the winners at the next PH meet? Just a thought....

Thats fine by me. As long as it all goes to the Benevolent fund (joking)
(you chose the charity)

The only stipulation is that I wont be able to cover everyone in the country/world as I live in the East end of Berkshire.

Couple of thoughts:

1) Could you use ebay uk to auction it off? (supposing they do private auctions?)

2) Let's remember the charidee suggestions offered (I think) by Domster of choosing a charidee of appropriate sort such as Cancer of the man-parts Research Fund or some such.

3) A raffle with a £5? ticket price could be an alternative.

Is this allowed? I thought you guys weren't allowed to moonlight?

You are right. We cannot moonlight unless with permission from the Cheif Constable. These days this is given without question as long as there is not a conflict of interests.

In this case it wouldn't be moonlighting anyway as I am doing it for no payment!

Madcop,
I'm up for it, I can organise a track near here, all you need is to get a flight Luton-Zürich with Easy Jet and all costs hotel etc from Zürich back to Zürich taken care of.. I'd organise about 20 guys here in SW Germany and Switzerland who'd love to learn from you. We can of course also do some real road work i.e. no cameras no speed limits and really use the cars........ Mind you we're all LHD here.. I take you can drive a LHD? ::::::::: no I'm not extracting the urine!!!
