My traffic offenders program experience.

[buddy92]

Hi all. I just feel like writing about the traffic offenders program I completed.

I was ordered to complete a traffic offenders program last april ( also known as TOIP ). I today completed and passed the course.

Even though I was ordered to do it simply because of no P plates, I was complaining about having to do it because I thought it would of been a waste of time. Lets say it was the complete opposite.

We had all the emergency association blokes come in and share there experiences with us and show full unedited pictures and videos, a complete head turner that was.

The biggest thing was a person who had came to do a speach for us, he had been in several accidents which eventually lead to being a quadriplegic. He watched his whole family die at the age of 14, killed another man by drink driving at the age of 17, was put in prison and released into a mental place for about 8 years because he couldn't cope. Was released and then decided to once again go riding a motor bike drunk, and that was his road to becoming a quadriplegic.

I learnt so much about things I never knew, such as the difference that 5km over the speed limit can do, the variances in reaction times alcohol makes. Its a real head turner when you see and hear all these things with you're own ears.

Being a red P plater and having gone through the stupid stage myself, even though I have never done anything illegal, I think I have really and I mean really learned alot from doing this to prevent things from happening in the future.

I would recommend doing the course even if you wasn't asked to if you are young and dumb like me.

Take it from a red P plater, first car is a FG xr6 and I have experience of 1 year.

You will learn a lot.

Thanks
