I can assure you with grandchildren of my own it really hit home. I do not speed at all since. Those people who think speed limits don't apply to them just put yourself in that position

I always used a hard hitting video in basic training and also the advanced driving courses. I believe it was called Accident in Park Road. It was very hard hitting and involved a car/child collision. The silence and facial expressions proved how effective it was.
I was also fortunate enough to be invited to a North Yorkshire Police seminar which although aimed at reducing the young driver death rate, provided a load of material for our PSV training.
