Fighting Back
The second part of our investigation into knife crime looks at a project designed to tackle the problem head on. It’s not run by a nagging teacher or a finger-wagging policeman, but a genuine expert on the subject of knives; Mark Davies is a professional martial arts instructor and Combative instructor to Special Forces. End of Term caught up with him to discuss his ‘Cutting Edge’ programme.
I asked Mark to outline what his programme is all about. “Basically the Cutting Edge programme aims to get young people to understand the consequences of using a weapon.” Illustrating further he says: “we really try to bring home exactly what will happen not just in their own lives but in the lives of everybody around them if they decide to go down that route. It’s a lecture based presentation.”
The driving license is one of a handful of ‘must have’ qualifications. Here are our top tips on passing the dreaded driving test. Good Luck!
Your driving test examiner will direct you through the route of the test which will contain a selection of typical road and traffic conditions. They will also ask you to carry out a series of set exercises. You’re bound to make mistakes during the test. The perfect driver is still to be found. You can still pass a test with 15 minor faults or less (although one serious fault will mean failing).The examiner is looking for a safe overall standard of driving. The test isn’t easy and you’ll need sufficient preparation before you are ready to take it. Around 46% of people pass their driving test but the percentage of first time passes is much smaller than this figure.
