Why should I attend?

Figures show that there are still many people that drive or ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and do so for a number of reasons. With summer not far away, we see drink and drug drive figures increasing around this time, we need to ensure we are properly equipped to deal with this subject. As trainers, we need to spot signs (including the more subtle ones too), know how to respond, and educate the next generation of drivers and riders with being under the influence, plus how to have that difficult conversation with a learner if you suspect they are under the influence.
