  • How much responsibility should ADIs take for the actions of their students post test
    Apr 28 2024

    Project EDWARD's James Luckhurst joins me to discuss a variety of topics.

    James shares some examples of people he recently encountered while policing, including a young driver who had recently passed her test. This prompted me to ask how much responsibility ADIs should take for their student's post-test.

    The Project EDWARD podcast: My Role in the Safe System, is a fascinating listen, full of short interviews.
