Hello I've been tasked with learning the Highway Code for an initial test. I'm a bit lost amongst the 307 rules and 144 pages of the little green book. As a police officer, and moreso, as a student officer, which are the main areas I need to be spending my time learning? I'm guessing it's things like speed, stopping distance, alcohol limits etc. Things which are common offences on the roads. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I was hoping someone could help me with a bit of advice. I am currently applying to the met, just completed my day 1 and awaiting my results nervously! However, I may need to leave my job in the next month or so and possibly move address. I was just wondering, if am successful at day 1 and the remainder of the process, what likely impact changing jobs and/or home will have on the vetting and reference process. I expect it will cause a delay, but will it have any other affects? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Cheers

Who else was there with me? Hope you are all feeling good today. (I was the girl with the bad ankles that nearly flopped during the bleep test) - Just an update on that note. Turns out I have suspected minor stress fractures and yep, am on crutches. Not a good look!! That'll teach me to run with the wrong shoes on! But at least I got through it.

OKay i dont know of what relevance this topic will be to people however im sure someone can find something usefull from it. Just got back about an hour ago from edinbrough where i met the Lothian and borders recruiting team and had a good hour long chat with them about various issues ranging from Interview procedure to general policing and i can say they were more than helpfull, plenty of experiance floting about with 5 inspecters, 1 sergent and a number of constables evan the Deputy chief constable was presant so i gained a huge insite into the Policing and recruitment issues up there and must say it was well worth the £200+ Travel fees, so i strongly urge anyone who …

I've got my assessment day 2 with the MET on 04/09/09 and have a few queries... Is there a grip test with the MET? And a woman i spoke to over the phone at the recruitment centre mentioned something about joggin on the spot? ... though she wasn't too sure. I have been told you can have three attempts at the fitness test.... does this mean three attempts on the day or at later dates? (sorry probably a silly question i just want to clarify it) Would really appreciate my clueless questions answered :) thanks kirstie
