Chris Gilbert - President of NSAM & former Police Advanced Driving Examiner.

As well as been our groups President Chris has given driver training to Prince William, Prince Harry, The Duchess of York, The Duchess of Gloucester  and the Earl of Ulster.

Chris is one of a elite group of police instructors qualified to teach true high performance advanced driving on the public highway at speeds of up to 155 mph (as allowed by an Act of Parliament).  For more than 22 years Chris trained drivers at these speeds in complete safety, without leaving the road, having a collision or causing one, and not once activating the ABS, thanks to Roadcraft methods and a high visual driving horizon.

Chris was involved with other experts in research to find the best and safest method of cornering on the public highway. This involved hours of controlled testing on the race track, using speed measuring devices to compare different cornering techniques, and different vehicles to compare their handling. The method that gave the safest and most consistent cornering was 'The Limit Point' used in Roadcraft, the official police driver's handbook.

This vast knowledge and experience has been put together by Chris into 'Ultimate Driving Craft', a DVD that aims to improve both drivers and road safety. For more information see his web page here.

As our President he not only attends our Annual Dinner to present pass certificates but he has also visited us in the North Staffs area to give our Observers additional training.
