I wonder how much it would cost, assuming the legalities could be sorted, to give all riders and drivers who wanted it (and let's face it, not everybody enjoys going fast - I've got friends who won't even drive on motorways if they can be avoided) something approaching that level of speed training. Would economies of scale then make it cheaper to train police as well? Sounds win, win to me.

Oh, andreis and Ralph, you're right about the 4x4 numpties. I've always assumed it's the totally false level of confidence that the symbols "4x4" seem to give. If you have to go for the brakes doing 70 in the snow lane, you're going sideways, no matter what you're driving.
