Incredible learning taking place for our VQ4 students during their CERAD. Learning the importance of driving using the system of car control, corners and bends and legal exemptions as well as all in vehicle theory before their exam on Thursday.@Scotambservice @SasDriver

There’s no point in stopping to allow a 999 vehicle to pass if in doing so you block the road. Stop or move over where there is plenty of room for them to get around you. Remember to always park legally and never in a way that blocks 999 vehicle access #BlueLightAware

Great picture of three of our students at Loch Lomond taking a break during their extended driver training course.
The last 12 months have been the busiest for SAS in terms of recruitment so thanks to all staff who are helping train our next generation of emergency responders.

Do you know what to do when you see a red X and what it means? Are you #BlueLightAware?

Great situational awareness by this driver here. No sight of the 999 vehicle but he knows it's coming. The driver behind is somewhat annoyed... but this driver has shown exemplary #BlueLightAware skills. 👍🏻
You can act *before* you see the lights of an emergency vehicle. Good awareness means you'll hear the sirens first. I saw the bus stopping and realised if I continued it would impede the emergency vehicle coming towards me. Much to the annoyance of the driver behind 🤦🏻♂️🚑 @swasFT
