Carole started her love of motoring at the age of 16 with her acquisition of a Honda C50. Later, four wheels followed and shortly after passing her driving test Carole joined her local IAM group where she remained for 32 years; the last 17 years were as chief car observer. Whilst Carole was bringing up her daughters she worked from home as a self employed dressmaker but her life changed dramatically when she joined the ambulance service in 1994, firstly as a member of patient transport services before moving over to the emergency side. As a result Carole completed two driving courses with the ambulance service-these were to ignite her passion in driving. In 2003 Carole joined Thames Valley Police as a standard response instructor before further training and achieving her Police Class 1 status in 2007; a few months later Carole qualified as an advanced instructor. Since then Carole has trained Police officers and outside agencies in advanced driving, and also trained potential new driver trainers. Carole retired from TVP in July 2022.
