Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the sports hall (GCSEs are here again, along with depression, stress and anxiety).

Posted on by

Doesn’t time fly? I can hardly believe that once more a querulous cohort of GCSE students are being ushered begrudgingly into sports halls up and down the country with the weight and expectations of their parents resting heavy upon their slender adolescent shoulders.

I remember only vaguely at this vantage point my own GCSE experiences, perhaps it was the heady self assurance of youth, or the lack of expectation from my parents but I don’t remember it being a particularly big deal – but perhaps that is only with the benefit of hindsight. What I do know now is that in the interceding years there has fomented an atmosphere of rank terror and ever mounting pressure. Yes it is true, the students of today stand poised to enter and inherit a very different world and job market than the carefree days of yesteryear but even still the lunacy that accompanies the rhetoric around the importance of exams does perhaps pinpoint quite why we’ve seen the largest surge in diagnoses of anxiety, stress and depression amongst our youth ever.

So this is my antidote to that. All of this, all of the pressure, the expectation, the terror, is white noise, a buzzing fly for the thousands of you for whom these exams represent either the crowning glory of your academic life or a nasty gut punch after toiling for the last two years for what will feel like no good reason.

It may feel like the fate of the universe depends on your GCSE performance, but it really doesn’t. It’s all going to be okay. It’s important to remember that no matter what happens with your GCSEs, it remains a stepping stone and nothing more. A sort of gateway exam as it were. Obviously some of the recent and ongoing changes from alphabetical to numerical have thrown up confused and mixed messages and for many who are possibly university bound, the boundaries that were once so simple differ magnificently from one university to another. Hopefully though this will force schools to look at university entry and offer advice earlier than usual. With certain institutions and courses stipulating what now constitutes a grade C when in old money it was pretty obvious, it may be you’ll need to revise your plans and either do a resit or re-examine where you want to study post A levels. The same is true for certain HNDs, BTECs, Internships etc. who may have minimum requirements in English and Maths but what that shakes out in new money is somewhat subjective.

Your results when they filter through, squatting at the end of the summer holidays like a spectre at a banquet will necessarily impact the choices you make next, but, and it’s an important but – good or bad, nothing is permanent. As much as it feels like the most important thing in the world right now, as long as you’ve done well enough to keep your options open you’ll be just fine. My business partner is one of the smartest people I know, BA from Durham, MA from Warwick, PhD from Columbia, he had lousy GCSE results comparative to his ability and pretty unremarkable A levels if we’re getting into finger pointing. Equally, people I went to school with who performed astonishingly at GCSE level were middle of the pack come A level. As worried as you might be you are only ever really judged on your highest level of accomplishment, so as long as you do well enough to not close down avenues, things will work out just fine if you apply yourself and move forward in a positive fashion.

So no matter whether you’re the big winner or the wooden spooner come results day, try to hold on to the fact that it is, comprehensively, not the end of the road, just a bump in it. You can do resits alongside A levels or BTECs etc, you may need to slightly adjust certain plans to accommodate your new circumstances but you should never submit to feeling like a failure, nor should you be too smug. It all shakes out in the wash and if you know where you want to be, I guarantee if you apply yourself then your GCSEs are just business as usual.

A LED light bar on a police vehicle keeps the officers, you, and me safe

Posted on by

There are hard and fast rules about how, when and why a police vehicle should or would have a flashing LED light bar. They cannot use them in any old situation or just as they feel. There are set guidelines that officers have to follow on when and how to use their LED light bar units. Authorized emergency vehicles have to have some form of light fitted, and most states insist on at least one red light visible 360-degrees at a distance of 1000 ft under normal conditions. Most states will stipulate also that emergency vehicles have an audible device that can be heard within 10 foot of the vehicle.

As each state rule will differ, so does the requirement for lighting. There is no single standard LED light bar so each police department may have different lighting on vehicles. In most states, the activation of emergency lights and siren will only be condoned in an emergency situation. Even then, in certain areas such as residential areas and school zones, the speed limit must be adhered to even when in an emergency situation. When responding to an emergency in some states officers are prohibited from travelling any faster than 20mph over the posted speed limit, even with flashing LED light bar and siren.

You may think you always see police vehicles with full LED light bar but this isn’t the case. They will only deploy the siren and lights when responding to an emergency. When we see a police car speeding down a street with LED light bar flashing and the siren blaring, we probably don’t realize it is only doing so because they need to get to a scene quickly. The safest way to get to any emergency for a police car is to try to clear the road ahead by using lights and siren.

In effect, the use of a LED light bar is to warn us of the vehicles approach and to inform us that they need to pass us quickly. Likewise, if there is an accident ahead on a road, you will see the LED light bar used to advise traffic with the use of arrows and flash patterns. The lightbars on the market today are highly sophisticated and can give a variety of different light options. Many of the units contain the traffic advisor lights, alley lights and take down lights, and such units are invaluable to police vehicles.

The next time you see flashing LED light bar on a police vehicle or hear a siren wail streets away, don’t sigh and say “not again”. In such a situation think, “someone is in need of assistance”. If you or a family member were in trouble or danger, you would welcome the sight of the flashing LED light bar and sound of the siren approaching. Safety of our police officers is paramount, how else can they protect and serve us if they cannot proceed safely to assist us.
