you can go to knockhill and do advanced drivers courses aswell, im goin for my birthday!! but yea its a good idea, dont see many young folk going for it tbh
Turtle: Yeah!!! youre the first I think to break the ice no pun intended. Ive been a part of the group for a few years now and I don't regret it one bit.
Faz:How much are the Knockhill courses? Sounds good
Is that a track-based course or road-based course?
I wish I still got stuff for my birthday.:-S...lol
I went out with the regionnal driving super-hero the otherweek (He trains and examines the police drivers fleet...including pursuit blues & twos) and it was a REAL eye opener........
......and guess what????
YES!.........He used to have a K10 and really bigged-them up.
He was well chuffed doing a session in a K10.
Is anyone having difficulty with the link....I cant seem to get at the domain since a few hours ago,,,

The link will work for anyone...even visiting guests (so tell your friends ;-) ), I followed it a moment ago while 'logged out' and it was fine. I guess it was just a problem with my internet service or the linked to's server..
Demarest, yeah super cheep and the quallity of the training is IMO the most thorough and highest quallity for civilian driving. reason it costs so little is that the local groups are run entirely of quallified volunteers, so theres no lining of pockets.....just a whole bunch of enthusiasts who care about others learning the skills.
Nice one chaps & chapesses

Advanced driving on a track is TOTALLY different to advanced driving on the road...

Hi Gurpreet
In case you havent allready seen it.. there is a link to a paper in this thread
http://www.micra.org.uk/t14275-how-good-are-you-at-driving-your-favourite-set-of-wheels.html
And discusion can go here:
http://www.micra.org.uk/t14276-disc...-at-driving-your-favourite-set-of-wheels.html
Ive coppied this into the discussion...mabe a swift handed admin dude could clean the speed cams thread ...
Anyway to summarise I think the IAM is around £75 but the RoSPA is (for the northeast region) £15......or £10 if under 25 years of age....that gets u the membership then tuition sessions are free after that.....but price varies from region to region so check out your local group for membership prices. Ther is a link to find your local group in the paper.
AND...if you decide that you want to go for the test the test is graded to 2 standards higher than the IAM
IAM pass is considered to be equivelant to RoSPA 'Bronze pass'
RoSPA than has 'Silver' and 'Gold' pas standards to..

R.o.s.p.a.
It isn't only the RoSPA that do advanced driving courses. I.A.M. is the other one. Institute of Advanced Motorists, sounds good do'nt it?
You'll find their number in the phone book. Once again it's a charitable organisation, non profit making.
I did it some time ago, and yes it certainly teaches you how to drive better, and be more road savvy. Don't put it off for too long, it'll also lower your innsurance quote!!!
