07DefenderSeb:
I have been thinking of taking my test with the Institute of Advanced Motorists, and have checked out their website for how to go about it.

Have any Mud-Clubbers joined IAM lately? How did you find the process, and what real effect has it had on your insurance?

Ta,

SB

Bush Tucker Man:
I started the tuition a few years ago, having been told on my intial assesment that I'd only take perhaps 5 'lessons' to get up to scratch.

Sadly due to shift patterns at the time, I couldn't guarantee my instructor that I would be free, so it all lapsed.

Might consider starting again & surprising the assessor by turning up in the 110 :lol:

I wonder what he/she would make of the ability to drive practically 'everywhere' (on the road) in 4th/5th?

Lostboy:
I did the test.

Now my real driving test I passed first time - first advanced test ahem turned right in the path of an on-coming car. Just in case the examiner didn't notice (hard considering he was almost scraping himself off the windscreen when I jammed the brakes on) I went and did it again ten minutes later.  :oops:

Needless to say, my name does not grace the membership list of the Institute of Advanced Motorists.

Join the Emergency Services and do it for free. A bit drastic, I know, but hey, thanks to the ability of the Human Race to make a complete a*se of itself, you'll never be out of a job! :wink:

got free IAM training when a bought a Daewoo(ok, ok) a few years back.

The training was vary...erm.....anal, and to be honest, didnt make me feel more confident in some areas. It felt very alien, and despite me gettin the course for free, I quit and didnt come back.

I guess its not for everyone, some may like and approve of it, I didnt.

You would spend a better day doing a skid control day or similar in my opinion.(now theres an informative and fun experience) :lol:
