    Hi guys,
    there doesnt seem to be much talk or info about advanced driving courses. I'm 22 and would like to develop my driving skills for myself. Not too bothered about insurance prices just want to be confident in my own skills to deal with any issue that arises on the road.

    Has anyone here been on any courses/ taken tests etc for advanced drving. Would you recommend doing it? Where can they be done?

    Thanks for the info!

    Take your car to Mondello or a similar track, and preferably with an Instructor, lose it on a corner:)

    Like I said, go to a track for car handling skills.

    Then try to find an organisation that can teach roadcraft.


    I assume you want car not bike tuition.

    I've been to Mondello twice and enjoyed it both times-but it didn't improve my roadcraft and it didn't reduce my insurance policy;)

    Although the iami site doesn't show a link for lessons - this might help:

    ISM Advanced Driver Training

    Wouldn't mind giving it a whirl myself!

    Is that not the point of the tuition received there? You know, the whole theory session beforehand apparently aimed at improving one's roadcraft. Maybe I missed something in the transalation that obviously you didn't.

    Anyway OP unneccesary nonsense aside try the website mentioned above it should help.
