Please forgive me if you get asked this a lot, but should I sign up with the IAM for a course of lessons which I understand culminates in an advanced driving qualification & a years membership of the Institute?

You will not be surprised that the idea stems from a recent speed awareness course. Yes, guilty as charged, I was travelling in excess of 30mph in a 30 limit so I paid the money, avoided the points and spent an afternoon with a group of equally guilty people.

I enjoy driving and found plenty of common sense in what was said and like to think that, generally, I am not a bad driver. I was a biker a long time ago & always feel that serves me well in that I expect the worst of the drivers around me.

My questions are:

Is this a good time of year to sign up (it is for me as not much motoring stuff going on 'till later in the year)?

Will I enjoy it (or is there some danger of being bored)?

Will it be some old codger turning up to put me in my place? wink
