Just a heads up. Soon I should be able to announce a two evening lecture based driving course done by the Basingstoke IAM group - followed by a morning set of "demonstration" drives.

I will be lecturing - along with a couple of compatriots from the group.

Anyone who would like to come along and get an introduction to "Advanced Driving" IAM style - with no pressure to join (although the offer will be there) - might want to watch the forum for a more detailed announcement.

If I knew a few people were interested it would be much appreciated...

The cost will be nominal: I'll let you know when I know.

Very kind of you, mate. You might find its contents a bit similar to things you've already covered recently. It would act as a good refresher, of course.

The course is suitable for the general public. Very expert drivers might find it somewhat basic, to be honest. Existing IAM/RoSPA members would find it familiar. Anyone considering either of those in the near future would find it very useful as an introduction I'd have said...

There's nothing like a refresher.

Since I've passed the test I've only glanced thru Roadcraft and HC once ... obviously I've been practicing every day when i drive.

However, having said that, I learnt some really key things from you. So whos not to say I may pick up a few other things - it would be worth it for that alone.

Can you defect from Group to another?

Hi. Welcome to PH and also to the AD forum. The group committee are having a meet about the course this Wednesday so I hope to be able to post up some details after that.

Bit of a long way for you, isn't it? Two evenings and a Sunday morning it will be...or are you no longer based in Teeside? (As on your profile...)

On another occasion we should sort out a Pie And Advanced Drive meet...

Did someone mention pies?

I'm in London 2-3 days per week and Teesside the rest of the time.

Nigel,

I'm sure Don will be along shortly to help, and should be able to sort it out.

Alternatively, I can drop Shirley an email and see if she can check for yours.
