Re: I passed my advanced test today.
Well done indeed, that's a real achievement. Make sure you treat this as the start of your AD journey and not the end.

Re: Live Fast, Drive Hard - My RoSPA Diary
Some interesting replies guys, thanks to you all. :) ...Nick, get the book read and watch the videos; they're really good. The book is very much a 'real world Roadcraft for civvies' with some nice anecdotes and real life examples. Cough ... ... I do have his book, although I haven't had time to open...

Re: Live Fast, Drive Hard - My RoSPA Diary
Having spent two days with top professionals, you may be rather far along the advanced driving journey to benefit much from a typical Rospa tutor, who will probably not have had that privilege. That is not to discourage you from further sessions with your tutor - driving with fellow enthusiasts is ...

Nick, you probably just know it by another name, or don't call it anything specific. For the benefit of those who ...

Re: Live Fast, Drive Hard - My RoSPA Diary
Thanks guys, I'm glad you thought it worth writing up. :) Nick, as I said I did have to abridge it as otherwise I could easily have filled several more pages lol.

Re: Another Škoda owner (and ADUK refugee)
Definitely something to think about martine, but with a pregnant wife and a 10 month old who's just learnt to crawl I might be pushing my luck for this time around! I'll definitely try though.
