Sounds like it might be just right for me.

Feck no! Something i've been meaning to do for a long time. Now seems as good a time as any. Bit of spare bunce etc. France made me realise i could have pushed a bit harder in places with better technique.

How to drive properly

The IAM is cheap, it is a charitry that encourages good road driving, the main point for me was they taught me better observation, oh and most insurance companies recognise them so you will get a discount on your insurance renewal.
I'd use RoSPA rather than the IAM tbh

Depends upon your aims.

I'd personally first get sorted on general roadcraft and awareness, ie IaM, Rospa, ride Drive etc.

Secondly, if you are interested (and I know you are) get some personal tuition on a track. I would do it in your own car, be that at something like the 1st Lotus day. Or do a track day + min 20 mins tuition with a pro driver.


Oh-I've seen first hand your driving (overtake & Merc driver )

With the IAM, you get all the exams and stuff, but do you do much practise???
