Done It when I passed my test. Piece of piss to pass but I didn't find It lowered your insurance. Perhaps saved you 20 quid but the course Is suppsoed to be 150 i think.

What is it exactly.

[maty j 6]

Just a course that aims to improve young drivers and they allways splash on In the advert that It lowers your premiums which I found Is bollox. Theres a 2-3 hr theory sesion which Is mostly common sense and alot of what you should allready know. The rest Is just out driving with the instructor and doing a small bit of in car theory. You're supposed to do a selection of different modules, driving In rain, snow, wind, fog, night etc but I don't think anyone sticks to It so you just do the alocated time and get the certificate.

Hi

 

For what its worth, I took my test just over a year ago in Denmark...Part of the coarse was Night driving, Motrway driving, Skid pan, And country roads at night. And fog.

plus a lot of what i thought was a load of poo, theory. All were part of the learning package. It was a very valuable set of skills learnred.

 

So If you ask me go for it and learn as much as you can. Its all skills to help keep you alive after all................. I hope this helps.

thanks for the replies folks iv just found out perth and kinross council pay 50% of it so i think its probily well worth doin

20 quid mine cost through a similar scheme with the council. Part of the problem Is you don't drive In the conditions they say to as you simply can't time the 1-2hr lesson to be icey, foggy etc. It sounds better what you have over there llanevitt going on the pan. They don't do that here so quite often the first time young drivers loose traction It's all still new and there left floundering and still drifting towards a collision.
