Hi ladies and gents
Does anyone of you lovely people know of a good course/company where I can take an advanced driving skills course to help reduce my insurance premiums after a ban.

I have done a few driving course with my old job bit no certificate was given as the lovely civil servants don't like to do that for people like me.

I am picking up an M3 in July and will pay the premium but, I just want to try and get it down a bit at least about 5-10 percent.

Thanks in advance.

Please no stupid comments

Oh ban was for speeding in a government car. Audi S6!!

Hi David,

Your best bet is one of the OCN Nationally Accredited courses that RideDrive run:
www.ridedrive.co.uk/do-ocn-t02cn.htm

Successful completion gives you a 25% insurance discount via Adrian Flux:

RideDrive have instructors on the books who're highly experienced in coaching drivers just like yourself, so that you can enjoyably get the most out of an M3 whilst remaining discrete wink ('Third party perception' being one of the key skills taught.)

thumbup I did one of these courses on my Ducati and it was incredibly rewarding, in terms of both driving and insurance saving. In your case, I'd recommend RideDrive over an IAM Skills for Life programme.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.

You're welcome smile I hope RideDrive was able to help you.

If and when you arrange your course, I'd strongly encourage you to do two half-days instead of one full day. You can reach information saturation after half a day, plus you need time for new skills to sink in before you can build on them.

Enjoy the course biggrin ! If you've any more queries, just post here and someone will be able to help.

Cheers smile
