Is there any advanced driving courses which you don't need a car.

Motorbike advanced driving courses, presumably :rotfl:

Seriously, I gather BSM offer some sort of advanced driving courses which can be done in their cars if necessary.

Don't do it just for the insurance discount!

It's no longer competitive (ie you get cheaper insurance elsewhere anyway without the advanced driving qualification)

Isn't there a possible scenario whereby the cheapest company (from a price comparison site) also offers a discount for advanced drivers?

In choosing a course maybe worth thinking about how involved the police are with the local group, eg some ROSPA meetings seem to happen on police premises. Presumably police officers have some input, and obviously they are 'the' experts on advanced driving. (I think assessors for ROSPA and IAM all hold police driving certs).

Thanks for the feedback, but don't you need to remain a member to get the insurance discount?

That's correct but when I was a member I found I could always get lower quotes than the membership ones.

Can you tell us why?

Friendlier, more focussed on the driving side rather than concerned with "being an organisation"

Just my opinion.
