347.0. "Intensive Driving Courses ?" by IPG::CAIRNS (Alistair Cairns) Mon Oct 10 1988 13:49

    
    
    Does anyone have any experience of intensive driving courses for
    learners ? Where you do 5 or so days on the trot and ( so they say )
    get up to driving test standard. Are they any good ? Know of any run in
    the Reading area ?

	Re 1287.114 (Defensive Driving topic, question on courses) Perhaps this topic would suit for further replies ? Extracted from previous reply :- � Try 'phoning the IAM, they've been helpful in the � past. Tel. 01-994-4403 (24 hours). I know that Brands Hatch used to advertise Skid Pan training, you would have to search further for their number. I also know that Pentti Airikkala holds driver training course in conjunction with Lancia (using Thema turbos and integrale 16v cars with two steering wheels and two sets of pedals). I have been on a 'Rally Driving Course' held by him, using these same vehicles and found him a good instructor. Recently there was an 'extra' with Performance Car or Fast Lane, which listed (and went on) a number of these courses. I do not think I still have that, but maybe some other noter has... J.R.

347.4	'Rally Course' was a special...	CHEST::RUTTER	Rutter the Nutter	`Wed Nov 28 1990 14:23`	22
	� Can you supply the details for the Pentti Airikkala courses please. Unfortunately, the 'Rally Driving' course was a special that he put on two years ago, after his Lancia drive on the RAC. The subsequent year, he won the event in a Mitsubishi. (This year, he has crashed out in a Ford - luckily, no injuries) I will have a look through mags etc. tonight, to see if I can find details of the 'road driving' course, which I think went under the name 'Advanced Driving Programme'. I was also given his home number, but have not had the front to use it - if really necessary, I could perhaps ring for details ? (name dropping, name dropping, what a bore!) In that magazine 'extra' I mentioned, I remember that it also included some course run by John Lyons, don't remember the others. J.R.
347.5	BSM Masterdrive course	COLA1::CADAMSON	[email protected]	`Mon Jun 24 1996 17:35`	17
	My insurance company - privilege - have offered me 10% off my insurance if I take a BSM masterdrive Course - 2 hour session with a (sort of) exam/test at the end. The course costs about 40-50 quid and will give me an 80 quid discount. Has anyone any experience of this course and is it any good ? Obviously it will only be a very basic course, bearing in mind the limited time available. Any comments would be useful. Regards, Craig.
