Default Driver training?

Does anyone do driver training in the north west? Never see any up this neck of the woods.

Cheers

Lee

You might not think so, but the IAM course is well worth doing as a basic introduction to advanced driver training. Getting a good grounding in the basics and then building on them with further courses in the future is the key.
RIDE DRIVE do courses all over the country, and use Police class 1 drivers. You can then go on to do the HTC course, which is quite intense, and also quite expensive. There are loads of links to investigate on our site here: South Manchester And Cheshire Subaru owners club - Best Subaru Links
You could also attend a few track days and get instruction, or attend a few drift days and do the same. Loads of options out there, depending on what you want to achieve.
