What is Advanced
Driving?
In
2000 DSA of Great Britain agreed (with IAM, RoSPA, and DAM) the following definition
of advanced driving:
“Advanced
driving is the ability to control the position and speed of the vehicle safely,
systematically and smoothly, using road and traffic conditions to make
reasonable progress unobtrusively, with skill and responsibility. The skill
requires a positive but courteous attitude and a high standard of driving
competence based on concentration, effective all round observation,
anticipation and planning. This must be co-ordinated with good handling skills.
The vehicle should always be at the right place on the road at the right time,
travelling at the right speed with the correct gear engaged and can always be
stopped safely in the distance that can be seen to be clear.”
Why do Advanced Driving?
- You get
to keep your No Claims
Bonus for longer ...
- Advanced
Drivers tend to drive more economically, so less wear and tear on your
engine and components (cheaper motoring!)
- As you won’t
be stressing the car as much, less fuel consumption.
- You
will be an all round safer and more competent motorist. Much more aware of
what is going on around you.
- You
will be much more skilful behind the wheel. For some people, it will speed
you up and be more progressive. Always being able to stop in the distance
you can see to be clear. For others it slow you down, but make you more
observant to take overtaking opportunities safely and generally make you a
more “progressive” driver.
