Yes the compulsory ROSPA 3 year retest is a significant difference but of course there's nothing to stop you retaking the IAM test should you so wish. You may not be aware the IAM has graded advanced tests now...the normal pass and the higher-level, 'F1rst" pass - approx. equal to ROSPA Gold.
Whatever route you take I'm sure you'll benefit from driving with different people and picking and choosing what works for you.
Shame you 'up North' as there seem to be more ADUK driving days further South - they are a great way to develop your driving with a great bunch of people form here (TripleS excluded )
It seems the IAM has made some progress then. I'd love to attend but as you say I'm a little far away even if I do enjoy driving lol. Thanks again for the kind words.
Shouldn't be too un-doable. For example there'll be a horde of East Surrey-ites heading across to Cheddar at the end of March - overnight stop in a Travelodge the night before and Bob's yer uncle. There's even one dedicated type who regularly comes down to events in the M4 / M40 region from his University in Leeds. Hopefully there'll be a driving day organised in the Brecon Beacons at some point this year (hint, hint ), and if you can only do one, that's the one!!
