I would further argue that a fair size percentage of that group would also likely be TG viewers. That, I suggest, makes is significantly more than 10% of the available target market for the IAM that have had their views on AD tainted.

Just you try and stop them.

That's been done and doesn't work. Even when you attract under 25s, they tend to be the offspring of teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc. They're usually the sort of kids who handed in their homework on time and passed all their exams. To have any chance of success, you need to be able to target all under 25s, regardless of background.
errrmmmmmm...... errrrr.... when you say..... oh never mind....

Then, on those days, include sessions with two way traffic, an imaginery centre line existing.

I think you may not be including those who are nervous drivers and want to feel more confident, those who want to make sure they are safe drivers, those who have had a brush with the (motoring) law, and maybe some who have scared themselves or been scared by an unexpected situation. None of them are likely to be interested in driving for its own sake.

Therein lies the problem. Ain't no way the IAM can counteract BRAKE whilst lowest common denominator is the norm. Despite all the stuff about the DVSA test is harder than it's ever been.
Truth is, there should be mandatory retesting, with a fail meaning loss of licence.
