Simply: what does the general public stand to gain from spending their money* on AD? What proven, cost-effective, benefits are there?

** And if there's a benefit for all drivers, should 'L' training be amended to incorporate the key beneficial elements?

What elements?

What elements?
Not too sure, but maybe additional focus on forward planning and anticipation over and above things like the turn in the road, parallel park etc..

I am aware that the art of advanced driving in general does not have a great image. It has improved over the years from very "pipe and slippers" to something the masses are sort of getting....But what could we do to make it more appealing, especially to younger drivers?

The introduction of the HPT was credited with an 11% reduction in crashes involving new drivers. 'Enhanced skills' doesn't, as far as I know, have any substantial evidence to commend it.

I was under the impression that the proportion of KSI accounted for by young drivers increased after the introduction of the HPT. Can you lay hands on some relevant stats without wasting much time?
As to the justification for skills enhancement, are you saying that all that money spent by fleet operators on driver training is wasted?
