The OP is clearly a car driver. My sense is that advanced riding is more popular than advanced driving (perhaps because bikers tend to be enthusiasts, plus the consequences of a mistake are often life-changing).
A crucial difference between the car and bike sides, however, is that motorcycling journalists have been largely won over by advanced training. Unlike car journalists. The majority of bike magazines promote advanced riding in some form, such as BikeSafe or Rapid Training. One 'Ride' magazine journalist is a RoSPA Diploma holder and another wrote a series of articles about his IAM experience. If cynical bike journalists can be convinced of advanced training, surely some car journalists could be too?
Apologies for thread resurrection but this post from the AD forum on PH seems to echo my view from sometime ago.
Just what is it about the car journalists that they won't promote AD?
Oh and poster better be careful with such views on PH.
Or what is about advanced driving clubs as opposed to advanced riding clubs that turns journalists off?
The people?
The content?
The delivery?
