The one thing I don't want to be seen is the way in which the Roadcraft book is being taken and Individual elements of it are being watered down,so much that it makes a mockery of what Advanced Driving is all about,hence the need for a common ground of consistency.

I have made my feelings known to one of the two you mention and they give me their assurances that they are working on this to have a hopefully structured and standard system across the country,I suppose it's just a case of watch this space.

We need to legislate it and not like the Pass Plus scheme which did not solve any of the problems,it needs the people who know what they are talking about to all get together and come up with a system that works and will work as if legislated for and they dont follow suite then no licence simple,so they will have to do it no matter what the cost and that is the problem cost £££.

Bit off topic but why do you say DSA standards have dropped? In my opinion the current L-test is more demanding than the one I took ('ahem' years ago ).
