Registration done.
I havnt as yet sat my RoADAR car test, but I have done for Motorcycles, and when renewing my bike insurance found that a number of brokers and companies do have some form of discount.
However what I did find was that they would recognised an IAM/RoADA test,as evidence of advanced training, but when I told them that i have a RoADA Silver pass, was told "thats not on our list, except if its a Gold"
Without wanting to get into the totally pointless which is better, arguement I found that odd, given that a "Silver" is a very good, if not excelent pass, and surely at least comparrable.
Additionally as I am required to retest every 3 years to maintain my membership, and am therefore presumeably either currently retraining or at least continue to practice towards my retest, unlike (some) IAM members who may sit, and then never take another observed drive or ride again, whilst simply renewing their membership, I am statistically as good if not a better risk.
I eventually found a company that simply asked if I was a full member, and had to confirm my membership number, which happily was the best quote anyway.
