I booked myself on to a Take Control course yesterday! Doing it on 9th Feb!

For a day of training for £20 its a bargain!! Okay you supply your own fuel etc but still!! Its a real result!

Its a good course.

Tony, the guy that does the training has taken a few from here out on the same course.

I did one early last year with the SV and am going out with him again this year too.

Yeah sure will. I'm quite looking forward to it as I've read good reviews... Plus will help with IAM.

I agree but the cost is prohibitive, having said that some observers have their own, (I have). I try to plan routes that the associate knows to start off with as it isn't a navigation exercise. At least without radios you can tell if the associate is keeping his eye on his mirrors if he doesn't turn off,
