Same here - it was the insurance scam that got me. No extra discount for being an advanced driver from any of the firms I could see. Also the pressure to 'be evaluated' as an instructor by people who had themselves not been evaluated smacked a bit in my group. Al

In my resignation letter I noted that the IAM seemed to make a lot of noise, yet there seems to be an overall and marked decline in driving standards in the past decade. I felt the organisation's aims were good, but they were somehow missing the bigger picture. I may not be a paid-up card-carrying IAM member now, but I still practice advanced driving skills. They will never leave me. I was graciously allowed to retain my certificate, which I thought was nice. Not sure where it is now.

Use the extender cable to avoid interference from the computer itself if you haven't already - works a treat

I believe rusty was being incredibly witty in picking up on the errant apostrophe in your prior piece of prose (check that alliteration baby!)

Yeah, I owed them £500 apparently (so did a few other people I know) - at least they don't know about my accounts in Zurich
