Advanced Driving is often mistakenly thought to be solely for racing drivers or police pursuit drivers. It is however aimed at any full licence holder wishing to take their driving to a higher level. Although passing the Theory, Hazard Perception and Practical Driving Tests is a great achievement, it must be seen as only the first step towards a safe and enjoyable lifetime of driving. Listed below are various ways to advance your driving ability.

"Advanced driving is the ability to control the position and speed of the vehicle safely, systematically and smoothly, using road and traffic conditions to progress unobtrusively with skill and responsibility. This skill requires a positive but courteous attitude and a high standard of driving competence based on concentration, effective all round observation, anticipation, and planning. This must be coordinated with good handling skills. The vehicle should be at the right place on the road at the right time, travelling at the right speed with the correct gear engaged and can always be stopped safely on its own side of the road in the distance that can be seen to be clear.."
