TV company seeks people with fear of driving

 For those who have been asking, yes my book about fear of driving is almost

finished. I have about 45,000 words written and am just doing a final check that they all make sense. Then it goes off to the publisher to see what they think.

If you need some help with your driving right now, you might be interested to know that the AA is offering 2000 free two hour Drive Confident courses. Just fill in the form to apply.

Also, the TV series Dangerous Drivers' School is coming back to Channel 5 and is looking for participants. Here's a message from the production team:

"Do you have a son with a need for speed, or is your mum petrified at getting behind the wheel? Does your friend drive so badly you refuse to be their passenger, or are your grandparents housebound because they refuse to use their car? Do you suffer from road rage and think everyone but you should get off the road? If yes, then help is at hand.

Channel 5’s Dangerous Drivers’ School is back and continuing its mission to make our roads safer.

Last year the series turned 18 drivers from ‘accidents waiting to happen’ into safer drivers. In just two hours highly qualified AA instructors rectified a multitude of driving sins. They helped a mum get confidently behind the wheel after 20 years, a joyriding dad slash his speed so he could safely take his kids to school, and a motorway phobic join the rat run with confidence.

The new series wants to find vibrant, outgoing people of any age, from anywhere in the UK, who would like to take part in this great documentary. If you or someone you know needs to kill speed, gain confidence or banish bad habits, then get in touch with the team now.

I did the two hours offered by the AA's Drive Confident course, they were very helpful and, added to a few hours with another instructor, gave me different insights of two different instructors. Really glad I was selected for it.

That's a really good idea to go with two different instructors Maria. Glad to hear that it helped.

Hm, that sounds like a very solid concept. A show like that can, hopefully, raise awareness on driving safety and being a responsible driver in general.

And with regards to AA's driving course, it's pretty cool as well. Confidence on the road has to be built along with the skills to drive a car. Without that, a lag would develop that prevents proper decision making while driving.

What i am thinking is that it is best to keep with one instructor only as different instructors will be guiding you in different ways so high chances of confusions.
