Yep its not a track day as such but more of an education day.
Basically you're in the classroom for a little bit.. then out on the skid pan and "skid track" and you're learning the limits of your car.. (ie how hard you can push it in the wet/dry before it will over/under steer.)
And assorted other exercises.
This day being the level two Advanced driving will not be focussed on stopping distances and other basic stuff you learn on your L's but the more useful accident prevention skills.
I can attest to how invaluable these days are: as a year and half ago i was driving on a two lane road.. there was a policeman who had pulled someone over in the left lane. the guy ahead of me must have been too busy being nosey and not watching where he was going because he slammed on the breaks and indicates to go into a side street (he's in a newer tiny car) so he stopped on the spot.
My car was quite abit older.. no abs and no way i was going to pull up in time. so i performed a "swerve and recover" i had learnt at the AAMI safe driver course. I had not meant to do it.. or even had the chance to think about it. It was all reflex and muscle memory from having learnt it previously.
RE INSURANCE:
Gavin
We carry public liability insurance but you will need to check with your own insurer in respect to your personal and vehicles cover. Some insurers cover driver training courses and some do not.

I wouldnt worry too much about insurance as the most you are going to do is wipeout some cones.
