As Above

Sounds like some guy teaching you how to drive fast on a public road, how irresponsible is that! Surely Honda wouldn't agree to this.

Shouln't it be on a proper track?

[Mark43]

The course isn't designed to help you to drive like a prat.

It's there to teach you how to get the best out of your car,how to drive it correctly and safely,road positioning,gear selection,overtaking manouevres etc etc etc.

Oh fair enough, seems like a good idea then. How do you qualify for the course? I have just bought my ctr a few weeks ago, think would benifit from it.

Are the instructors qualified people? How much is the course

[acstua]

its free, one per car

if the car is new, or the previous owners havent taken the course u can do it

the instructors are generally ex-traffic police

Cheers Mark that was my next question!!

[Epiphany]

so if you bought it second hand you can still do it providing the previous owner didnt?

Ignore that, just found the answer.

[acstua]

Woah! I didn't realise this was (could be) free! I am the second owner of my CTR so fingers crossed the previous owner didn't take advantage of it!

[Eat The Rich]
