Re: Recommended viewing

The Roadcraft DVD is an excellent introduction to the Police system of driving (which forms the basis of advanced driving) but I don't think you'll gain much from it once you've watched it a few times.

Bespoke's DVD's are probably the best for anyone wanting to build on their Roadcraft knowledge and shows how to build a decent commentary, as well as real-world examples of driving and explanations of overtaking, cornering, etc.

Andy's car control DVD is great for track-day drivers who want to understand a few more advanced techniques and see them demonstrated. Can watch this over and over and still learn from it.

Sadly none of these are a substitute for seeing it done for real, but they will help you make the most of the time you spend with a coach, imvho

What about the one from Cadence? Is it no longer available?

Funny you should mention it as I rewatched that a few weeks ago and my opinion of it has greatly gone up. I think the problem with it is that it is just a bloke going for a drive and commenting on what he's doing, whereas the others are more structured towards learning how to improve your driving.

Definitely one for the collection, but I personally, think Mark's DVD and the Roadcraft one are better learning aids.

Btw, the Cadence one is still available, but the link was lost when they upgraded their web site. Should be back there now, but if not, you can still order it over the phone. I also hear they are working on a new DVD currently too....
