    Congrats

    Do your pass plus now, and then do Advanced Motorists in about 6 months time. Pass plus gets your cheaper insurance, Advanced Motorists teach you to drive

    Here she is:



    Peugeot 306 XN 1.4L

    Cost me £1050 a month or so ago.

    Not bad for a first car imo. I will be saving for a Ford Focus within the next year or 2 .

    I thought you had to have held a licence for 3 years before you could do the advanced test? And be 21?

    I took it Last summer. I was 19 and had had my license for 12 months. It's recommended that you've been driving for 6 months, but in theory you could actually do your advanced driving as soon as you've passed your L test; but due to the nature of the IAM test, you need a bit of experience.

    So you don't have to be over 21, and you don't have to have had your license more than 3 years.

    I think there's an organisation called GEM (Group of Experienced Motorists) but I don't know what their requrirements are there's also the ROSPA test but again I don't know much about that either.

    GEM and RoSPA -

    Guild of Experienced Motorists.... http://www.roadsafety.org.uk/gem.html
    Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.... http://www.rospa.com/drivertraining/...ests/index.htm

    GEM doesn't require a test, but RoSPA are the strictest out there from what I've heard (some of my observers for IAM were IAM/RoSPA)
