NEARLY 50 motorists and motorcyclists have taken advantage of a Lotto windfall to improve their driving standards in Wigan Advanced Motorists' "Skill for Life" course.

And there is still just enough time to sign-up for bargain price tuition. The course consists of observed drives or rides and costs £85 but there's a £40 refund on completion.

Courses culminate in the Advanced Driving Test with Matt Browning, a serving policeman with Greater Manchester Motorway Unit, who said: "With some 3000 people killed on Britain's roads every year, more could be done to promote road safety.

"What better way than reducing the human error factor by re-educating the driving public and re-focusing their motoring attitudes."
