Motor insurance customers have been urged to make safe driving one of their resolutions for 2011.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) observed that while building up skills is a way to improve overall safety and confidence, it would also result in lower car insurance premiums .
As a result, the road charity is currently offering a host of training courses for drivers, bikers and cyclists of all abilities.
Peter Rodger, IAM chief examiner, commented: "Continuous personal development is often top of the mind at this time of year, but our skill as a driver, rider or cyclist can get taken for granted.
"Whichever way you travel, make doing it more safely and efficiently your goal for the new year."
Meanwhile, an article appearing on This is Money recently advised motorists they can bring down the cost of their car insurance by taking out a policy to cover the cost of their excess.
