I've learnt/been reminded of something on each of mine TBF.

First was over 10 years ago I think, that was an all day event with a couple of hours driving with an instructor!
That was good though, tightened me up on my mirrors and looking ahead for limit changes, beneficial I felt having had a good few years to get in to bad habits!

On one of them it was that vans have a different speed limit to cars.

I think there is often *something* you can get out of them if you want to.
