Advanced driving course

Hi all.

Anyone wondering why we all drivers have to go to advanced driving course coz it seems like after 2 years of driving and self learning from youtube and online, I am not sure if there is still something you still need to know about driving but fixing?

What happens if we dont go after 2 years having the license as it is valid now for 15 years?

Correct me if im wrong. The course costs 250 -500 euros and there is a lecture for a day?

Thanks

I think things like economical driving are quite useful and they can have quite relevant effects on the population level.

You will be forbidden from driving.

"Once you have completed the practice and advanced phases, you will receive a certificate of instruction that must be sent to an Ajovarma office without delay. You must supply a certificate of instruction within two years of passing your Category B driving test, otherwise the police will impose a temporary driving ban on you."

Ok Thanks. Just checked and it would cost around 220E for the next phase and advanced final phase would be another 390E.
