I looked into doing this but the cost to do it and the price my car insurance would fall was a joke.

The advanced driving course teaches defensive driving, and awareness. This should make you a safer and more curtious driver, not a more skilled driver, but in theory still better than those who haven't had the training.
The course we were talking about wasn't anything to do with the advanced driving test, it is way above that level. It was aimed at Pierre who thinks he has superhuman driving skills. So I asked if he was trained to drive safely at high speeds, as emergency service drivers are (although they still wouldn't be able to do this safely without means to warn other road users).

Why not use germany as an example of how dangerous it is?

Fog is an excellent example. If we all drove at a speed suitable for the road conditions, then we should all be doing the same speed, and a safe stopping distance apart.
Accidents usually happen in fog when one person is driving at a safe speed for the conditions, and another is driving far too fast, and therefore drives into the back of the car in front.

It's obvious that you didn't understand their post. And that because you think you are invincible, and a far better driver than anyone else on the road, then you didn't even think the post applied to you.
You don't drive a BMW or an Audi by any chance?
