My local Milton Keynes BMW dealer does not allow unaccompanied test drives due to insurance limitations. Are there any other places near by that people can confirm if they allow unaccompanied test drives? Thanks

It's just less pressure on time and fiddling with settings when you are unaccompanied. When ever someone is with me, I always feel like I won't be given the time to have a really good play with all the controls and features of the car.

I'm in MK too. Are you talking about Kingston? They do seem to be pretty anal about their insurances. Understandable though I guess.

I agree with you on wanting to feel free to play with the car more on a test drive. You do feel a little restricted when the SA is with you.
