Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
It's reasonably rare for nutters to be in the Novice group and most companies do what they can to put first timers at their ease. Quite often the first session has a quite a few laps behind an instructor or sometimes even the whole of the first session. The comapnies know you won't be back if some loon carves you to every corner bits.

Not so sure about the schools until you have day or two under your belt. i.e. CSS level one has you riding round the circuit without using the brakes. There is a very good reason for this but there can be enough going on in yer head without that to think about.
With a few days under your belt I would defo recommend a School if you want to learn more.

Try and avoid a a track day at a circuit that has got a bike race day in the following few days as you might find yerself amongst the handful who have ridden to the circuit!!

Just go for it, most get hooked.
