I found this very Interesting!!

Everyone thinks they're a good driver…right?

Advanced drivers are 25% less likely to be involved in an accident

For some people driving is a stressful chore, while for others it can be a relaxing opportunity to assert themselves. Whichever category you fit into, surveys indicate that 80% of us think that we are above average drivers and that accidents only happen to others. But, we probably all know, or have heard about, someone whose life has been changed as a result of a road accident.

RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders aim is to reduce road accidents by encouraging an interest in road safety, by improving driving standards, knowledge and skill. In order to do this RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders have over 50 local groups that will provide free training to help you improve your driving skills and help you train to become an advanced driver.

We can all benefit from taking the advanced test. Not only will you receive cheaper insurance discounts you will protect yourself and your loved ones.

Driving a car may be one of the most dangerous things that you will have to do in any one day, let's tackle this together and increase our safety on today's roads.



Are you thinking of doing this too??

Thought about it, but no, as I'm now a pensioner.

I would thoroughly recommend everyone to take the RoSPA advanced driver training, to do this, join your local group, even if you never take the test.

It will definitely improve your driving skills, no matter how good you think you are.

You need to join a local group, there's a list on the RoSPA web site.

You pay a joining fee, attend the local group meets where they will give you an assessment drive, and also allocate you a tutor. The tuition is free.

If you contact your local group, I believe you can go to the first meet (usually one per month) before you join, to see if you like it.

A list of your local group can be found here:- http://www.roadar.org/groups/index.htm
