Developing your driving or riding skills can make you at least *25% less likely to be involved in a crash or collision.
* The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
For some people driving or riding 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 crashes or collisions 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 traffic crash.
RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders aim is to reduce road incidents by encouraging an interest in road safety, by improving driving and riding standards, knowledge and skill. In order to do this RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders - Suffolk Group will provide free training to help you develop your driving / riding skills to become an advanced driver / rider. We even have a Large Goods Vehicle Tutor.
We can all benefit from taking the advanced test. Not only could you receive cheaper insurance but you will also significantly reduce the risk to yourself and your loved ones.
Driving or riding may be one of the most dangerous things that you will have to do in any one day, by tackling this together we can increase our safety on today's roads.
The Suffolk Group was formed as the Bury St Edmunds Group in 1993 with the authority of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents Advanced Drivers & Riders (RoADAR).
The group endeavours to promote the objectives of RoADAR in the county of Suffolk and surrounding area by giving free advice on driver and rider training to potential candidates for the Advanced Test.
The Group is self-governing and self-financing. We meet at 7.30 pm at the Moreton Hall Community Centre, Bury St Edmunds on the first Monday in the month; (Not January or August. If a bank holiday then the 2nd Monday in the month. Motorcycle meetings may differ).
All are welcome to attend any of the meetings.
The monthly meetings cover a wide range of motoring related topics as well as tests of driving and riding skills for members during the summer. We also arrange the occasional skid pan training.
A newsletter is published online regularly during the year giving driving and riding hints and information.
Thank you for taking the first step to becoming a BETTER DRIVER or RIDER
