What is Advanced Driving?

Advanced Driving is the ability to control the position and speed of the vehicle safely, systematically and smoothly, using road and traffic conditions to progress unobtrusively with skill and responsibility. This skill requires a positive but courteous attitude and a high standard of driving competence based on concentration, effective all round observation, anticipation, and planning.

This must be co-ordinated with good handling skills. The vehicle will always be at the right speed with the correct gear engaged and can always be stopped safely on its own side of the road in the distance that can be seen to be clear.

Advanced Driving is based upon The System of Car Control as detailed in Roadcraft – The Police Driver Handbook. To gain a high grade in the RoSPA Advanced Driving Test. You will require a good knowledge of the current editions of Roadcraft & The Rules of the Road.

RoSPA Advanced Driving Test

The RoSPA Advanced Driving Test

The RoSPA advanced driving test is regarded as the most comprehensive and challenging available to the public. It is monitored and approved by the Driving Standards Agency. The test lasts around 90 minutes, and is taken with a RoSPA Examiner, who generally are serving or retired Police Officers. The RoSPA Advanced Driving Test is unique as it is graded Bronze, Silver or Gold. A RoSPA Gold is the highest civilian driving standard available and the holder will be a master of his or her art. To see more about what is expected, download the Car Test Guidelines (PDF 127kb).

Unlike other Advanced Driving organisations, RoSPA encourage 3 yearly re-tests, to ensure that excellent driving standards are maintained. The re-test fee is included in your RoSPA yearly subscription costs.

Ahead of my RoSPA driving test, I got in touch with Colm through a recommendation of one of the van drivers in my father’s company. Colm has great enthusiasm, knows the Roadcraft System of driving very well and is able to come across in a clear and understanding way. With his help I was able to tweak some of my driving style to achieve the finesse of the Gold standard. I would have no problem recommending Colm for any type of advanced or normal driving test.

I did a couple of advanced driving sessions with Colm in preparation for the RoSPA Test. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in relation to what I could expect on the day of the test, and his experience was very evident through the course of the sessions. I got a Gold award on the day of the test which I was delighted with and I would have no hesitation in recommending Colm to anyone looking for an advanced driving instructor.
