Welcome to NETRoADAR
We are a voluntary group of
advanced driving and riding enthusiasts working in the area of North
East London and South West Essex.
Our aim is to improve the level of road safety through driver and
rider training along with encouragement to take the Advanced Driving
Test administered by RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of
Accidents).
We operate in a friendly and informal atmosphere because you will
learn best whilst relaxed. Our sole aim is to reduce the carnage on
our roads.
The term 'Dangerous Road' is purely an
invention of the media. We believe there is no such thing. Roads can
be poorly engineered and badly maintained. They can be subject to
adverse weather but this isn't, in itself, dangerous. It is the road
user that makes the highway environment dangerous.
We believe, it is through ever improving standards of drivers and
motorcyclists, will the carnage on our roads be dramatically
reduced.
If everyone used the roads responsibly (to
the Highway Code) a road crash would be national headline news, just
like those involving aircraft. Are we just too blasé?
In just one London borough, (Waltham
Forest), road crashes, where people were killed or seriously
injured, cost
£37.3M in 2005; just one small borough and not
including the non injury knocks!
