Welcome to the Bike section of NETRoADAR.
The test
The RoSPA
advanced riding test is regarded as the most comprehensive and
challenging available to the public. The examiners are Police
Advanced Certificate holders and many are or have been Instructors.
They will grade your ride and complete a written report on your
performance. A RoSPA Gold is the highest civilian riding standard
available and the holder will be a master of his or her art. Bronze
and Silver
passes are also commendable achievements. The examiner
will assess your overall riding performance, how you respond to what
is happening around you and the smoothness with which you use the
controls.
Other
benefits
Research
indicates that advanced riders are 20% less likely to be involved in
an accident. Apart from being safer on the road, you can also gain
from:
*
lowering your insurance premiums,
* reduced
levels of stress,
*
improved fuel consumption,
* less
wear and tear on your bike.
And that's
not all, often overlooked reasons for taking the test are the
challenge, pride, sense of achievement and the confidence to be able
to ride your machine to its safe limits.
Advanced
riding is about safety, skill and enjoyment; it's not about stress and
speed.

Why take the
test?
Why should
you be interested?
You realise
that road and traffic conditions are becoming increasingly complex,
and machines and riding requirements are constantly changing. Being
a good rider means that you never stop learning. Becoming a
better rider involves reviewing and adapting your skills to keep
pace with change and ensuring that you get the best out of your bike
rather than letting it get the better of you!
Enjoying
your riding
You should
consider taking the test for all sorts of solid reasons:
*
Improving your riding skills and becoming an
advanced rider will
not only make you safer but you'll
find that you get more
enjoyment when out riding.
* Passing the RoSPA advanced riding test
will prove and grade your
skill, placing you among the best riders in the country.
Do you have
the ability?
The simple
answer is yes. You will need to know and follow the guidance in the
current issues of Motorcycle Roadcraft and The Highway Code.
However, you will be unwise to apply for the advanced test unless
you have had some additional training .The group will also provide
you with the opportunity to meet other advanced riders and to take
part in our social activities.
