New report on public attitudes shows that "some 87 per cent of daily drivers say they would accept some form of delay to their typical journeys to make roads safer, challenging the assumption that safety measures will be unpopular with motorists." bit.ly/4oCunfj

Late August 2025, and we have 11 new Associates joining us to participate in the third of our 2025 Advanced Driving courses for Greater Manchester. Our January 2026 course is already fully booked, so we are accepting bookings for our May 2026 RoSPA Advanced Drivers course now.

A new group of Associates (sounds better then Trainees, right?) attending a classroom session for the Greater Manchester RoSPA Advanced Drivers course. Our course features 3 theory evenings, and 8 practical driving sessions with our volunteer tutors, based around the Roadcraft advanced driving manual

We enjoyed meeting the 11 people who are attending our May 2025 Advanced Drivers course last night. We launched the course with a get-to-know-you and theory evening at our base in Woodley, Greater Manchester.

The SLAP Test; a good way to assess if a planned manoeuvre is viable when motorcycling or driving.

The SLAP Test model:

Safe? Will you put yourself or other road users at risk?

Legal? Is what you plan legal and will it comply with the Highway Code?

Achieve? What will you gain? Is it advantageous? Is it appropriate?
Will you just be showing off?

Perception? Is it professional? What might other road users think?
Will it make you look like a prat?

PS Prat: A person who is incompetent and stupid.

Take opportunities NOT risks.

What does passing a RoSPA Advanced Driving (or riding) test at Gold standard mean? Take a look below. "Gold is only awarded to a driver who shows a consistently high standard of driving throughout the test." Keeping our roads safe. #rospa #advanceddriving #greatermanchester #roadsafety

Be honest to yourself & continue to learn. Driving is a skill. If you're not an advanced driver, get training. Your life, the lives of your passengers & the lives of everyone on the roads depend on your ability to drive. Safely. @IAMRoadSmart @RoSPA
