What you'll learn

Advanced driving and riding is essentiallly about handling your vehicle safely. Our courses will show how you can quickly learn to improve your powers of anticipation, concentration and observation. You will develop skills that will enable you to plan where to place your vehicle to help ensure that, whatever the circumstances, you will be in the correct position on the road, travelling at the right speed for the conditions, with the correct gear selected and will always be able to stop safely within the distance you can see to be clear. Our tutors are friendly and approachable and will help to make sure that you'll enjoy training with us!

  • In the words of one of our young drivers, "The Manchester RoSPA group were great to meet. Friendly, not too serious and more than happy to listen to my crazy ideas on driving. This included telling the group that I drive to the guide of ‘The Stig’!"

The latest edition of our newsletter MAINBEAM contains articles submitted by our members covering a variety of intersting topics.
