For some people riding is a stressful chore, while for others it is a relaxing opportunity to enjoy themselves. Whichever category you fit into, surveys indicate that 80% of us think that we are above average riders and that accidents only happen to others. But, we probably all know, or have heard about, someone whose life has been changed as a result of a road accident.

RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders' aim is to reduce road accidents by encouraging an interest in road safety and by improving driving and riding standards, knowledge and skill. In order to do this, RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders have over 50 local groups that will provide free training to help you improve your riding skills and help you train to become an advanced rider.

We can all benefit from taking the advanced test. Not only will you receive cheaper insurance discounts, you will protect yourself and your loved ones.

Riding a bike may be one of the most dangerous things that you do in any one day. Let's tackle this together and increase our safety on today's roads.
