Advanced Tests : LGV and PCV
| Why take the test? - Why should you be interested? Traffic accidents account for almost half of all accidental deaths in Britain and are the largest single cause of death and injury to young adults. Most drivers think they are both safer and more skilful than the average driver, yet in 95% of accidents human error, mainly unsafe driving practices, is the major cause. You realise that driving conditions change and are becoming more difficult. In order to keep pace with this you need to review, adapt and update your driving skills. Enjoying your driving You should consider taking the test for all sorts of solid reasons: ● Improved driving skills will not only make you safer, but you'll also find you get a lot more enjoyment out of your vehicle. ● Passing the RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders test will prove that you are a driver of the highest standard. Do you have the ability? Absolutely any qualified driver could become an advanced driver, given instruction and some practice. You will need to know and follow the guidance in the current issues of the Highway Code and Roadcraft. However, you will be unwise to apply for the advanced test unless you have had some additional training. We have a national network of local RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders groups that have trained and experienced tutors willing to offer you, free of charge, advice, support and driving assessments to prepare you for the test. |
The test  The driving test is conducted in locations throughout the country by Police Advanced Certificate holders. It is generally regarded as the most comprehensive and challenging test of its kind available to the general public. Your result is graded and a full written report supplied. Because you want to maintain the high standards, we require that you retake the test every three years.The Examiner will look at how you obtain information about what's happening around you, what you do with that information, the smoothness with which you use the controls and your driving performance. Price: £60 *Drivers under 26 receive a £7 discount off the test fee. Other benefits Research indicates that drivers trained to the advanced standard 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 driving stress, ● improved fuel consumption, ● less wear and tear on your vehicle. And that's not all - an often overlooked reason for taking the test is the challenge of improving your driving. You will be proud of your achievement, become more skilful and more confident as your driving is safer and more systematic. Advanced driving is about enjoyment, skill and safety; it's not about stress and speed. |
