ROSPA 3 year exam?

by **martine** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:32 pm

I've heard a rumour that ROSPA are considering doing away with the compulsory 3 year re-test? If it's true that's a real backward step.

Anyone from ROSPA know any more?

I'm not from RoSPA, or anywhere else in particular (well that's not quite true, I'm from Stanmore originally) but I agree with you. It looks like a backward step, so I don't think I'll bother with RoSPA.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

Oh BTW, it's been snowing non-stop since lunch time, so I've been out to play, hence the delay in replying. :lol:

No, I'm not even a genuine Yorkshireman; and after a period of reflection I find I don't always like some of the things I've said either. This impetuous style will be my downfall, sure as eggs is eggs; but in the meantime....

Best wishes all,
Dave.

just be smaller iam then if they do that. So what will happen with bronz as that requires a retest after a year.

According to RoADAR HQ, there are no plans to change the 3 year test pattern.

I can assure you that there are no plans at all to do away with the 3 year re-test. The first we heard at HQ was a rumour coming from a member, but it seems to be getting around still. The three year re-test is one of the main benefits of RoADAR membership and ensures driving standards are kept up to date - something which sets RoSPA apart from the IAM.

(Also, a Bronze Award only requires a 3 year test, it does not need to be re-tested after a year under offical RoSPA policy)

Hi Liz, that's really good to know.
I wish there was an legal requirement for all drivers to refresh their skills!
