Hello everyone!

I really enjoy driving, recently passed the RoSPA test at silver grade (age 22) and am now training as a tutor.

I was recommended this site by a member of our local group (Cambridgeshire RoADAR) as a place to meet and learn from other keen drivers. Just looking to pick up new skills and add extra smoothness and finesse to my driving. I'm aware just how good some road drivers are, and want to start on the journey towards that level.

Looking forward to hearing your views on driving matters!

Another one in Cambridge - excellent! I assume your RoSPA training is with the local group? I was at their monthly meeting a couple of weeks ago and it looked like I was the youngest by a margin of 30 years or so...

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

The driving day sounds a great idea - I'll sign up for that. Thanks MrToad!

My training was with CADAR - I struggle to get to the meetings often, but from what different observers have said I can imagine I'd be comparatively juvenile! I guess that's the general pattern with lots of advanced driving groups - it doesn't put me off at all, but it's nice to hear of other folk in my generation!

Yes I notice that too, and they deserve some credit for it. As far as I'm concerned most road drivers are doing OK, even if hardly any of them know what 'advanced' driving is all about. If they're getting around reasonably efficiently, and showing tolerance and goodwill towards other road users, I tend to feel that's good enough for most practical purposes.

This is not a viewpoint that will be shared by all. :P

Anyhow, welcome to ADUK, and congratulations on your test success.

Best wishes all,
Dave.
