Hi, I have just joined this forum. I passed my first RoSPA advanced test in December 1986 and gained a Gold. Well it was called Class 1 then, but RoSPA rather wisely changed the names to avoid confusion with the far more demanding police qualification. I have since kept up the standard and, after taking early retirement and finding myself with a bit more time on my hands, joined my local RoSPA group a couple of years ago and started tutoring. I find this immensely enjoyable, not just because I get to meet lots of nice, like-minded people, but also because I feel, in a small way, that I am giving something back to society. Last year I took the diploma course. This was extremely enjoyable and I learned a lot, not just about tutoring but also about improving my own driving. I know that I still have a lot to learn and am looking forward to taking an active role in this forum. I know that there are a lot of people out there who are far better drivers and tutors than me and I can gain a lot from them.
