To successfully pass the initial test with a high-grade without tuition or preparation will, for the majority of drivers/riders be impracticable. To this end, the Group offers both advanced driving and motorcycling tuition, which is provided free to all Group members on a one-on-one basis, to help members achieve their true potential. It is not unusual for approximately 10 lessons to be given before members feel confident enough to apply for their test, however more will be provided if needed.

Tuition is based on the police system of car/bike control as contained in Roadcraft, The Essential Police Driver’s/Rider’s Handbooks, which are both available from all good book stores.  However, as present, the Groups provides these to new members as part of their membership joining fee.

A good working knowledge of The Highway Code is also a prerequisite.

The DfT publication ‘Know Your Traffic Signs’ is also worthy of study as is The Official DVSA Guide to Driving – the essential skills and The Official DVSA Guide to Riding – the essential skills.
