Welcome to the West Yorkshire Group
We are a local group of the RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders (RoADAR). We share an interest in driving; good driving, driving that is not frightening, embarrassing or boring.
Members are full licence holders. Some joined years after passing their L test. Others joined soon after passing it. This gave them the advantage of reinforcing what they’d recently learned, the opportunity to build on it, and the chance to prevent the development of bad habits.
Bad habits might save time and effort but they rarely save lives or win praise. Once developed, they can be difficult to eradicate. Problems eventually arise which can be expensive—mentally, physically and financially. Owning a car is expensive already. Good habits can make the difference between hit or miss.
Some people joined out of dissatisfaction with their driving; they looked for a better way. Some joined in an attempt to keep up to date. Some joined confident that their driving was good. (They were to be surprised.) Others joined out of curiosity. All had something to learn; all could improve; all did improve.
All found that tuition, practice and attention to detail raised their standard. As a result, driving became easier and less stressful—less stressful not only for them but for their passengers. (Passengers used to being thrown around in cars often mistakenly attribute the smoothness of the ride to the make of the vehicle rather than to the skill of the driver.)
Driving affects us all. We are all road users. Find out more about the West Yorkshire Group. Treat yourself or someone else to a year’s membership.
