02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We tutor existing drivers who wish to become safer drivers as follows: Provision of practical driving coaching, on a one-to-one basis wherever possible. Coaching sessions are held weekly between March and October each year and may also take place outwith those times, by individual arrangement. Pupils are expected to study advanced driving theory, using the police manual 'Roadcraft' and other materials supplied by the club. They may sit an internal club test and, if successful, be provided with further coaching towards the RoSPA Advanced Driving Test, which is conducted by a RoSPA-appointed examiner. Group sessions on advanced driving theory (usually on a particular topic) are also held from time to time. These are led by Approved/Advanced Group Tutors within the organisation or external tutors of at least the same standard. There is an annual competition day at which members can test their theory, car-handling skills and on-the-road driving ability.
