Our Members make a difference . . .
Our aim at Herefordshire Advanced Drivers is to help drivers of any age or ability to develop safer techniques and attitudes. Feeling safer and more confident, you will become a better driver. Driving well and being in control means that you (and your passengers) will enjoy your driving more. We approach this by not just focussing on driving skills alone, because we believe that being aware of everything going on around you has greater influence. Come to one of our events and find out how confident and in-control you can become, either one-to-one, or in a group at one of our Driver Refresher Days. No mandatory testing is involved, just practical, friendly advice that will benefit you for life. Please email us and let us know how we could help you.
Background
We are a voluntary service and registered Charity dedicated to
developing safer drivers of all ages in Herefordshire, to a
standard that is recognised nationally as being better and safer
than the average motorist.
Through our affiliation with IAM RoadSmart, one of the country’s
leading Road Safety organisations, we are an Official Provider of
the Advanced Drivers course and we offer the opportunity to
reduce the toll of fatal and serious accidents on our county’s
roads and beyond . . .
Track record
Our nationally approved volunteer Observers currently achieve
around a 98% pass rate for those undertaking the Advanced
Driving test.
Courses with you in your own car with one of our Observers are
priced competitively and cover all the latest regulations, driving
theory and techniques.
We provide practical support, technical advice, in-car guidance
and on-going skills development programmes
Personal Development programme
What makes us different is the friendly impartial advice
received fromwithin the Group.
We organise specific Driving Skills days for both new
and more experienced drivers with specific attention to
confidence-building.
We also arrange Driver Refresher Days, with regular
reassessments and Members and Associates of
Herefordshire Advanced Drivers are always welcome
to attend any of our events.
Then, if you wish, when you have developed the
necessary skills and confidence, you may apply to take
the Advanced Driving Test, which is quality-assured by
the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).
You can also extend your knowledge, proficiency and
confidence by enjoying individual mentoring, through
observed drives and specially tailored tuition. Members
gain from becoming a progressively advanced driver
and might qualify for cheaper car insurance
To keep you in touch with news and latest
developments, we circulate news or articles of interest
by email.
We are always pleased to welcome volunteer
assistance and will readily accept any donations and
sponsorship to help with our work.
We look forward to hearing from you and how we could
help you develop as a better, safer driver.
