The RoSPA test

The aims of the RoSPA Advanced Drivers Association driving test are much the same as the IAM. There are some local groups but the network is smaller than the IAM.

The RoSPA test is graded. The lowest grade approximates to the standard required for a good 'L' pass, the highest is nearer to the standard required by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for driving test examiners (Cardington).

The driving style preferred by RoSPA differs slightly from that required by the DVSA. In particular they tend to prefer the Roadcraft (Police Driving Manual) method of road positioning for left hand bends. 'Roadcraft' is not included in this course, simply because we are preparing you for the DVSA tests, however, practicing both DVSA and RoSPA styles of driving and studying 'Roadcraft' can develop your flexibility as a driver.

You can purchase RoadCraft as an optional extra study book from the SmartDriving Bookshop.
