About us

A friendly club with a serious purpose

RoSPA West Midlands Advanced Drivers and Riders has helped people raise their roadcraft since 1999.

Our history

The RoSPA West Midlands Group of Advanced Drivers and Riders has been around since 1999, though not always in its current form. It has a long-established reputation for helping riders and drivers improve their roadcraft skills and become safer on the road — while enjoying the pleasure of riding and driving.

Our goal is to help any rider or driver, whatever their current ability, to raise their skills through our dedicated team of volunteer RoSPA-qualified advanced tutors, and achieve an advanced riding or driving test pass.

Safety first

Everything we do is rooted in reducing risk and building genuine skill.

Friendship

Group rides, club nights and weekends away with like-minded people.

Volunteer-led

Our tutors and committee give their time as a voluntary contribution to help others progress.
