To successfully pass the initial test with a high-grade without tuition or preparation will, for the majority of drivers/riders be impracticable. To this end the Group offers both advanced driving and motorcycling tuition, which is provided free to all Group members on a one-on-one basis, to help members achieve their true potential. It is not unusual for between 12–20 lessons to be given before members feel confident enough to apply for their test, however more will be provided if needed.

Tuition is based on the police system of car/bike control as contained in Roadcraft, The Essential Police Driver's/Rider's Handbooks, which are both available from all good book stores priced £13.99 and £14.99 respectively. These publications can also be obtained at our regular meetings.

A good working knowledge of The Highway Code is also a prerequisite.

The DoT publication ‘Know Your Traffic Signs’ is also worthy of study as is The Official Driving Standards Agency Essential Driving Manual and Essential Motorcycling Manual.

Please take time to read the attached Information sheet regarding tuition.

(Many of the above books are available to purchase at the regular monthly Group meetings).
