Services
*Advanced driving* [1]
It is a safe, thoughtful and methodical way of driving. Advanced drivers are
more observant and better at anticipating changes in the surrounding
conditions. Because of this they are able to plan their driving to deal with
any circumstances.
Advanced Driving is based upon the 'System of car control' as detailed in
Roadcraft – The Police Driver Handbook. It is unlikely that anyone will
gain a high grade without a good knowledge of the current editions of The
Highway Code and Roadcraft.
*Advanced riding* [2]
It is a deliberate, skilful and responsible riding technique admired by
others. As an advanced rider, you are able to anticipate and control
situations to reduce your accident risk. An Advanced rider is equipped with
the knowledge and skill to ride safely and effectively in all conditions.
Advanced Riding is based upon the 'System of motorcycle control' as detailed
in Motorcyle Roadcraft - The Police Riders Handbook. It is unlikely that
anyone will gain a high grade without a good knowledge of the current
editions of The Highway Code and Motorcycle Roadcraft.
