Following the recent decisions by the Scottish and UK Governments, our training activities have had to be suspended. Full details http://www.eastkilbrideroadar.co.uk/rospa-statement-coronavirus/

It’s only a fortnight since we were able to commence activity again but despite this the group has celebrated its first success of the year with group tutor Lachie MacDonald securing a Gold pass on his triennial retest.

Lachie has been a group tutor for a number of years and the result, once again, reflects his commitment and illustrates that group tuition is delivered by individuals who are experienced in their own right.

Whilst it’s still early days yet we hope to grow on this initial success with a small number of further tests scheduled over the next few weeks.

Congratulations to Lachie.

The recent change in Scottish Government advice and the movement to stage 2 & 3 allowed us to recommence motorcycle training from the 3 July.

All tuition is now undertaken with due regard to social distancing and other requirements. Most importantly it only takes place subject to the agreement of tutor and associate alike.

The tutor team have already been out and about with associates and are keen to make the most of what training opportunities we have left this year. Undoubtedly there will be some challenges but none that hopefully cannot be dealt with.

The best of luck to all those who are once more working hard towards their test.

Congratulations to Jan McCulloch and Fraser Gorman who both recently passed their initial RoSPA Advanced Drivers test
