Enjoy your driving again
Accredited to RoSPA and the DVSA, we train you to become a better, safer and more confident driver.
We are a small charity committed to helping people become better drivers and improve safety on our roads.
- Do you like Driving?
- Do badly behaved drivers worry you?
- Is there an event in your life that makes you want to become a better/safer driver?
- Maybe a new baby
- Ferrying your grandchildren
- Renewing your licence at 70
- Proving that even an older driver can be a proficient driver?
Whatever the reason, Sussex Advanced Drivers
can help you achieve your goal.

Potholing for Beginners
15 January 25
7.30pm
9.30pm
Meeting
George Chandler
Scaynes Hill Millennium Hall, Lewis Road, Scaynes Hill. RH17 7PG
7.30pm for refreshments to start at 8pm. George Chandler, a fellow RoSPA Tutor from the Kent Group. George is a retired Civil Engineer, having worked in Local Government for 40+ years, mostly on highways. His presentation is geared towards Advanced Drivers and he expects us to challenge him – his talk is PowerPoint based photos, illustrating lots of issues we all encounter on the roads. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and sharing experiences. Be prepared – George is a hardened cynic, politically incorrect and will challenge your perceptions of highways. It promises to be a lively(!) entertaining and thought-provoking evening for everyone.
