Gloucestershire RoSPA

I became fed up with Google surveillance so I took professional cybersecurity advice.

Top four tips were: Have an active VPN (www.nordvpn.com); use the Brave browser with its built-in and free Adguard software (https://brave.com/); use the ‘No AI’ search engine (https://noai.duckduckgo.com/) and sign up for Protonmail email account (https://account.proton.me/apps).

Result = Not a single advertisement and zero AI slop or Spam / Phishing attacks. Worth considering.

10am tomorrow - ride-ins welcome :-)

Congratulations to Sean Nicholas for passing the Motorcycle Advanced (AKA Senior) Tutor test on 6 July 2026 with Examiner David Collicott.

This is a very demanding test that comprises: riding at Gold level; tutoring the examiner and fault finding the examiner's ride.

Very well done Sean.

Congratulations to Brian Davis on achieving Silver on his advanced car test on 2nd June, with Examiner Mark Newman. Well done Brian.

Congratulations to Mark Bull for achieving Silver on his advanced motorcycle test on Sat 30 May 26 with Examiner also called Mark Bull.

Congratulations to Chris Remigio for passing his Advanced Car test at Gold grade on 22 May 2026. Chris was tutored by Paul Kelly-Fursdon.

Very well done.

What does Gold mean?

A RoSPA gold is the highest civilian driving standard available and the holder will operate at the highest level. Gold is only awarded to the driver who shows a consistently high standard of driving throughout the test. The driver will demonstrate a confidence in their ability together with a thorough understanding of the principles contained in Roadcraft and how to apply those principles to situations that occur during the test.

Only for Glos RoADAR Members (email already sent to all)

Congratulations to Roger Slater for passing his Advanced Motorcycle re-test at Gold grade on 27 April 2026 with Examiner David Collicott.
