I found and went on the local Advanced Riders website as I had no response to 2 emails early in the year for going on one of their assessment days following an invite to book a ride in the local rag. A bit disappointed, as I know I benefit from a "refresher" course or ride after a layoff, other than dirt bikes, over Winter
Why on earth do they need all this stuff...? Surely in the event of a "pull" it is the responsibility of the Rider, not the Assessor?
I guess it's their party, so they can make their own rules, but none of this stuff was required on any of the training rides I have done before.

You will also need to complete an eyesight test (You must be able to read (with glasses or contact lenses, if necessary) a car number plate made after 1 September 2001 from 20 metres).
Failure on any of the above will result in no assessment being conducted.
Eligibility - Assessment Days are open to full licence holders with category A1, A2 and A entitlement

More like it... OK, check the rider is qualified to ride a "big" bike, but any more?g00ner wrote:Bit weird - frustrated wannabe plod maybe?
Did a riding assessment couple of months back to qualify for SERV volunteering - they only wanted my driver no.
Re: Advanced riding assessment
You may well find that it all boils down to their organisation's insurance and covering their backs. If you were to attend one of their events without all the right credentials and you had an accident, possibly you or a third party could sue the organisation as they were the organisers and had not carried out basic information checks.

Re: Advanced riding assessment
You're right, some companies don't want to pay for super insurance so they are forced to ask for loads of things.

Off Road Skills in Wales run by Simon Pavey is the best £500 for 2 days riding/training I have ever done!
