A particular feature of the OAD calendar are our regular drive outs during the summer months and also on occasional winter Sundays.
Drive outs are for all group members who wish to polish their driving and observing skills. The aim is to offer sociable and enjoyable evenings to support the continued maintenance of high level advanced driving.
On drive outs we aim to meet the needs of all OAD members. That can mean all of the following – and more:
- Observers team up to refine their driving and practise their observing skills on each other.
- Associate members have a chance to get their driving observed by a different observer. - a new voice can help to reinforce or clarify the advice already received from their regular observer.
- Full members polish up their advanced driving, sometimes focussing on a particular skill or topic.
- Members preparing for the Masters qualification benefit from advice from a range of experts.
- Members who are thinking about becoming observers can find out what’s involved and give observing a try.
- Members with particularly exciting or unusual vehicles can put them through their paces for the benefit of colleagues.
- Non-members can come along and enjoy a taster drive before committing to the full Advanced Driver Course.
OAD drive outs offer an opportunity to discuss and practise advanced driving in convivial company.
Check the events page or the latest newsletter for details of dates, times and meeting places. You will need to register with us before attending a drive out.
We look forward to seeing you at a drive out in 2024.
