A big congratulations go to Kevin Hooton for passing the Diamond Special Advanced Drivers Examination.
Diamond was established in 1992 by the Driving Instructors Association (DIA) to provide a benchmark for the nations professional driving and riding instructors. Although instructors are periodically checked on their instructional ability, driving standards are not officially checked. Diamond filled the void by providing an advanced driving test modelled precisely upon the DSA test and accredited by them.
With today’s busy roads more of a challenge than ever and driving standards variable to say the least, driving defensively is not only desirable – it can prove to be an absolute life saver for you, your family and for other road users.
The DIAmond Advanced Motorists Test is the only advanced test in the UK that uses the Governments Driving Standards Agency’s test marking system – a system with which we are all familiar.
Training to pass it or the even tougher DIAmond Special Test will improve your driving technique, your observation skills, making you far more aware of what is actually happening in your driving environment. Add to this the fact that you will use your vehicle far more economically, thereby saving fuel and reducing emissions in the process. Your smoother driving style should also reflect in less wear and tear which can produce even further savings!
The pass mark for the advanced Diamond test is no more than 6 driving faults. The even tougher special test is no more than 2 driving faults which makes Kevin's pass all the more special as he received no driving faults at all.
