The Cyprus Advanced Driving and Road Safety Network is a voluntary, non profit organization promoting road safety in Cyprus.
The network consists of people who have various road safety skills and believe in using those skills to help reduce the number of road traffic accidents in Cyprus.
Ex UK Police Advanced Drivers:

They include former traffic officers and Police driving instructors
Holders of Advanced Driving Certificates:

Driving (IAM) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
Authorized Driving Instructors:
Trained in the UK and qualified through the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) to teach students to drive.
Other Skills:
Within the network we also have personnel who have technical skills, such as civil engineering and accident prevention experience and are able to advise in
that capacity.
All have shown an aptitude and willingness to pass on their skills and experience to others.
Our contribution so far:
Driving Courses:
Police:
We have conducted a number of advanced driving courses for the Cyprus Police, including their Driving School.
Through their officers we hope that with the knowledge gained they will be able to advise other drivers and fellow officers constructively on all aspects of safe driving.
The Public:
We have trained, through RoADS, a number of members of the public in advanced / defensive driving techniques.
A number have gained skills and further training in order that they may be able to train others.

RoADS has held regular meetings for the public and their members over a number of years.
Contact with Government Departments.
