| Road safety is a very important aspect of all members training and members are asked to undertake 3 levels of road safety assessments. Road Rider mini achievement badge must be gained before you can take your D test and there is a minimum age of 7 years for taking the mini badge.
Road Rider achievement badge must be gained before you can take your C test and there is a minimum requirement of D+ test before taking your RR badge. There may be some exceptions to this for new members 12 years and over. Road Rider Test is now voluntary but we recommend that members aim to achieve this test after they have passed their C Test.
