ABOUT RICHARD

Richard Hornsey, Approved Driving Instructor
I became an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) after retiring from a 30-year career in the police where I worked predominantly in the fields of Roads Policing, Collision Investigation and Casualty Reduction. I have seen the consequences of bad driving first-hand and the devastating impact that it can have on all those involved. These are life-changing incidents that affect many people and that is why I see my role as not just training someone to pass the driving test but to equip them with the skills and knowledge that will make them a better driver for life.
I have always been passionate about cars and driving and I held a class one advanced driving permit for cars and motorcycles. Outside the police, I have been a RoSPA examiner for cars, motorcycles and goods vehicles since 2013. I ride my own motorcycle (when I get the chance!) and am qualified to drive large goods vehicles.
