 Do you know what the weather's going to be like this winter?
None of us really do. But you can be prepared for the worst and change your driving style to suit the conditions.
We are here to help you get through the winter safely. We've got driving techniques for every adverse weather condition and will help you prepare your car for winter. You can even check the weather forecast.
If you enjoy driving then the IAM is for you. Our members, groups and coaches across the country have your safety at heart. If you want to know more about advanced driving, improving your skills or have a question about driving in the winter, just ask us.
And if you take one tip from us, make it this one:
If the weather's bad, ask yourself if you really need to make the journey

 We are a group of enthusiastic drivers, affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Motorists, one of over 200 groups that makes up the IAM, our number is 7101 and we are also a registered charity. The IAM has about 100,000 full members, all of whom have passed the advanced driving test.
Advanced Driving is based on the system used by the Police and we explain this to new members on a one to one basis. Once aquired, these skills are very much about making driving more rewarding and enjoyable, but of course they make for safer driving and usually result in reduced insurance costs.
The What We Do Page will tell you more about the way in which the 'Skill for Life' programme operates. Rachel's page gives a personal account of progress to passing the test by one of our members.
All drivers who have held a full licence for at least 3 months are eligible. Company car drivers are welcome as individuals however organisations that are considering advanced driver training for numbers of employees should contact IAM Fleet. Drivers with points on their licences are also welcome, there is no longer a limit to the number of points to be able to take the test.
We run a programme of monthly meetings and other social events, usually open to non-members, details on the Events Page. If you are thinking of joining the IAM why not come along to one of our meetings, held monthly at The Cherry Tree on Oundle Road. You will be very welcome. |
