We are your local advanced driving group affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Motorists.  Our role is to help you to develop your driving skills so as to equal or exceed the level necessary to pass the IAM test.
This leads to

  • greater enjoyment
  • greater safety - your own, your passengers and that of other road users
  • greater comfort – through smooth use of the controls
  • greater economy – you will not need to brake as hard or as often

Driving can once again become a joy rather than a necessary evil as you tune your own driving skills and observe your interaction with other road users.

To help you move towards this, you will be matched with a ’group observer’ who has been through the same process as the one on which you are embarking.  He or she knows the pain and the pleasures of the process and will accompany you on driving practice runs to guide you in the techniques and attitudes which you will need to pass the IAM test. 

You drive your own car and take your own time to be ready for the test.

Your observer will direct you onto all sorts of roads and find challenges that fit your developing abilities.  This course is not ‘L’ test practice; it is a grown-up driving course where inappropriate stuff is stripped away and solid, useful techniques and attitudes are built in.  You will learn to really find, prioritise and judge hazards accurately.  You will be safe, smooth, and systematic and yet, when appropriate, able to make good progress.

Once learned, it really can be a  ”Skill for Life”.
