The Institute of Advanced Motorists was founded in 1956 and is now the UK's leading road safety charity dedicated to raising driving and riding standards through the Advanced Driving Test, engaging with the road-using public and influencing road safety policy.  There are currently around 130,000 IAM members and over 200 IAM affiliated groups nationally.

The IAM Advanced Driving Test is available to drivers of motor cars, motorcycles, three wheelers and commercial vehicles.  Statistics show that those who have passed the Institute test have had their chances of being involved in a collision reduced by two thirds.

You can join the IAM as an Associate through the 'Skill for Life' , 'DriveCheck' or 'RideCheck' programmes, upgrading to full membership upon passing the Advanced Driving Test within 12 months.
