Institute of Advanced Motorists

The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) is a road safety charity founded in 1956.

Its main objective is to encourage drivers to make a positive contribution to Road Safety by raising their skills to advanced standards based on techniques developed by Police Driving Schools throughout the UK.

Membership is attained by passing the Institute's Advanced Driving Test. Examiners are all holders of a Police Advanced Driving Qualification which is recognised internationally as representing driving excellence,

To date over 360,000 drivers and motorcycle riders have taken the IAM test; more than 10,000 tests are conducted every year and the current membership stands at over 108,000

Studies of accident rates carried out by the Governments Transport Research Laboratory show that advanced drivers not only cause fewer accidents, but also have the skill to avoid many of those caused by others.This is something which is being reflected in premiums quoted for advanced motorists and motorcyclists by an increasing number of insurance companies.
