Motorcycle Group – Safety Guidelines
With the introduction of the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015, IAM NZ must take proper steps to ensure the safety of its members and the public. The attached document assists Regional Groups to meet these obligations.

Motorcycle Group – Social Rides
Social rides play a key part in IAM NZ activity. The following guidelines have been developed to help ensure that rides are run safely and by the standards that IAM NZ stands for.
Observer Examiner Clarification Guide
The following document has been put together to provide guidance about ‘Common Confusions’ identified with both Observing and Examining within the IAM. It has been compiled and adapted from the advice provided by Examiners across the UK and with input from Observers from New Zealand. Suggestions for further feedback or clarification of confusing or ambiguous guidance should be emailed to your regional group so it can be vetted and passed on to the chief examiner for further evaluation and inclusion.
