IAM RoadSmart In the Media

Updated December 2023:

We are delighted to announce that we now welcome members, subject to a competency assessment, who have only their restricted licence for their vehicle. This means we can assist younger and/or less experienced riders and drivers to be better and safer on our roads (This change was made after some of the interviews below were recorded).

I believe most members will see the importance of reaching riders and drivers at an earlier stage. However, please note, that we are not a training environment for those in need of professional training, but rather a mentor to assist in developing skills in achieving higher standards and hazard awareness.

Our thanks as ever to all our volunteers, without whom this would simply not be possible.

Colin Gates
President
(from April 2023)
