Support for Associate Members preparing for the advanced test is provided by a national network of over 180 local IAM RoadSmart groups. These groups, all run by volunteers, represent a unique resource with unparalleled experience and expertise.
They also enable members to share ideas and contribute to IAM RoadSmart's important work in developing and promoting innovative road safety strategies. You'll meet and enjoy the company of fellow driving and motorcycling enthusiasts. IAM members who have lost touch with their local group will be warmly welcomed back and may be encouraged to become an observer or group official.

The committee currently exists of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer along with several co-opted members who oversee our social media content, newsletter delivery, social events co-ordination, observing and associate training.
