- Our Editor
signs up!
- This year our editor Patrick
has decided to take a look at driving skills as there have
been so many complaints lately about the standard of driving in
and around the country. He has signed up to go on a course
with the Institute of Advanced Motorists to see what can
be done to combat this and will bring you updates on his
progress and information on what he has learned.
The I.A.M. is not for learners, but for people of all ages and
skills who have passed their test. Holding a clean license
or a accident free history, no matter for how long... is not a
sign of good driving and the I.A.M. provides a course that looks
at all driving conditions, types of roads and behaviour on the modern
roads. The group is entirely run by volunteers who
operate the courses
and hold meetings regularly on improving driving standards.
The course consists of an Observer
who goes out on the open roads with the candidates and he or she
then offer advice and suggestions. They do not offer formal
tuition, only advice and help to achieve the required standard the
I.A.M. upholds. The last part of the course is a test by an Institute's Examiner. For more information about the course
they run and about the I.A.M. can be found on their web page at www.iam.org.uk
and on Sefton's page at www.iam.org.uk/groups/sefton.
