IAM RoadSmart

IAM RoadSmart formerly called the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) is a charity based in the United Kingdom and serving nine countries, whose objective is to improve car driving standards, motorcycle riding standards, and enhance road safety by using the British police's system of car and motorcycle control. The System was devised in 1937 by r... acing driver Mark Everard Pepys, 6th Earl of Cottenham, to reduce accidents in police pursuits. Results between those who do and do not pass the IAM test vary in frequency of crashes on the road. The IAM was formed in 1956 and has over 82,000 members, all of whom have taken and passed an advanced test in a car, commercial vehicle or on a motorcycle. In 2006, the charity took over the work of the AA Motoring Trust, which had been established in 2002 by The Automobile Association. The charity brought its different activities and programmes together under one umbrella called IAM RoadSmart in 2016.Read More
