About us London Advanced Motorists (LAM) is a registered charity, affiliated to IAM Roadsmart. Our aim is to promote and improve the standards of driving and the advancement of road safety. We are made up of a friendly group of volunteers, covering all ages, all with a keen interest in better driving & motoring for everyone on the road. To this end, we encourage all motorists to take the Advanced Driving Test, and offer guidance through our associate scheme, on how to prepare for this. You can join the group either as an existing full IAM Roadsmart member, or as an "associate" member. Associates are members who have not yet passed their Advanced Driving Test, but wish to get involved and take advantage from the coaching & advice given by our Observers. As a group, we provide ... • An introduction. All new associates get an introduction to the group and course, which includes a short demonstration drive. • Observed drives during which Associates are accompanied by our trained Observers who help them to retain and improve their driving skills week by week, in preparation for IAM Roadsmart's Advanced Driving Test. • Regular social meetings & pre-arranged talks.   • More specialised events & group visits. • Skid control training, in partnership with neighbouring groups and external partners.
