This guide has been produced mainly for the benefit of Associates but it can also be an invaluable document for Observers.  It is a compilation of the main problems which Associates have when preparing for the IAM Advanced Driving Test and has been compiled from the copious notes of guidance the author has given to Associate Members and Observers in the course of c2500 hours of observed drives and subsequent debriefs.

It therefore contains the nitty-gritty ‘how to do it' or 'hands on' practical techniques and information not explained in detail in either HTBABD or Roadcraft.  It also includes useful phrases and sayings which, added together, form an important and integral part of the mnemonics used in practical advanced driving.

As a working document it is continually being updated with additions and amendments.

Whether or not you are undergoing an advanced driving course you may find that some of the advanced driving principles challenge those generally understood to be correct practice by standard drivers.

If you have any questions about the advanced driving techniques contained in this document the author shall be very pleased to hear them and you can do this here: Contact Us .
