3-in-a-car sessions are designed for those who have passed the IAM Advanced Driving Test and above. The purpose of three-in-a-car sessions is to maintain a high standard of driving within the ranks of Advanced Drivers so they are centred on a high level of awareness and adherence to the system of car control.
When you arrive at the given venue the 'Team Leader' will assign you, with 2 other Advanced Drivers, into a team of three. One of you elects to be 'first to drive’ and all three of you drive off in that car for 30mins or so with the other two noting the standard of driving skills.
They will look for high standards including the level of concentration, observation, observation links, anticipation of what might happen next and forward planning. At the end of that drive there is a short de-brief where the noted points are put across to the driver. Someone elects to go next in their own car and so on until all three have had their turn. The whole thing is over in around 1 ½ - 2 hours and it is completely free of charge! It's also fun. No records are made of the drives and advice will be given if required.
