For your information. Nottingham No1 Group of Advanced Motorists.

	The Programme Our advanced driving Skill for Life programme (SFL) includes free theory and on-road preparation by volunteers, all of whom are advanced drivers. (They are likely to have full-time jobs, so applicants may be asked to be flexible in scheduling their course.) With the right preparation, advanced driving is not as difficult as you might suppose: it is within the reach of most motorists. But, as with any form of further education and skills training, it's up to the individual to get the most from the programme, which can often be completed with three months. You use your own vehicle, and the test is conducted by an IAM-appointed examiner who holds a Police Advanced Driving Certificate. It lasts about 90 minutes and is run over all types of road. If you are successful, you will receive a pass certificate and be proposed for IAM membership. There is no age limit. The only requirement is that you have held a full UK or EU licence for at least three months (and at the time of taking the test you do not have more than eight penalty points). Results Drivers who have qualified as full IAM members have been shown to be 50-70 per cent less likely to be involved in collisions (source: Transport Research Laboratory 1991), are less likely to incur penalty points for bad driving - and may, after passing the IAM advanced test, benefit from reduced insurance costs. Satisfaction In addition to you and your passengers, other road-users benefit when you complete the IAM's Skill for Life programme of advanced driving. You will find that you're far less stressed, that you enjoy you motoring more than ever, and that there's immense satisfaction in applying the skills that you have acquired - safeguarding all those with whom you share the road.
