Every member’s journey is unique — but all begin with the a welcome from our local group , led by volunteers dedicated to making you, your family, and your friends safer on the road.
From your first drive or ride with a trained Observer, you’ll gain practical tips and confidence that enhance every aspect of your travel — whether commuting, touring, or enjoying a weekend spin. Along the way, you’ll pick up expert advice tailored to real-world driving and riding.
Joining us is not just about skills — it’s about community. Our group offers opportunities to connect, from including social events and meetups. Learning is fun, and friendships come standard.
Scan ahead, predict what other road users might do, and choose speed or position early so you can respond smoothly rather than react at the last second.
Use precise inputs for steering, throttle, braking, and gear selection to keep the car balanced and stable, especially when changing speed or direction.
Spot emerging risks—pedestrians, cyclists, junctions, surface changes—and prioritize the most likely threats so you can reduce speed or take evasive action safely.
Select the best lane position for visibility and safety, maintain good mirror use, and perform regular, systematic observations to maintain situational awareness.
You’ll learn a system of car control originally developed for police drivers, focusing on observation, anticipation, and planning.
Training includes real-world drives with an IAM Observer who gives feedback and guidance tailored to your driving style.
