Advanced Driving

The Norfolk and Norwich Group of Advanced Motorists promotes safe driving through use of a system of car control described in "Roadcraft", the Police drivers' handbook. This system is used by the Police and all advanced driving organisations in the UK and internationally.

Should you wish to take the Advanced Driver Course. you should contact the national organisation, IAM Roadsmart, to enrol. Click the button below to be taken to their website. Once enrolled you will be allocated to the Norfolk and Norwich Group of Advanced Motorists and one of our Observers (mentors) will work with you and provide help, advice and guidance to prepare you for taking the advanced driving test.

Depending upon your level of skill and knowledge when you enrol, you could be ready to take your advanced driving test after approximately 6 observed drives, although we place no limit on the number of drives we will provide to get you to test standard. A lot depends upon your ability when joining the group and the amount of practice you get between each session.

All of our Observers are unpaid volunteers and are qualified to a standard approved by the Institute of the Motor Industry, and offer their time free of charge to help you be a better driver. Your joining fee includes a copy of the Advanced Driver Logbook upon which your Observed Runs will be based, a copy of the Highway Code, your test fee and your first year's membership of both IAM Roadsmart and also of the Norfolk and Norwich Group.

As all Observed runs are completed in your vehicle, the only other cost will be your fuel.
