Advanced Driving

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

The Norfolk and Norwich Advanced Group of Advanced Motorists offer FREE one-off assessment drives. This will be conducted by one of our specially trained Observers, who will assess your driving during a 60-90 minute drive and give you honest feedback and advice. You may then wish to progress and take the full Skill For Life which costs just £200. Once enrolled you will be allocated one of our Observers, who will work with you and provide help, advice and guidance to prepare you for taking the Institutes 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 only 6 observed drives/rides, 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 experience you get between each session.

All of our Observers are unpaid volunteers and offer their time free of charge to help you be a better driver/rider. The Skill For Life cost of £200 includes The Institutes book "How to be a better driver/rider" 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 the National IAM 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. For Motorcyclists, however, a small contribution towards your Observers fuel may also be required.
