At IAM RoadSmart we make better drivers and riders. As the UK’s largest independent road safety charity, formed in 1956, we’ve spent more than 60 years making our roads safer by improving driver and rider skills through coaching and education.

Our qualified experts, our network of over 68,000 members and 160 local groups are our lifeblood. They champion our cause and help drive our vision – to be the best, most recognised provider of coaching and advice for all post-licence drivers and riders, and to help make our roads safer for all.

   How to become a member of the IAM

IAM membership is open to anyone who has passed our advanced driving or riding tests or who qualifies by exemption (holding a recognised qualification).

Membership of an IAM local group starts with your advanced driving or riding course as they will be the people to guide and mentor you through to advanced driver or rider status. The way that we are organised means that you would need to become an IAM member before you could become an IAM local group member, access to our local group network is one of the benefits of being an IAM member.
