Institute Of Advanced Motorists

The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) is a charity based in the United Kingdom and serving nine countries, whose objective is to improve car driving and motorcycle riding standards, and so enhance road safety, through the proper use of a system of car and motorcycle control based on Roadcraft (commonly "the System"). The IAM merged its commercial arms into one organisation in April 2010 called "IAM Drive & Survive" which offers on line and on road driver training for companies of all sizes.

The IAM was formed in 1956 and has more than 100,000 members, all of whom have taken and passed an advanced test in a car, commercial vehicle or on a motorcycle. The IAM has recently introduced an initiative offering cyclists coaching and guidance, based on a new manual "How to be a better cyclist".

    To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.
