Taunton Group of Advanced Motorists

Fewer than 20 per cent of motorcyclists are under 30 but they represent half of all rider casualties.As many people take the motorcycle test after they are 30, the casualty figures include inexperienced riders in their 30s and 40s.

Recognising that the majority of collisions are caused by driver or rider error, the IAM launched the Advanced Riding test to help make bikers safer too. The tests are newly accredited by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).

Advanced Motocycle Test

The Advanced Riding Test is not exclusively about safety, but encourages the rider to feel confident on the road, to make good progress, and to get greater enjoyment from the experience.

The IAM Skill for Life package for Motorcyclists contains everything you need to get your riding skills up to speed.

• An initial assessment with an IAM observer from an IAM group local to you
• Six-on-road sessions with coaching from a qualified advanced rider (more can be added at no extra cost)

• Membership of your local IAM bike group, with invitations to group events
• Full preparation for your Advanced Riding Test
• Your Advanced Riding Test undertaken with a qualified examiner
• An IAM Advanced Riding Certificate on passing the test
• 12-month membership of the national IAM

Rider coaching will be delivered by our qualified observer network who are available through your local IAM bike group.
