Member Stories

In 1972 my grandpa encouraged my dad to attend the IAM RoadSmart Dundee open day to test his own skills. Over five decades later my dad has now received recognition for being an IAM RoadSmart member for 50 years. I realised it was now or never to undertake the course for myself.

My journey with the IAM began after a family member of mine recommended I look into the course, as he had done it himself and spoke highly of the benefits the course gave him, and put me in touch with Geoff Salt, who is an observer with the Derwent and Hope Valley group.

After passing my driving test at the age of 18 and enjoying time behind the wheel I decided to pursue further driving opportunities and joined IAM RoadSmart as an Associate Member.
