How can the Group help me?
The Weston & Mendip Group, which provides assistance to drivers of Cars and Commercial vehicles, was formed in 1983 with the specific aim of improving the standard and safety of motoring, and promoting the IAM motto - "Skill with Responsibility". New Members join the Group as an Associate and are then given personal guidance and assistance by the Group's own voluntary trained Observers. The assigned Observer accompanies the Associates on a number of runs, each lasting about an hour. During these runs, the Observer notes and compliments good habits and seeks out, discusses and eradicates the bad habits developed of the years, whilst honing observation skills and car/driver sympathey - so bringing the Associate up to the standard required to pass the Advanced Driving Test.
The subscription includes the provision of Theory Courses, which consist of four evening sessions.
