5. You Can Trust the Trust
It's Part of the IAM
The IAM Motoring Trust is the newly established research and advocacy arm of the IAM. It has already embarked on an ambitious five-year 
programme of safety and transport policy research aimed at protecting and promoting the interests of all road users.
It intends to contribute regularly and vigorously to the national transport policy debate and has already issued a number of thought-provoking press releases, including:
- Drive Smart to Cut CO2 and Accidents
- Convince Motorists that ‘Speed’ Cameras are ‘Road Safety’ Cameras
- Children & Road Safety – A Guide for Parents
- More Pressure Needed on Tyres and an End of ‘Free Air’ Soon
The latter story was based on a survey of 500 motorists and found that nearly 2/3rds of drivers inflate their tyres at filling stations, and could therefore be putting their lives at risk by checking and setting the tyres when they’re already warm.
The survey also established that the era of ‘free air’ from garages is rapidly coming to an end, with many outlets now demanding some 20p for two minutes or 50p for three.
