What is the Advanced Driving Test?
This is a test devised and administered by the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motoring) and RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). Each organisation has a slightly different test, and both have an annual membership fee. The IAM is a charitable organisation set up to improve driving standards voluntarily. Its tests are ungraded and marked pass or fail. Once you pass, you are an Advanced Driver for life. RoSPA is also a charity and mainly concerned, as its name suggests, with promoting road safety. It has 3 grades: Bronze, Silver and Gold. You must re-take the Advanced Driving Test every 3 years to improve or maintain your standard. How do I know I’m eligible to take the Advanced Driving Test? To undertake the Advanced Driving Test, either course, you must hold a full UK driving licence. It is usually recommended that you should have this for 12 months. Is there a lower age limit for the Advanced Driving Test? No, as long as you have a full licence for 12 months. Newly-qualif
