Every year in the United Kingdom, thousands of people are killed or injured in road traffic accidents. Frighteningly, over 95% of these accidents are caused wholly or in part by human error.
Birmingham Advanced Motorists is a group of unpaid volunteers who seek to promote road safety in Birmingham, UK, by giving its membership the opportunity to acquire the skills ofAdvanced Driving. This free guidance is provided by volunteer observers, all of whom have passed the Advanced Driving Test of the Institute of Advanced Motorists.
Birmingham Advanced Motorists provide guidance in preparing for the IAM Advanced Driving Test in private cars (manual and automatic) and commercial vehicles.
We would be interested in hearing the views of other motorists, individuals or representatives of like-minded organizations, at home or abroad.

| Multi-Runs |
| Multi-Runs are specifically designed as a learning experience for Group Associates where they can meet other drivers preparing for the IAM test, exchange experiences and ask questions. It’s an opportunity for every Associate to have an extra driving session, and also learn from watching a session taking place. The whole morning is designed around learning, but more importantly it’s learning with FUN!
Starting From: McDonalds Restaurant at the junction of Bristol Road (A38) and Lee Bank / Belgrave Middleway (A41), Birmingham. Having pre-booked, please arrive at the venue for 9.30am. After introductions and informal chat with Associates and Observers alike, there will be a formal briefing at 9.45am enabling driving sessions to start at 10am. There are two sessions (driving and watching) each approximately 1 hour over a distance of 25 – 35 miles depending on road and traffic conditions. On your return at approximately 12.15pm Associates will be debriefed. Multi Runs are being extended… Full members are very welcome to come and check their driving skills. You may have taken the IAM test some time ago and feel a need to refresh. Your friends or family members are also welcome to join us for a run out with an observer to find out about road craft, what we are all about and check their driving skills before signing up for the course.
