Glasgow North Group of Advanced Motorists

About


At Glasgow North Group we recognise that our members all have differing skills and that no matter how experienced a road user that we all have something to learn. We endeavour to make our members safer drivers and riders in a fun and enjoyable way. We were one of the first IAM groups to add motorcycles and our membership is fairly evenly split between car and bike members with many having attained Advanced Standards in both riding and driving, added to this we even have a few HGV and PSV Advanced Drivers.

Young car drivers

The group are manned by volunteers who give their time freely to assist and coach those wishing to become Advanced Drivers and Advanced Riders. We operate two car courses each year; one in March and the other in September and the bike group meet throughout the season on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

The group has a social element. Entertaining and informative guest speakers attend once a month on a Thursday Evening and the bike group have a monthly run on the second Saturday of the month to ensure qualified members can keep in touch and maintain their advanced rider skills. Members also have facilities within this website to share views, add comments and keep in touch with other members.

The Glasgow North Group of Advanced Motorists is a road safety charitable organisation registered with The Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) SC018356 and is affiliated with the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).

The group was formed in 1978, is one of the oldest and largest in Scotland, is manned by volunteers who enthusiastically work to improve road safety by encouraging drivers and riders to improve their skills through coaching and critique.
