Advanced Driving in NI

Northern Ireland (IAM Region 8)

Since 1961, when the Belfast group was formed, the various IAM affiliated advanced driving groups within Northern Ireland have been pushing for safer driving on our roads. Over this time we have earned a proven track record of improving driving skills and reducing accident figures.

Now, nearly 50 years on, we have over 2,700 active members within Northern Ireland and approx 10,000 local drivers have taken their advanced test with a pass rate of 75%. However, relatively, this is still a very small percentage of the drivers on the road, and over the next few years we aim to vastly improve the image and public awareness of our groups.

In 2006, we celebrated 50 years of the IAM, and held several events throughout Northern Ireland to encourage more people to get involved.

As an organisation, we're not all about driving and we do have a social side within each of the groups and often help other charitable organisations, for example, marshalling the Marie Curie Ladies Driving Challenge.

2009 will see our first AMNI Karting Challenge which is an event we hope to run annually, bringing together many other car or bike enthusiasts and general motoring organistations. Each of the teams entered will fight it out on the track for the top spot and crown of 'Fastest in NI'.
