The High Wycombe Group of Advanced Motorists is a charitable organisation whose aim is to educate drivers to a safer standard of driving through the Advanced Driver Course. As group of volunteers, we are affiliated with IAM Roadsmart. We do so by mentoring Associate members, until they reach the required standard to pass the Advanced Driver test. The group covers a wide area from Watlington in the west to Pinner in the east, Stoke Mandeville to the north and Slough to the south. See About Us for more details.
Are you interested to find out what Advanced Driving is all about, but not sure you want to commit to the full course right away?
If so, please see our Offers section about our Free Taster and we also offer discounts to those Under 26.
A group of school children Holmer Green First School and Pre-school who participate as Travel Ambassadors recently became concerned about the speed of traffic passing by their school and designed road signs asking local traffic to slow down.
Bucks Council approved the errection of the signs and the High Wycombe Group of Advanced Motorists paid a contribution to the school for the signs to be printed.
The group received the following letter thanking them for the contributions. The signs have since been erected.
Congratulations to our most recent test passes.
"I found the course more demanding than I expected but more valuable, in consequence. The booklet was fine and the stimulus to read the new Highway Code was a bonus. I much enjoyed our sessions together, which made clear the standards expected."
Tony Hatton, January 2023.
"I was gifted my Advanced Driver Course with IAM Roadsmart and I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions. I have gained skills and knowledge which I will continue to use every time I drive. As a result of these sessions and passing the Advanced Driving Test, I feel I have gained confidence and found more enjoyment in driving. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who may be considering it!"
Louise Geary (nee White), December 2022.
"I'd truly recommend the IAM Advanced Drivers course to anyone. I feel it 's particularly beneficial to any young drivers, like myself, who can form lifelong habits from the course teachings and learnt driving techniques. The course made me more aware, more controlled, more confident and all round a safer driver on the roads. It 's a great experience and incredible value for money... it 's a no brainier! Thank you to IAM, and particularly my Observer for guiding me through such a worthwhile course."
Lottie Supple, Oct 2022.
"I can highly recommend this course. Having passed my test 35 years ago I had picked up more than a few bad habits and realised the Highway Code had 36 more pages that I had never read! My assigned Observer guided me through the course over 12 sessions and helped me consolidate my good driving skills as well as develop new ones. Although I did find the course challenging I was very glad I didn't drop out. As a result of completing the course and passing the Advanced Driving Test my confidence and ability in driving has improved immensely and I now enjoy driving again as opposed to seeing it as a chore."
Guy Stroud, April 2022
The group has been provided with some useful advice for drivers in the UK from overseas - particularly the recent influx of Ukrainian drivers, here: Guidance for Ukranian Guests menu.
Please see the updates to the Highway Code which you should be aware of, which came into affect on 29th January 2022.
