DriveCheck is a short Driving Assessment aimed at everyone who is interested in safer driving but who doesn't feel they are (yet) ready to take the IAM Advanced Test.
DriveCheck applicants are put in touch with their local IAM Group who will in turn arrange a mutually convenient time for the assessment to take place.
It takes about an hour comprising an initial introduction (document check etc.), followed by a 35-40-minute drive with the Group observer, followed by a feedback session, at which the candidate will be presented with a written feedback form.
DriveCheck candidates then become an Associate of the IAM, for a period of 12 months.
DriveCheck is NOT available for existing IAM Members, who instead should have a Members Driving Assessment.
A local safety initiative “The Complete Driver” devised by Cecil Ritchie has been set up in conjunction with the Aberdeenshire Community Safety Partnership to offer a limited number of free DriveChecks in the Marr and Formartine areas.
