IAM RoadSmart

IAM RoadSmart: Safer journeys for all.


We are the UK’s leading road safety charity. We began life in 1956, as the Institute of Advanced Motorists. And since day one, our aim has been to make UK roads safer for all. We achieve this through coaching and educating road users, and campaigning for improvements in national policies and a safer road network.

IAM RoadSmart has thousands of qualified volunteers who deliver our courses through a national network of driving and riding groups. We currently have over 68,000 members who’ve taken our courses, and whose membership fees fund our work. With over 42 million licensed drivers and riders in the UK, the need has never been greater. And our commitment to creating safer roads for all has never been stronger. And working together, with our members, volunteers, sponsors, partners and all road users, this will continue to be our motto, our goal and our inspiration.
