What happens on an advanced driving test and how to contact the IAM or RoADA.

What happens on an advanced driving test?
*Both IAM and RoSPA tests are of similar format, a 90 minute drive on a variety of town and country roads and, where possible, a motorway section.*
Before starting, you will be asked to run through a vehicle safety check. Shortly after moving away, you will need to test the brakes.
Your driving should be smooth, safe, progressive, controlled, efficient and sympathetic of the car. Your manner should be calm and courteous. You will need to demonstrate good awareness, anticipation, and concentration throughout the drive. You will be asked to perform some slow manoeuvres, and to answer some questions relating to the Highway Code and vehicle maintenance. During your drive you will be given the option of delivering a commentary, which could enhance the result or the grade you achieve.
*At the end of the test, you will be given your result, and receive feedback about the drive. The examiners are all police-trained to a high standard.*
