"People often say that you begin to learn to drive after you’ve passed your test. The same goes for passing the Advanced test, as I did at age 20." Richard Gentle, IAM RoadSmart member for 40 years, tells us about his journey over the decades.

Christmas shopping can be the perfect way to start the festivities this season, and with some well thought out plans it shouldn’t break the bank to park.

In 2020, over 18,000 accidents were reported across the UK where rain, snow, fog, or high winds were a contributing factor. More severe road traffic accidents are happening in winter due to motorists being unprepared for driving in winter weather and ignoring weather warnings, and IAM RoadSmart believes now is the time to remind drivers how to drive safely when the temperature drops, and the daylight hours get shorter.

Christmas doesn’t have to be a burden on the planet. With a little imagination and planning you can have all the festive fun without the footprint.
