About Advanced riding

Advanced riding groups have a significant part to play in encouraging riders to improve their safety. Volunteers help encourage riders to adopt a systematic approach and defensive riding techniques, to improve their overall riding skills and safety. Many groups have a flourishing social scene that compliments their training ethos.

There are two principal national groups that promote advanced riding, each of which also have local groups:

• Institute of Advanced Motorists
  IAM RoadSmart
• Cheddar Valley Advanced Motorcyclists
  CVAM – a local IAM group
• Somerset Advanced Motorcyclists
  SAM – a local IAM group
• RoSPA Advanced Riders and Drivers
  RoADaR
• Devon and Somerset Advanced Riders
  DSAR – a local RoADaR group
