Nigel Thompson passed his advanced driving test yesterday with flying colours, awarded a F1rst for an excellent drive, and the first result of the New Year for GAM. His examiner said “Nigel made safe, legal and systematic progress throughout with good spoken thought. Appropriate signals were given to inform other road users of his intentions,…
Rupert Rogers had a great day last Sunday when he achieved a F1rst award on his advanced test and managed to score ‘1’ in every one of the 23 marked categories. Just when we thought this was an unbeatable feat, Rupert managed it as well – as rare as a ‘147’ break or 6 ‘sixes’…
Just a few days to go before his birthday, Derrick Tucker had great success with his advanced driving test and was awarded a F1rst. He has been driving for more years than most of us (at least 65 years behind the wheel, I guess – Ed) and clearly showed us all that senior drivers can…
Jim Holland passed his advanced test with a fantastic result a few days ago. He managed to achieve a score of ‘1’ in all marked categories (consistently above the standard of an advanced driver for the duration of the test), a feat rarely equalled in any test. It was, of course, worthy of a F1rst…
Many congratulations to Xavier Lutaaya-Malokweza who passed the IAM advanced driving test a couple of days ago. As one of the recent adopters of fully electric motoring for advanced driving, Xavier demonstrated the functions of his car with considerable skill. His examiner commented that Xavier “controlled the progress of the car predominantly through acceleration sense…
Many congratulations to Victoria Rackett who had an excellent run with her examiner earlier this week and came home with a F1RST award. To achieve this you must consistently excel in nearly all of the 23 marked categories of the IAM Advanced test and Victoria met the grade with relative ease and plenty of skill,…
Henry Hickman is one of our youngest Associates but he put on a sparkling drive last Friday to impress his Examiner. All scores of ‘1’ except for 2 very minor points, a really creditable performance from a young driver. GAM have a good success record with half their Associates getting a F1RST award, but this…
A Refreshing Experience Most motorists think of themselves as decent drivers, even if it is many years since they were last formally assessed. The recent government proposal to ensure that drivers aged over 70 have their sight tested is arguably a long overdue safeguard for us all, as we know that nothing should be taken…
Georgia Park had a very successful drive with her Examiner yesterday that resulted in her passing her advanced test in style. Her Examiner commented on Georgia being “a confident and experienced driver, and that showed during her drive.” He said “over the prescribed route she drove consistently well, and understands the System of Car Control.…
Congratulations to Paul, GAM’s Membership Secretary, who recently passed his three-yearly Fellow retest, achieving a F1RST again.
