Please add my name to your web site if it helps other OAPs to take the test.   I know some of my friends are &#8220;good&#8221; drivers but at our age it is a step up to work for the IAM test.   But no doubt there are many people of my age quite capable to achieve passing.  I look forward to continue supporting GAM as a full member and thank them for all the help given to me over the last 6 months.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert absorbed all the advice of GAM Observers and his Examiner, and put it all into practice.   His examiner said &#8220;Robert displayed good knowledge around pre drive checks.\u00a0 Starting off procedures were safe and well considered.\u00a0 Steering was accurate and well controlled throughout the drive.  Forward observations were consistently of a good standard.  This allowed time to develop a drive plan to negotiate every hazard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He delivered a safe and legally compliant advanced standard of drive. I am delighted that he has passed his Advanced Driver Test today. This is well deserved and many congratulations!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well done Robert from all at GAM &#8211; all your efforts, support, and good humour are appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Gravett has been driving for a number of years (he has said we can reveal he is now 82) and he has just passed his advanced test with a great report from his Examiner.
