IAM Fellows commit to a retest every 3 years to the same exacting standards as their original advanced driving test, and Olivier managed to attain F1rst status with a score of &#8216;1&#8217; in all but one of the 23 marked categories.   A very impressive result and a well earned achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His examiner said &#8221; Olivier demonstrated a safe, legal and systematic drive throughout, with speed control within the posted speed limits; on the open roads we made good safe progress. He demonstrated excellent courtesy to other road users including pedestrians and cyclists, and &#8216;spoken thought&#8217; was demonstrated and was at a good standard. This was a very good run today and Olivier obtained a great F1RST result, so well done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olivier was delighted with the result and told us &#8220;I had my test last weekend, on a very sunny day with all sorts of road users out and about. I passed and retained my F1rst, which is great news. Thanks very much for all the support and observed runs from GAM in the build up to my test.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well done Olivier, from all of us at GAM.
