Mansfield Group of Advanced Motorists
IAM Roadsmart Official Provider - We make better drivers and riders

Advanced Driving Magazine

Thanks to everyone who has brought in their old copies of Advanced Driving to help with our publicity efforts. As you know, we're currently doing a great job in this area, and have several new associate members joining us every month.

Library

As we've had quite a few copies of the magazine donated, I've kept back a wide range of back issues to make a start on a library of resources that club members can access; I'll be bringing this to guidances and meetings, so if anyone wants to have another look at an old copy of Advanced Driving then they are available for group members to borrow.

This may be especially valuable to new members as these publications contain a range of useful tips on advanced driving, and yet I know that some of our recent new members have passed their tests before they have received a single issue of Advanced Driving.

Index of Magazine Contents

To help you find that article that you remember reading in Advanced Driver a few months or years ago, but just can't remember which one it was in, we've put together an index of the main features of each issue. Please have a scan through and see if there's anything that you would like to re-visit.

Or maybe this list will give you some ideas for things that we might discuss in more detail at a group meeting one day; if that's the case then please forward your ideas to the Group Social Organiser.
