MEP takes Institute of Advanced Motorists Assessment
I first heard of the IAM after entering a Woman Driver of the Year competition arranged by the IAM and the Women's Institute in the 1993. I won the Western region heat and came thirteenth in the national finals. If I was able to do that, I thought, why not take the official test? I went on to have four observation runs in my Volvo estate with a local police officer, Dave Cherrington of Thames Valley police. It is very important to me to keep up my driving skills. Since I was elected as a Member of the European Parliament for South East England last year, I've had less time to drive, so I work hard to guard against bad habits creeping in!
