Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
Most of the IAM Roadsmart personnel we come into contact with share our views on matters like these.

They do n...

Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
Speeding is responsible for around 12 deaths each day on UK roads Serious Q, is that actually a fact? Presumably by analysis of STATS19 data? Gov.uk says: "There were an estimated 1,390 reported road deaths in the year ending June 2021" 12 x 365 = 4,380. Hmmm ... I agree, complete nonsens...

No. It was the percentage of drivers in an earlier survey that was described as “chilling “. Not the speed.

Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
Does that not simply make you enablers? Surely without people like you people like them could not exist. Other avenues to "spread the word" are available. Observers don’t “do it for the IAM”. They do it for the associates. They do it to help other drivers gain in confidence and to improve...

Re: It’s chilling that people drive at 81 mph on the motorway – says IAM Roadsmart
Those of us who are IAM members do so at the grass roots level and are involved with local groups where generally the 'old school' views/ideals are still in place.

he introduces this series and does say he'll be advising on emergency service driving assessments along with IAM RoADAR too.
