The Alliance of British Drivers is a voluntary and non-profit-making organisation whose aim is to provide an active, responsible voice to lobby for Britain's beleaguered drivers.
We campaign upon a wide range of driving issues, completely independent of any vested interest. We are not afraid to tackle government or councils who so often see drivers as a cash cow to be milked at will.
The ABD was formed to fight for the interests of the everyday motorist — in other words most of us. UK drivers are some of the most heavily taxed in the world, and yet we have one of the worst road networks in the western world and suffer more from traffic congestion than the residents of almost all other countries. In addition, road safety policy, environmental strategy, and planning laws have become dominated by "anti-car" factions who do not represent the voice of the general public.

Birmingham Advanced Motorcyclists are the Birmingham motorcycling branch of the IAM, one of the largest IAM bike groups in the country, currently with over 300 members.
The club's primary objective is improving the standard of riding of its members, although there is also an active social scene and lots of rides out just for fun.
This site can tell you when and where the club meets, when there are organised group rides, what social activities are planned, how to join and a download of the club bi-monthly newsletter.
If you ride a bike, be it just for fun at the weekend, or every day, you can improve your riding style and safety with the help of BAM.
All other sites dedicated to long distance riding seem to have the same format - they prescribe a set of limited distance/time requirements based on outdated and easily circumvented evidence which you either pass or fail. Options are generally limited to doing more of the same in less time, and paying a premium for a certificate to recognise the fact.
We aim to do things differently; to be far more inclusive in how we do things and far more wide ranging in the types of motorcycle rides we recognise.We work on the basis of recognising challenges you have set for yourself. You decide on the parameters for these rides, examples might include:
Riding from Dover to Durness within 24 hours
Visiting 50 castles in a year
Visiting every motorcycle racing circuit with a group of mates
Riding a moped from one side of the country to the other
Completing a particular rally/ challenge which does not issue a certificate
Visiting as many branches of Tesco's as you can in 12 hours (the 'UKgser' option' :))
We will ask for evidence of your ride - this may be through online recording, photographs, GPS tracks and/or receipts.
Coventry & Warwick Advanced Motorcyclists is a local group affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Motorists. We promote safe riding by assisting motorcyclists to develop their skills. Riders are encouraged to maintain their standards, sustain their interest and enjoy the company of a group of like-minded people who simply want to get the most out of biking.
The group offers a full calendar of social events to enjoy and a ready supply of new friends to meet.
With over 35 year’s experience providing post-test further training, Essex Advanced Motorcyclists' Group has successfully trained hundreds of riders who have achieved nationally recognised qualifications. We are passionate about the quality of our riding and training; it’s in our DNA.
Motorcycling should always be FUN. You’ll seldom see a car driver go for a drive just for pleasure; bikers take every opportunity to enjoy the thrill of the open road come rain or shine. Yes, riding in the rain can be FUN! Modestly powered bikes will outperform most cars, more powerful bikes are in another league but need the skill to ride them well.
We’ve all seen riders struggling, poor positioning and tension hindering their progress. It doesn’t have to be this way. Whether you’re new to biking or ridden for years but want to be the best you can, we can help you. We’ll take your riding skills to a level as high as you want to go. Your riding will begin to flow, you’ll feel more relaxed and make better progress with an increased margin of safety.
Not sure? Why not come along and meet us. All age groups are welcome, whatever you ride. Take a free assessment of your riding, further training really is FUN.

Our story
Back in 1997, a group of ex-racers who had moved on to become police riders, decided that there was a serious need for a fresh approach to rider development. Their heritage, both on the race circuits and as vastly experienced police riders, giving them a unique perspective on how to help riders reach their full potential.
Knowing that riders learn best when they are enjoying themselves, they evolved their own, relaxed, no-nonsense approach to coaching. No formality, no student and instructor bibs, just passionate riders being coached by the most highly qualified professionals in the business – and having fun.
Now, with over twenty years experience achieving top class results, Rapid has earned industry acclaim and is the go-to supplier for professional riders including MCN, Bike and KTM teams. With industry-leading products, we offer by far the most comprehensive and advanced rider coaching available in the UK.
We are a group of motorcyclists with a passion for getting on our bikes and riding whenever we can.
Our IAM trained observers form the core of RAMG and are available to ride with you, assess your ride and help you to achieve a high standard of roadcraft.
Upon joining us you will be allocated an observer to help you work through the IAM Advanced Rider Course, leading to an advanced riding test on a variety of roads.

Staying ahead of the pack needs new ways to think about riding!
Technical riding ability alone does not significantly reduce rider risk and it's not just inexperience riders who crash. Skilled riders also come to grief in corners, at junctions and overtaking when basic get-out-of trouble techniques would have saved them if they'd predicted what was about to go wrong.
The SURVIVAL SKILLS approach is to apply 'insight training', helping riders predict how, where and why things go wrong, and to avoid the common crashes. We can avoid making mistakes ourselves, and know-how to avoid someone else's.
Cities, rural lanes, touring, sport riding, commuting...
...whatever the riding challenge, SURVIVAL SKILLS is the answer.
