Nice to assist @bwamgroup with their open event this morning. Great mix of bikes and riders but shared passion to be better & more skilled. Nice to chat with @ShaunCronin841

Over 40 Observers and two guests met in Tiverton for a successful weekend of Observer training. IAM RoadSmart ASDM’s gave a presentation which allowed the opportunity to answer any questions from an Assessor’s perspective. Read the full story here - iamroadsmart.net/3nIsYJ7

Good Friday was a good Friday for two @bwamgroup candidates this morning as both passed their @IAMRoadSmart bike tests despite the holiday traffic. The sun even shone on their efforts and both left smiling.

If you have ever considered signing up to @IAMRoadSmart advanced rider course but don’t know what’s involved in passing the test, why not pop along to @bwamgroup club night on 20th at the Cobham Social Club, BH21 3DA and I’ll try to explain it all to you.
