(‘allow running script or ActiveX controls’ if you want to view the active masthead)

Whether you are a newly qualified driver/rider or have many years experience would you like to improve your driving/riding skills, be safer on the road and reduce your chances of having an accident? Maybe you would like your driving/riding to be more relaxed and enjoyable so that you can confidently handle the variety of situations that you come across.

We promote road safety by providing Advanced Driving and Riding courses throughout Dumfries and Galloway.

We offer an Associate Membership Scheme whereby Associate Members receive guidance to enable them to become a better driver/rider. By the end the Associate should be able to take, and pass, the Institute Of Advanced Motorists’ Advanced Driving/Motorcycling Test.

New members are always welcome, we encourage participation from young and old at all levels of experience. We recognise that greater skills in driving and riding lead to more enjoyment as well as increased safety.

We also meet socially every month between September and June on the second Monday of each month. Meetings are held in the Dalston House Hotel, Laurieknowe, Dumfries, or at a pre-arranged venue elsewhere.

If you are interested in improving your skills, then why not find out how we can help? You can read about the experiences of some of our Associates or take a look below at what the Group President has to say. You can also e-mail or call the Secretary (07707 035518) - it’s a ‘Skill for Life’.
