IAM Masters Demo Drive

I passed my IAM RoadSmart Masters assessment on the morning of 13 April 2025—and filmed a relaxed follow-up drive that same afternoon.

This is a real-time, start-to-finish run from cockpit drill to continuous commentary on observation links, anticipation, planning, systematic approaches, and limit points. It isn’t perfect; it’s simply the sort of drive I hope other advanced-test candidates could find useful.

I can go months without driving while I’m at university. Capturing a drive means I’ve got a nice video to return to — and it lets me share real-world examples of systematic driving, observation links and forward planning with anyone working toward their own advanced qualification.
