Are there any additional benefits?
DriveCheck is a driving assessment. This is an ideal way to find out how good your driving really is and how to get a lot more from your driving. If you don't like the thought of taking a driving test then this is the route for you.
Drive check offers a uniquely enjoyable self-learning experience by providing the opportunity to have your driving ability assessed by an IAM observer. Drive check is not , however , a test. there is no pass or fail. If you then would like to continue and learn more you can enrol in the skill for life programme with a discounted enrolment fee.
It's an assessment that follows an accompanied drive, where your observer will comment on and discuss your driving performance with you, offering advice and making recommendations, where appropriate.
The drive is taken in your own vehicle, time and location to be mutually agreed and undertake to produce
a current full driving licence (both parts if a photocard type), held for at lease three months.
a roadworthy vehicle with which to take the assessment
the vehicles current certificate of insurance, or evidence of insurance under a block scheme
an MOT certificate (where applicable)
and declare that your eyesight meets the minimum legal requirements.
please note that the Observer reserves the right to decline to conduct an assessment if any of these conditions is not complied with.
The DriveCheck assessment includes an on-road drive lasting about 40 minutes, plus a one-to-one advice and discussion session with your observer for approximately 20 minutes
