1st IAM Associate Advanced Test Pass

[MG57]

Hi.

Bit of self indulgence here

Just thought that seeing that my 1st IAM Associate Chris, passed his IAM Advanced test today I'd crow about it.

Well done Chris, fellow GS rider (1150), top guy, I'm so proud of you, I'm awaiting that online.

Ye ha.

Well done Chris and well done Mark.
When you consider the statistics -
"Motorcycle users account for almost a quarter of all road deaths (22%)... Fatality rates are around 40 to 60 times greater than the equivalent for car users." Source - BikeSafe leaflet, Alert Today ... Alive Tomorrow, Enjoy the Ride.
Anything that can improve upon these scary figures should be welcomed.

Well done to you both. I found that passing the IAM test was one thing but trying to pass on that knowledge to someone else was chuffing hard work. I could see what the associates were getting wrong easily enough, but for the life of me I couldn't put it into words well enough for them to improve much.
If either of the 2 associates I tried to observe about 4 years ago from the Sheffield group are out there I apologise for how rubbish I was. I know at least 1 of you went on to pass with a competent observer. Well done to anyone who can get a handle on observing.

It's a good feeling when an Associate is successful - I hope you get many more of them!

The 1st Asscociate is always the one you remember. The satisfaction on getting them through is great and you will never stop learning.

By the way I am a Senior Observer with Devon Advanced.
