The Swansea Bay Group of Advanced Motorists (SBGAM) was formed in 1975, and is affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).

SBGAM are one of over 200 UK-wide Groups, and one of just a handful of Welsh Groups, whose aims are to promote the improvement of driving and the advancement of road safety.

Like all other Groups, SBGAM are entirely voluntary, preparing candidates for the IAM's Advanced Driving Test. As a Group, we also have an active membership who enjoy safe driving, and partake in a number of social activities throughout the year.

As well as an active social calendar, we have monthly meetings in the Trallwn Community Centre in Swansea on the last Thursday of (almost) every month. The meetings usually last for about 2 hours, and as well as discussing activities of the Group, we often have guest speakers. A full diary of events and forthcoming speakers can be found on our Events page.

On the second Sunday of each month we meet in the Asda car park in Llansamlet for our Assessment drives with new and potential Associates. Although any new driver is welcome to come along to these Sunday meetings, we would be grateful if you would contact the Observer Coordinator so that we can ensure you are allocated an Observer on the day.

As with most Groups in the UK, we only cater for car drivers. If you are interested in passing your Advanced Driving Test with a motorcycle, LGV, PCV, minibus or for the Caravan Towing Test, please contact the IAM directly for a Group near you. Alternatively, contact us and we will try to help you find a local Group.
