PCC Mark Shelford supported Weston & Mendip Advanced Motorists' Group in the launch of their Young Advanced Driver (YAD) initiative after the organisation received funding from Avon and Somerset Police Road Safety Fund.
The Weston & Mendip Advanced Motorists' Group was formed in 1983 to improve the standard of driving in North Somerset and the surrounding area, and is affiliated to the charity IAM RoadSmart. The group provides driving advice and guidance through its team of volunteer observers to help drivers improve their concentration, observation and planning skills, which improves their overall safety on the roads.
