Welcome to the second edition of Driving Ambition, the e-letter produced specifically for you and your growing band of fellow IAM Associates. Inside you'll find stories on:

• What it means to be an IAM Associate
• The growing danger of young drink drivers
• What you can do to spread the word of road safety
• Tougher penalties for those who phone while driving
• Surviving with satnav

Thank you for the phenomenal response to our first issue, which clearly struck the right chord with most of you. We would welcome feedback on this edition too and look forward to your thoughts on it and what you would like to receive news of in future publications.

Happy motoring!
