The Alliance of British Drivers

Driving Sense

The independent voice for drivers

Founded in 1992, the Alliance of British Drivers is the leading organisation promoting the interests and concerns of drivers in the United Kingdom.

The UK has over 37 million drivers — that is a majority; we should stop tolerating the way we are treated by the government and local councils.

Cars, vans and taxis account for 80% of the mileage of all trips in the UK, and over 65% of goods being carried by road. The road network, and the people who use it, are of vital importance to the nation’s economy.

Drivers should expect the road network to be improved, and maintained to a standard that is fit for purpose. They should be able to use the roads in a safe and responsible manner without being subject to unreasonable charges, restrictions or penalties.

Some of the issues affecting drivers that we campaign on:
