We are delighted to announce that Dr Ian Greenwood has been appointed as the new Patron of the ADINJC.

A Warm Welcome from the Chairman, Stewart Lochrie.

“I am delighted to welcome Dr Ian Greenwood as the new Patron of the ADINJC.

I met Ian at the Driving Instructors Convention last year, and was instantly impressed by the way he delivers his messages on road safety. He is persuasive and eloquent, and I have nothing but admiration for the role he has taken on following the death of his daughter in a road crash in 2008.

I look forward to working closely with him to raise both industry and public awareness of the need for continual improvement and education on the subject of road safety.”

Driving Instructors will be able to hear Ian speak at the ADINJC Scottish Conference on Sunday 17th May 2026.

Looking Ahead with ADINJC

Ian remains deeply curious and concerned about how road safety policies in the UK are made, delayed, or sometimes ignored, despite the continuing toll of death and serious injury on our roads.

Driving instructors play a vital role in shaping safer behaviour among novice drivers and have the potential to make a lasting, positive difference for everyone who uses our roads. Ian is eager to learn from, support, and collaborate with ADIs across the country in pursuit of that shared goal.

We are honoured to welcome Dr Ian Greenwood and look forward to working closely with him to strengthen road safety awareness, education, and advocacy across the profession and beyond.
