Association of British Drivers (ABD) company profile
Association of British Drivers (ABD): The Association of British Drivers is Britain's foremost campaigning group for drivers. We are a voluntary non-profit making organization funded by subscriptions and donations from members and the public. We receive no funds from the government or from any companies, and so represent the truly independent voice of the driver. The Association is run by volunteers from amongst its membership in their spare time. We have no full-time employees. The ABD was founded in 1992 by our Chairman, Brian Gregory, and a group of fellow drivers from all walks of life and from all parts of the United Kingdom. The objective of the ABD is to provide an active, responsible voice to lobby on behalf of Britain's beleaguered drivers upon many issues, especially those where official policy in recent years has been to discriminate against drivers by means of mis-information, obstruction, restriction, delay, or taxation.
