Re: These shoes are made for walking

She doesn't understand how I can feel the pedals through the rugged soles. Maybe point out that the police seem to manage, given they must wear chunky shoes and still be able to drive to a high standard. Mine arn't that chunky, and surprisingly comfy, but still not what i'd choose to wear for drivi...

Any idea what proportion of Masters Mentors are examiners?


No idea what the official number would be, but one of our local examiners is always keen to help people prep for masters. I suspect that'll be the case in other areas too

Re: The Silence

I think that a part of the problem is that there is a general decrease in an interest in driving let alone advanced driving… Indeed. Since covid, numbers have dropped off a cliff.. I teach the quarterly intro seminars for our group, and pre-covid it wasn't unusual to have 25-30 new associates atten...

Re: latest speed cameras

Case in point, stopped someone recently for no insurance.

They claimed they'd not been in trouble for anything previously.

Ran the licence, and they already had 6 points for no insurance from last November.

Go figure..

Re: An interesting, if unsettling, development.

I don’t have a dashcam, though I’ve been tempted. A non-negotiable requirement for me would be that it could be positioned in such a way as to not impede my own vision in the slightest and in fairness, most purpose-built dashcams seem to be designed with that in mind. Indeed. I do have both front a...

Re: An interesting, if unsettling, development.

About the only upside is the police being swamped by so many reports they can't possibly process them all. And hopefully owners of such devices will be prosecuted when they inevitably speed themselves (find me a driver who /never/ speeds). Afterall, if catching bad driving is so important, why shou...
