Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
These days I'm wondering where you get long enough straights and little enough traffic to have 4 seconds to indicate before you move offside to look to see if it might be on... Another advanced driving coach pointed out to me that an overtake only takes 4-5 seconds. If you've got that long to be thi...

Oooh, another new standard. "DMAP5 is the ultimate qualification for all road drivers and is the highest measure of driving competence in the UK."

Feels a bit like a solution looking for a problem rather than telling folk to use their eyes? (and taking driving licenses away from folk who can't be bothered to do that).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmmgvnnjgq9o How is that an acceptable response? If it told you to drive over a cliff, would you? (I know that one's been done too :roll: ) Rather than "writing to Apple and Google to ask them to update the maps" why aren't there questions about why driv...
