Re: Books Books Books!
Boing! For anyone who missed it first time around. Also, anyone want to offer them within their club or Group? No need to act as a 'broker', just PM for an email addresses.

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
It struck me later that it could have been a deliberate action, to take some attention / concentration, so that I couldn't focus on 'putting on a show'.

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
Given the potential for severe consequences if it goes wrong, erring on the side of caution - Vs a hurried mistake - has to be better IMO. sometimes I'm not as prepared as I should be I ought to have been more clear about this, thinking the short-hand would be understood; I wasn't paying as much at...
