Re: Masters - Journalist failed, then passed
"One was his lack of use of what is effectively the Hendon Shuffle - always stopping on the rear brake then swapping feet. There are of course many instances when this is impossible or inadvisable, and to cite this as a fail seems ridiculous. Sometimes descriptions leave out important detail ....

Re: Bought a new Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic
See the number of people who blindly follow sat nav instructions without applying common sense first... :bash: I'm not convinced that's a fair summation; I wonder if this only becomes an issue when drivers are already feeling under a lot of pressure, then succumb to the 'authority' of the automated...

Re: M1 Minibus "Accident"
It may well be over simplistic, however it doesn't alter the fact that we have a finite amount of brain power and if it's being used for one thing it can't be used for something else.

Re: M1 Minibus "Accident"
Do police officers ever use mobile phones while they are driving? Argumentum ad verecundiam , and a weak one at that. In particular, congitive bias . To answer the question: they probably do.
