Re: Where's Panda
I saw this before it was cool /hipster. I found it within 5 seconds, as did my wife. I never considered it to be any more difficult than we found it but clearly people are struggling. The difference between this and observation while driving is that people are a least looking for the panda, rather t...

It must be exhaustion, but I found this far funnier than I should have.

Re: Getting Started/Putting it into practise!
Once you have 'seen' what you need to do, give yourself more time and space than you think you need to do it. Assuming you are slowing for a corner, to get the speed off early and smoothly means both tapering on and off the brakes. To begin with, coming off the brakes smoothly can take a long time a...

Re: Books on race driving techniques
I had Ross Bentley recommended to me by an instructor at the Porsche centre at Silverstone.
He said it was a good starting point as it covers all of the basics and is a good gateway to more in depth books on specific topics.
I dont get to read it until Christmas so cant comment on it personally.

Im not sure there is any need to call them peasants. Then again it'll get her more clicks.

Re: Roundabout 450?
I'd suggest that would be more suited to using the hard shoulder when a motorway is at a standstill, only because I don't want it to be true for this example. Also, I wouldn't call it selfish, impatient or aggressive, just logical, Mr. Spock. Although, "Sorry officer, I didn't know which exit I...

Re: Roundabout 450?
I do it almost every time I drive home from work. I'm sure none of the people in the 'left' lane even notice. I call it using forward observation and advanced planning to make progress. Others would call it 'cheating'. It's like driving all the way down the merging lane at a merge in turn, rather th...
