Re: A few more videos

Passing Horses - Dealing with horses it not difficult. Slow down and give them plenty of space. Or even stop to let them pass. That's a bit difficult if they are going the same way as you ;) Stopping is a double edged sword. I don't want to put myself in extra danger, though my mates would cop it f...

A few more videos

The sun has showed it face this week, so while I continued to ride all through winter, it hasn't been videoing weather. I did a bit of filming Tuesday while leading a 100 mile (200 mile round trip) social ride with a few mates. I've included the video descriptions from YouTube as embedding here does...

Re: The Crash Detectives

Thanks.

Wondered how I'd missed this in the schedules. Then I saw it is/was only on BBC Wales.

Have set the recorder to series record. It says 4 parts, so we will see.

Re: Bought a new Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic

I wouldn't be asking for it to be enabled. I'd be asking for the vehicle to have the features you ordered. The wording of your email sounds like YOU got it wrong, rather than not receiving what you discussed and believed you'd ordered. Never show any weakness or lack of conviction in your correspond...

Surely that IS the point. ;)

The display gives a visual version, that you can see, of the real world IR, that you can't. Things like nice warm bodies dressed in black.

Re: M1 Minibus "Accident"

It's true, mental commentary is much easier they a vocalised one. It's also true that different people are able to do a vocal one more or less easily than others. Maybe down to the way each individual's brain is wired? I hadn't considered the workload to filter the commentary before. It just seems t...

Re: Insurance again.

Presumably the car was insured for SD&P when not teaching and you drove it between lessons? I don't see how your NCD is void, unless you only had a business only insurance for the car. Direct Line were happy to have my learner daughter on my wife's car/policy. The issue may be that your niece is...

Re: M1 Minibus "Accident"

The difference with commentary and other mental exercises is that commentary is related to the task of driving. That's why it is possible and beneficial. (See the other current topic about pointing out/describing each sign). Describing how to drive a different road to one you are on would be much mu...

Re: Bought a new Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic

I read an article some time back which largely related to speed limit signs; how they cannot be understood by these systems was I believe something to do with the coating or dressing on them. Algae? :( :evil: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6i9YJFSyxDk/V1MWtz5ZjlI/AAAAAAAACMI/CBVIJvwhobo9cDFNQJfaMVRn8X0...

L Plates

These are being plugged on various channels of social media today, as a solution to a problem I'm not sure exists.

Your thoughts on legality, safety?

Made me think of this Meme I saw the other day.
