Be interesting to know how they align between them (given the reputed rivalry between police driving schools, etc.).

Re: https://www.drivingmasters.uk/

"Paul Ripley's Expert Driving" for a read again though. I was disappointed by that book. Had hoped for something more like his articles in the Saturday Telegraph. Especially since the book also input from Supt Peter Amey, who was instrumental in the changes which led to the 1995 Roadcraft...

Re: IAM a Magazine

For some reason the IAM Magazine is getting more and more like the Saga Magazine.

Use the 'Billy Liar' crossing method:

Limp across, one leg rigid, holding up your arm in a 'Stop!' signal. Own the road.

Re: I was just following the satnav...

But if the first vehicle to turn down the steps makes it to the bottom would that confirm that the route is passable and therefore valid? If it makes it (and doesn't require recovery) then, on a yes/no scale, it was passable. However, returning to the 'look where you're going' statement. Have a loo...
