If candidates could use those techniques well and to their advantage, I would be delighted. Unfortunately it's rare even to see rev-matching attempted.

The IAM does not employ its examiners. We are volunteers, just as Observers are.

Soon it's not going to be Mike Quinton's problem, so I'd look to the trustees for longer term guidance.

And what is the cat amongst?

There's an IMI-validated examiners' qualification now, too. I took it alongside my quality assurance check last year.

Grrrrrump...!

For the benefit of this discussion passim, "licence" is a noun, and "license" is a verb.

As well you know, the sign qualifies the road markings. Thank goodness you aren't having to deal with the driving around irreligious shrines!

When the conditions for which you bought the tyres prevail, would you choose to have more grip at the front axle or the rear?

David

My point exactly. If that was what went wrong!

Or perhaps it did pick up the barrels, but if it only did so once it was committed past the heavy, hitting them was its best option?

David

not all IAM examiners keep a strict eye on speedos during safe overtaking manoeuvres. To clarify, the guidance to examiners says, "candidates cannot plan to exceed the speed limit" [my emphasis]. In Tom's case, it seems clear that exceeding the speed limit was not part of his driving plan...
