Re: What would you do?
I'm with Nick on this one. If you scroll back and take the veiw just before the black and white posts you will notice the tree on the right obscures the view. You would not see a vehicle exiting the bend and accelerating into the straightening road.

Re: Learners - motorways, night, bad weather
But the point is that in those conditions some A roads will be as bad... And if they are legal now there is little reason to exclude motorways... Alasdair Nail / head. This is why I don't like the proposal for only ADIs to be allowed to take learners on motorways - aside from my concerns for the lo...

Re: Where's Panda
Rather than looking for a panda, maybe its a case of good observation to rather look for a lack of carrot? :D I like to think I am fairly good with observing. I seem to have a knack for seeing impending doom. I was following a car on a fairly big main road 30 limit the other day, and he started to ...

Re: Learners - motorways, night, bad weather
It's a tough one this, how to prepare learners for all the conditions they will meet. It's very obvious the present regime does not. Perhaps it's time for an enterprising company, possibly one currently producing flight simulators, to produce a driving simulator that can provide experience of all d...

It's an art, making mistakes seem genuine.
Trust me, I'm skilled in making mistakes.
What, like this?

Re: Learners - motorways, night, bad weather
Whilst I do not believe that the current driving test is fit for purpose, I also do not believe that adding a Motorway requirement to the test is the right place to start. There are elements of everyday driving missing from the test that are far more important than Motorways. IMO, night driving and...

Re: Learners - motorways, night, bad weather
I rarely see driving school cars driving totally inappropriately on busy roads (there are mistakes of course, but overall progress is acceptable), but private learners can be very different. Followed one a few weeks back on the B3347 from Ringwood to Avon (Nigel/fungus will probably know the road) ...
