Re: Highway Code Review for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders

The revised Highway Code and road user hierarchy are going well, then :roll: Has anything changed in reality? :bike: :car: I do see more vehicles letting peds cross. I do see more peds expecting to be let across I do see vehicles leting people cross in the wrong places. :headbang: I do let peds cro...

Re: Driver Instructor 'teaching' cycling

Seems he has now taken cycle training to be an instructor.

In another video he has said he has a motorcycle.

He now has a separate cycling channel. He still has some strange ideas about 2 wheels. I do occasionally challenge some things he says but it just gets lost in the bulk of the comments.

Re: Driving with DSG

LOL @ JonT :D It wasn't entirely in jest, it was one of the reasons I bought my first auto. And then you can transfer the skill to LFB in a manual... :D Need to watch out as many modern autos will go into limp mode at any hint of throttle and brake. I know from karting you WILL end up pressing both...

Re: Driving with DSG

Hopefully it won't be like the VTec VFR800 where the power could change mid-bend! It really doesn't matter with a DCT. The power never drops out. The way the two clutches change/blend the transition from one gear to another means continuous power/drive. Think of a quick shifter on a bike on steroid...

Re: Driving with DSG

We're getting a car with a DSG auto box. Any hints, tips, thoughts on using it? :confused: [Other than "Just stick it in 'Drive"', which would be my default :) ] What make/model is it? Some have dry clutches, others wet. Whichever you should avoid sitting in gear with the handbrake on (es...

Re: Motorcycle videos

I really admire your dedication to posting your videos and asking for comments. Thanks. I enjoy the production process. Some generate discussion here and elsewhere, others produce nothing. Their main purpose though is for use with my IAM Associates (getting them to watch specific ones as homework b...

Re: Motorcycle videos

Something a little different this time. The riding footage has been speeded up x3. Effectively giving riding speeds of 0 to 180mph, to display the smooth way that road position should blend and not jump or be jerky. The 'chipmunk' is the SatNag lady at hypersonic speed :lol:

Re: Motorcycle videos

There are often arguments about view, safety, etc. that may influence your decision which leg to take. The van in my clip got stuck because going the way he did the angle is horrible, and many are like that. I genuinely intersted if anyone has any legal reason why the van couldn't have turned before...
