Re: Clarity of Purpose
Other road users are overly engaged with, rather than effectively dispatched. This part feels a little awkward as effective dispatch sometimes isn't far away from a brusque attitude towards other road users. On the other hand I like a certain directness in the manner by which a driver negotiates fi...

Re: Clarity of Purpose
In a training context, that sort of thing can appear when the driver is trying to impress - but doesn't actually know what you want /expect to see. Mentally, they know what they consider [e.g.] 'safe' or acceptable, but are trying to drive to your standards rather than their own. That's an interest...

Re: Hi from Stoke
Hello and welcome. Don't sell the Elise before you've done some training - you'll be able to have fun in the Audi, but probably a lot more in the Lotus.

Re: Bemused
I have this idea that the non-expert driver's gaze settles somewhere not very far in front of their vehicle, and this distance coincides with the stopping distance from roughly 40mph. In other words, at 40mph they'll be able to cope with anything that happens directly in front of them. This explains...
