I agree with you,Gareth, it is probably the best option. I'm also finding that the lack of proper signals and poor positioning also makes creeping out the more safe way of entering the roundabout these days.

Does anybody think they enter bends too quickly? I did. At one time our stressed friend did. In my case probably coming from an excess of exuberance and optimism, coupled with not paying enough attention to the important thing of the moment. I knew it from having to untidily fix it up, and from wif...

I haven't read the whole of this thread in detail so apologies if this has already been covered. There is one simple rule when it comes to speed. Only drive up to a speed that allows you to stop comfortably on the tarmac available to stop on. The "risk" from speed alone will then be zero. ...

Ive been pleasantly surprised over the last 2 months. Ive driven half a dozen times to Covent Garden and a third of the journey is in a 20 limit the rest 30 limit.

I do hope you are wrong about the group funds. The money is not theirs but belongs to the members. I thought that if the group were to dissolve then funds had to be returned to the members. Although in our case we would still continue what we are doing but without the interference of the IAM. It wo...

To expand on this we have been looking into whether to switch to RoADA or alternatively become independent and recommend the RoDA test for those that would like a test. An interesting thought. What would be the advantage of being independent rather than affiliated to RoSPA? With affiliation you wou...

So for all you folk that can't bring yourselves to leave the IAM, what's stopping you setting up an alternative organisation? Is there some magic legal protection IAM has? Marketing?
