Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
I thought to advocate procedurally cancelling the indicator at the aforementioned moment, is not encouraging the driver to use the indicator with intelligence and logic in any situation. I struggle with ' not encouraging the driver to use the indicator with intelligence and logic in any situation '...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
From this, I glean he does not believe there is any benefit of maintaining an activated indicator for the base of the ‘triangle’ manoeuvre when moving to, and whilst on the offside pausing to look down the ‘hypotenuse’. If other drivers or riders can't see your vehicle in the offside position, shou...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
From my point of view, the only time a signal might be necessary in the context of a single carriageway overtake is if a following vehicle is more eager than you to press on.

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking
It reads to me that if a signal is necessary, the indicator should flash for a minimum of four seconds and cancelled prior to moving to the offside. In what circumstances do you think a signal is necessary? If you think it is necessary, how long does it take another road user to see it, understand ...

Re: These shoes are made for walking
She doesn't understand how I can feel the pedals through the rugged soles. Maybe point out that the police seem to manage, given they must wear chunky shoes and still be able to drive to a high standard. FWIW sometimes I used to drive in walking boots, didn't seem unreasonable as they were securely...

Google Streetview of March '21 shows it clearly being a road, with the footpath stopping either side. On the face of it, the council extended the footpath and added one or more steps, possibly to protect people walking 'across' the lane from vehicles coming up the hill.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmmgvnnjgq9o How is that an acceptable response? If it told you to drive over a cliff, would you? I wondered how easy it would be to see there's a step so I looked at Google Streetview - in early June of last year, the step was probably being installed - see http...

Re: Tree accident
I was curious because I've twice been along that road, both times heading east, once driving, the other time navigating. NSL, after sunset, seemingly reasonable road, quite likely raining. Sometimes difficult to spot what you're not expecting.
