Re: Importance of surprise horizon
Good example, though not sure there's any difference between 'surprise horizon' and 'limit point' at that time. It is very deceptive on the video but the limit point is approximately 25yds. beyond the surprise horizon as the limit point had just started to accelerate away but not the surprise horiz...

Re: Insurance during lockdown
"The current regulations do not refer to essential or non-essential but 'reasonably necessary' for a specific purpose. " Are you stating that it would be a criminal offence to drive for pleasure? Or just that it is contrary to guidelines? The Statutory Instrument 2020 (1200) states... “No...

Re: Empty roads
Getting back to what vanman raised that happened recently when driving a car Observation ;) Vanman said he was ON his Honda with the headlight on. But it was many years ago that vanman was riding his Honda with the light on, not recently. John C is like me. we can't remember what happened many year...

Re: Masternaut in-cab coaching
They don't measure what's important, they make important that which can be measured. They are sold by the mendacious and bought by the gullible, because 'something must be done'. If the manager promoting their use is prepared to penalise workers based solely on this then they're a fool. Brilliant! ...

Re: Speed limiters mandatory from 2022?
Just commented on there. I had replied to your comment there in a similar manner, but I've just removed that post after a reminder from our RSDM that we're posting there on the official IAM Facebook page, and in pointing out our role as observers we're really not towing the corporate line, so a bit...

Re: Speed limiters mandatory from 2022?
And just to add insult to injury, the IAM have come out in full support of this on Facebook... ... Why am I working as an Observer for you and paying to be a member when you come out with rubbish like this? I share your pain. But I have a way of mitigating the frustration, irritation and exasperati...

Re: Hello all
So I would venture to suggest that if there's a real disconnect it's between what IAM appears to offer and what their Examiners expect to see Associates demonstrate on their test. Again with hindsight, had I been made aware that I was expected to drive the test as if I were a Police driver on a &qu...

Re: Hello all
... Driving briskly, in an IAM sense, was/is not what I'm about. I'm not a slow-coach by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm not interested in an extra 5mph around corners or roundabouts - particularly if it means throwing my passengers around the car. Again, I sense that your observer hasn't e...

Re: Hello all
... I didn't mention above, but on my pre-test the observer also felt I should have been driving faster at one point. This was on an unclassified road that I'm not familiar with , with narrow sections, muddy patches at field entrances and blind bends/corners. It was NSL, and I was driving at 40-45m...

Re: Hello all
your pace/speed/progress will naturally rise It shouldn't, any increase in speed should be a conscious decision. Well as you snipped that bit off the front of my quote ;) What I clearly said was "if you get all the aspects of driving to the system working correctly". So conscious decision...
