Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

Is 'overtaking' the lateral movement, passing the other vehicle (s), or both actions?

If both, then surely 'intention to overtake' still applies during the lane change and closing up?

... a quickly catching vehicle ... to let the other person know what I'm intending. If they've chosen to ignore it, I've bidden my time but, if there is a sign they're willing to wait for me to get on with it, then I've felt free to cancel the indicator and move out so that I can see if it's safe t...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

It's interesting of some stuff just doesn't translate. Paul Ripley used to write really good articles for the Telegraph. Superintendent Peter Amey was a driving force (pun intended) behind the 1995 rewrite of Roadcraft. Together, they wrote a book. I found it underwhelming at best. Please stick arou...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

These days I'm wondering where you get long enough straights and little enough traffic to have 4 seconds to indicate before you move offside to look to see if it might be on... Another advanced driving coach pointed out to me that an overtake only takes 4-5 seconds. If you've got that long to be th...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

But how can we deem whether an indicator is of ‘benefit’? Can't remember who / where, but someone, somewhere ... Along the lines of 'if there is anyone present who might benefit, or someone could appear who might' eg Turning off, major to minor. No traffic ahead, behind, oncoming. No-one waiting to...

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...

Re: https://www.drivingmasters.uk/

They do, though less police experience and more chauffeur / corporate training than I expected - but then I suspect that however they pitch it that is where the money is... (c.f. IAM) Yup.
