Re: Hello from West Sussex
Thanks, Alasdair I have no excuse for the speed. I knew the limits and didn't manage to stick to them. It was icy this morning and maybe I was relying on gears to slow down further, rather than braking firmer before the gear change. The right hand bends have never been an issue for me before today....

Re: Hello from West Sussex
Thank you for your positive comments.

On my last observed drive, my Observer was being observed by another (higher) Observer, who I will call Tina. I met Tina when I had first joined the group and she took me on my first drive. O...

Re: Hello from West Sussex

The reasons are: I crept over the speed limit twice (once on a 40mph dual carriageway, and once in a 30mph) I was using the gears to slow down, after I had braked and selected the appropriate gear. My road positioning on right h...
