Best wishes all,
Dave - just as laid back (and unhelpful) as ever.
Unfortunately other peoples oddities often have an adverse affect on us.

Yes of course; but we have to learn to deal with them. I just don't think it's worth spending a lot of time trying to understand why they do what they do.
Best wishes all,

Whilst giving a driving lesson to a pupil this afternoon in and around the Poole area in order to gain experience of busier town traffic, it was noticable how many drivers tailgate. As experienced drivers it is easy to deal with, but for a learner who doesn't have a great deal of larger town experience it is very intimidating. Of course the answer to the problem is to allow yourself extra space and keep the eyes scanning to make planning easier, resulting in unhurried actions, but when felling pressured, that's easier said than done, as the feeling of threat invokes the fight or flight response.
