It's not mine but I do like it. I'm a self-beater-upper and a serial mind replayer so it seemed apt lol. :lol:

It reminded me of what the examiner said, he said I'm not looking for mistakes, I'm looking for repeated faults, in the system of car control.

With a F1rst you mustn't have had any. Congrats again. 8-)

Thanks. One of my faults is turning in to early on right hand bends, I think it may have something to do with my biker days. :o

Presumably Silk suggests a little more focus on congratulations on a great achievement, as opposed to how much further there is to travel:

"Well done the start of a long enjoyable journey"

As it happens, the OP seems keen to travel further.

I did consider he might mean that. Given I'm one of the people suggesting the OP treat it as the beginning not the end of his AD journey, and I only started RoSPA/RoADAR last week, I don't see the problem. It's hardly 'beneath me' when I haven't even got it yet. :lol:

For the vast majority of people who take IAM or Rospa tests obtaining a First or Gold is the height of their ambition. It is only a tiny minority, well represented here, who pursue some sort of virtuoso motoring Nirvana. As it happens, Masters is encouraging more people along this path.
