Re: Lighting...
automatic lights I find, when they're shining in my direction, they rather too often don't dip quickly enough. I mean, when they do dip it's very quick, but that the point at which they should dip can be well before that point at which they do. I've found that some oncoming headlights dip amazingly...

Any idea what proportion of Masters Mentors are examiners?

Re: Driving at Night
1. If you allowed yourself to drive faster as a consequence of the improved view from main beam then the moment you had to dip, by definition, you’d be driving too fast. I think this line of argument pre-supposes that the driver doesn't slow down for potential hazards and is using main beam always ...

Re: Driving to the conditions?
The hazard perception test includes the concept of a developing hazard but, as experienced drivers, we know that the roots of a developing hazard can often be spotted before they become sufficiently developed for the developing hazard as tested. We see someone at the side of the road, irrespective o...

Late at night. Deep into foliage, out of sight. No obvious...

Re: Highway Code Review for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders
The situation may be helped by the excellent, and constantly evolving, road network. Probably also helped by the much lower population density, possibly a close enough indicator of relative traffic density. The UK has almost three times as many people per unit of area. Maybe it's better to compare ...

Re: Driving with DSG
Stick it in Drive until you get used to the feel, then never ever use Drive again, (except when in slow moving traffic).

Re: Roundabouts, routeboards and lane choice
Welcome. I'd be curious as to if there's a general approach folks like to use with these sorts of roundabouts. Agree with the aim of never being alongside or, at least, minimising time in overlap. I remember StressedDave was very particular about that. Beyond that and unless there is explicit inform...
