Re: Off-siding

In the IAM seminar a few days ago this was clarified. They did not consider straight lining through an S bend when both sides can be seen to be clear as a miss use of offsiding, and would be acceptable. `To offside on the approach to a left hand bend where it is not fully open, ie full view on the n...

Re: Greetings

I’m very pleased to see that comments in my introductory post have inspired such well thought out criticisms, sometimes in favour of commentary but I think on balance, more often opposed. I will certainly be taking all of these thoughts on board making me already glad I joined the forums. Will I co...

Re: Greetings

Welcome to the forum. Good you have found it of interest.There are many very experienced drivers here. We have been trying to get back to meeting up for drives together. I think "martine" slipped up on a recent ADHUB driving day by saying he might soon be organising one, probably based on ...

Re: New Members.

Yes, I agree with that approach. The test requirements don't mean - hopefully - that nothing else can be covered. But ... how much time and input does "how to be the best driver they can be" take? For some, it could probably be years? And, along the way, you'll presumably include all the ...

Re: Forum Names

Just use my name as Gareth does. On other forums I usually use jcreiki or johnreiki. A nod to one of a number of healing modalities I'm qualified in. To be honest they're basically all the same thing..channelling energy.

Re: Young Drivers (again)

U17 Car Club is excellent having had the opportunity, as others on here, to drive with young drivers who came through the club. I strongly believe you can't be too young to start learning. Even as a small child you can learn so much from a good driver just by watching but as waremark points out the ...

Re: 20 limits - 'the facts'...

They forgot: • Most people will ignore them as completely inappropriate. Not what happens in London, most people now observe them. Cameras may be set at 24, so unwise to exceed 23. I drive in London every week day, that's not my experience. People only drive slowly due to congestion, if there's no ...
