Re: Cameras should automatically fine drivers who go more than 10mph over the limit

This is just another example of the sort of silly click-bait nonsense that the IAM seems to believe raises their profile in the eyes of the general public. It doesn’t. Joe Public doesn’t bother to read any of this guff. All it does is irritate the relatively small number of the membership that happ...

Re: Comments from ADI...

However, his point was that if you are needing the overtake time and some contingency then an additional second would often put the overtake out of contention. That could be seen as considerably more risky! Not sure I follow. "if needing more time puts the overtake out of contention' we would ...

Re: Comments from ADI...

As I'm not a first responder on a job I don't feel the need to have to overtake. Happy to take it if 100% happy with the overtake otherwise not bothered to wait for something better to develop. For me, in the dry, I think of 2 seconds as the very closest distance to be to another vehicle and normall...

Re: Comments from ADI...

Intriguing, he makes a big thing of 2 seconds separation, yet is closer than that tailing the second car. When he decides to go he doesn't have a view in front of the car he is overtaking (which he would gain from moving laterally to the right), and he is already accelerating and committed before h...

Re: Comments from ADI...

Mmmm, can't share your views, Tom about following at less than two seconds, at one point, and less than a second, in another, or your explanation to justify. As regards to Ashley I am not a fan. Although disagreeing sometimes on some of his comments on his videos it is his manner I don't like and th...

Apologies for not replying sooner. A matter of a heart attack intervened. I hope not yours, and also hope that the outcome was as good as it could be.

Re: Motorcycle videos

It's marginal but also my head/eyes are much higher. Do you have a particular one where this appears to happen as I'm always interested in feedback and analysis? Apologies for not replying sooner. A matter of a heart attack intervened. The white van overtake looked OK the other overtakes gave the i...
