Oops did I mishear re his description of hand signals? Hand rotating surely for turning left not slowing. Hand up and down for slowing not turning left. I'm sure he really knows and it was just a slip up.

Watched this last night. All seemed good. The righthand bend early turn in is common on motorcycles too. I was told once "the verge has never been known to move".

He mentioned your position could be a signal to others but never mentioned the dangers of going left too early because of cars parked on the right. This can be an invitation for oncoming vehicles to try and squeeze through.

AKA 'the dying swan' :)
Your 'standard' is how you drive alone, not how you drive during a test.
