The camera is not as good as my eyes with the shadows. I was happy with plenty of forward view up the right hand side of the van and I could have come in sooner if necessary ... BUT a valid point about being wary of the shadows.

I appreciate you have a much better view in being able to see over car but, I wonder, if the point of commitment is sometimes earlier than you intend.
See my reply to Akirk above. An adjustment to be made for the future.

I doubt I'd make such a good showing if I recorded my driving overtakes ...
Thanks. It would be good to see more on here post videos of their riding/driving. The camera does lie a bit, but it's always good to see (hear) what others do.
