Sorry, are you referring to DVSA?

Also, commentary will take away some concentration from the driving task.

Triquet wrote:Interesting point John. I am not sure that the "examples" of commentary bandied about are actually that helpful. They seem to suggest that the driver is required to provide a full running commentary in full grammatical sentences whereas surely it is sufficient to make fairly short and cryptic observations followed by appropriate actions. Surely it is sufficent to just say "horse" and react appropriately rather than blather on "I see a horse and rider on my side of the road, I will slow down and move to the offside of the road taking care to have a final glance in my mirror to ensure that I am not been mown down by a loony from astern" ... by which time you have hit the horse.

Quite daft in my view.

I had the 'transmit' button on the radio stick 'on' one day, so had to talk continuously for about 10 minutes (otherwise trainee would have had amplified wind noise broadcast to his ear). Trainee said it was really useful knowing what I had seen and was reacting to.
