Advanced Motoring Assessment

Hi Richard, yes it was you.  I hope I wasn't too critical--as I wrote at the end, "Overall an interesting experience, and one I might follow up." 

I appreciate the IAM needs to stick to a 'system', however I was interested in what others thought, especially of the failure to change down when approaching a roundabout.  I found an interesting quote from the ROSPA advanced motoring, "you may be required to block change when slowing in order to maintain your flexibility. With too high a gear engaged it can lead to an unacceptable amount of coasting."

The feedback on this forum was quite mild compared to the furore that was unleashed on the Z forum at http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1079

 Derek agree with sentiments.after 40 years of trying to make my perception of Progress, one CAN learn new tricks, IF they are practical!!!!

WE, know from our experience, what is good or otherwise.18 years ago , and with teachings from Excellent Instructors inc pro,s advanced high performance driving, Circuits inc Nurburgring, and Ex Met Officers, who said the shuffle wheel tecnique WAS the Biz.I put all this in to practice one Sunday June morn, on the M25 .Dry, Visability 2-3 Miles, 07-30 ish, light traffic, South Mimms going on Potters Bar.

  IN centre lane, carrageway rising upwards, nothing behind mile back +, and in front rising, 69 MPH =110 KPH LH BMW, reach top of rise on carrage-on Right Eye-Flicker of GREEN shadow-ITS A   CAR-Coming thru a Central reservation So Called Crash barrier- THIS WAS the times of the Gaps in barrier to allow Emergency recovery in case of accidents.IN NANO Milliseconds , I turned the wheel to the left, Hit the Armco on  the Hard shoulder, and a BRIDGE parapit behind it, then went 1/4 of a mile down the road like that ball in PIN -BALL wizard.TOTAL Write OFF.I walked away-Cmon this was a BMW.NOT because we used the Shuffle.( Bet this was recorded as a SPEED related Accident).So-- Derek , I Grant you your Wish, Complementary Course With The Good people Of IAM-say which region is ok for you, I -with our expert Nigel, will arrange your course for you. 1 condition!!! you have to write a short article on your Good or--- adventure.PS--My 2 Jackie Russels are looking out for YOU -DONT even think about it !!!!
