Booking a driving test

[Drago]

Google it. If I recall correctly they have an acronym to prepare for it and by the time youve worked through that in your mind you're in the hedge.

Questionable if its appropriate for a civilian driving at sensible velocities with a careful approach, but the Inbred Adenoidal Maniacs put more emphasis on "making progess" than RoSPA tend to. Handy for maintaining velocity, saving a fraction of a second, opening a corner to improve visibility, but I've never bothered with it since I was thrown out of RPU.

I getcha.

I would never dream of teaching that to a learner driver. It's a skill for experienced drivers who are competent enough to use it where appropriate. No learner (And a lot of full licence holders) could be trusted to do that. It didn't figure on driving tests because it was never taught, but I should think most examiners would rather see candidates stick to their own side of the white line for the same reason as me.

I agree and whilst I do use it when appropriate, especially on a motorbike (and was encouraged to do so by the Thames Valley Police during a Bike Safe course), I don’t preach it to my daughter. My curiosity was how it would sit with an examiner, given that it is legal and sometimes appropriate although not generally taught nor often observed.

What do you mean by "Offsiding".

It’s what knobs try and do to overtake you, when you are approaching a blind bend on your bike. There’s inevitably a car coming the other way.
