You said that drivers should all be tested by the DVLA.OK let's see if we can get a little less OTT posts towards this particular HGV driver
As good as cycling is or isn't for people and the country, if people don't do it it can't. Regardless of any other factors.
@classic33 where did I say they should be tested as one unit, it was you that brought the separate test issue up saying
engine = rider and car = bike, I guess the local GP should be able to test a bike though, or the LBS take someones blood pressure
and check there heart.
So you would put someone in the way on a live test to see if the driver saw them or not and see how he/she reacted???
I really thought this had moved on..
Cycle and rider are one unit, with the rider being the sole power unit in most cases. As I said, an MOT doesn't allow for seperate parts to be tested in seperate locations.
With regards the use of simulators, where are driving tests taken? If, as you have pointed out, you are not happy at driving on the roads. Don't do it. Don't sit the test, you'll never get a licence.
This asked simply because you seem keen to go down the simulation route, do you actually drive on the real roads? If you do, have they changed that much since you took your test that you think you'd fail under actual conditions? Where are test currently held.
