Ha ha, as a driving instructor I can tell you re multitasking, for example changing down and braking at the same time or changing up whilst going round a corner, I can tell you men are much better!sweet angel wrote:Had a provisional since the age of 17 and a full licence gained a couple of years after that - and it's been clean all the way to present date. :smt023
I can multitask (it's a women thing I gather, changing cd's etc.)... and I don't spend my entire journey moaning on about those that don't indicate, etc. etc. etc.![]()

The only drawback is I now have Harv insured on my policies

I did ask this question at the awareness course. The answer : No only speed offenders caught by the Police are allowed to attend.Barrie wrote:This speed awareness course, can anyone get on it , or do you have to be a naughty boy? On a winters day it could provide some entertainment
That is a bit strange, don't you think. Here is a good citizen, trying to learn to be a better driver--- but noooooooooooooooooo the system doesn't like that.
It appears that it is more valuable to them to have offenders aka cashcows.
Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.

There is one or sometimes more almost every journey..
Some days my car is totally invisible, I rang MI6 and offered them it so the R&D Boys could try and copy it for James..
Saturday afternoon is about the only good time to drive now, but by tea time all the loonies have come out again.

My last points were 1979.... until a cop on a bike gunned me down doing 49 in what was usually a 50 limit (but was reduced for roadworks).
There is a tendency to reduce a limit that has been in place all yer driving life and put a camera in at the same time... Jane was caught doing 34 in an ex 40 limit (now 30) her first ever points.

Cameras is cameras.. no leeway given.
She wanted me to take the points (yeah right).. but if it's good enough for MPs...
Yesterday trip home.. This guy had been in the lane behind me then sat up my inside for ages, look what he did when he saw the van coming into the inside lane, and later he was weaving in and out of lane to pass people up either side.

You should try commuting on the M25 Wolfie if you let those little episodes wind you up! It can be a real racetrack at times.Wolfie wrote:Cameras is cameras.. no leeway given.

Do you keep a camera going all the time, like the Russians appear to do? I daren't - it'd be self incriminating
