I am amazed at some of those who tailgate and give the impression the can’t wait to get past. When safe to do so, a straight and open section, I get over and give them every chance to get past, why don’t the take it, often they then drop back, then close up again on bendy sections.
What put me off taking the IAM course is I had an initial assessment. At one point I needed to hang back behind a row of parked cars waiting for on coming traffic. When clear I drove past. The told me I did not position the car out far enough to get a clear view down the road. I told her I could see perfectly well and if I had been any further out oncoming traffic would not get past. The fact is, from the passenger seat she could not see past, but she failed to appreciate we were in different positions.
Rightly or wrongly I admit to slowing down and speeding up while passing speed signs. Yes I know it’s technically wrong, but I don’t wish to deliberately annoy those around me. For others who do this here is a word of warning. In Wales, (at least in some parts). The have introduced warning signs ahead of the actual speed sign. They then position cameras just after the sign. That’s what caused my visit to the speed awarness course. ☹️
