Well now, if there's a question to start a riot.
As most bods on here know I stuffed into the side of a car Oct last year.
Consequence of that was, I was put on the DIP as you also know.
Got tested by grade 1 ex-bike cop (he left the feds because he was sick to death of chasing targets and not the **** driving he was observing- quote). I was assessed as 80% exceptional and 20% consistently good. Moreover I didn't ride any differently the days I was on the course than I do normally.
I still class myself as an average driver, but treat everyone else on the road as a complete driving no hoper until I know better.
I learned that the hard way. Observation does NOT help you when you've looked once decided they have seen you because they are stopping, and are not going to move further, so you look for the next hazard and the blo*dy fool changes their mind then drives across you, especially when you've got the green light. Who got done, the bloke on two wheels of course. Did you expect any other outcome?
Ains.
