What are you on about?
I passed my motorcycle test in 1977 after having had no training
nor a single lesson. In 1981, I passed my car test with no school
lessons either, it was very common in those days. In contrast, I
passed two cycling proficiency tests, so I have had more training
for riding my bike than I ever did for a car or motorbike.

A simple refresher course should be fine to bring you back up to
standard
then. The videos you post does not demonstrate safe HC standards.
Not even
legal standards at times.- Hide quoted text -

I have to do a IAM full day advanced driving course every 3 years
as a condition set by my employers.
I always pass with flying colours, no doubt due to the experience I
have gained in driving in 33 different European countries with all
of their different rules and laws.

Excellent. I KNOW you would fail if they saw your videos, there is
no way
you drive that aggressively in your IAM tests!

The only flaw in you logic GT is that Simon's videos are all
recorded while riding a bike.

I thought he knew that.
The filtering and passing cars/buses through very small gaps at high
speeds would be impossible in a car.

I know the videos are taken whilst on a bike. My point is that you
come on a driving group to complain about drivers and post videos
demonstrating you braking several driving laws, yet claim to have
passed the IAM test several times.

You posted one video to demonstrate a car using the right only lane
to pass you, then going straight on. Then you posted a video of you
using the right only lane to pass a bus, yet you go straight on. You
complain about a 'boy racer' car having to brake hard to avoid
hitting a pedestrian in the road - not the driver's fault. In that
same video you pass over a zebra crossing while it still has
pedestrians on it and a while later you posted another video showing
you have to brake hard to avoid hitting a pedestrian yourself.
Practise what you preach, or stop moaning about other road users
doing exactly the same things as you.


Careful, he'll put you in his killfile.


or threaten you, or both, or even worse he may start propositioning you.
