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.
