I have my advanced test in a few weeks and am getting conflicting advice from my IAM observers about the balance between Making Progress and driving with consideration for others.
I am in lane 2 of a motorway doing 65 behind a lorry. Lane 3 is busy with people doing 80. A small gap comes up which I *can* move into, but at 70 I will cause people to slow down.
My view is that I should wait for a longer gap where my impact (pun intended) will be less, but some observers have the view that lane 3 should not be going at 80 so "it is their problem".
