We must remember that the training by an ADI is for the basic DSA test and anything which is not really required for safety will be just an extra burden on the learner
Expanding from the basics is what a driver can opt to do post test
Very difficult to unlearn the way you do something once you have learned it. Much easier to learn to do it right the first time.
What sort of thing are we saying would just be an extra burden on the learner? If you are talking about making smooth gear changes, I don't agree.
Yet again I find myself agreeing with you Mark. I see rev matching as part of basic car handling. It may mean a little more work to learn to do things right from the beginning rather than unlearn and redo later.
I've also found myself in the position of Nick in teaching ADIs how to rev match. Of those that do have some understanding they usually only know of blipping the throttle but not sustained and as to how this can be combined with double declutch.........
