Hi from me. Manchester Area

[Aristotle]

Hi,

a quick introduction from me:

I live in the Manchester area. I'm interested in driving and riding and I am interested in learning more. I've read widely on both over the years.

Training-wise, I have an IAM motorbike pass. I've done a defensive driving course with IAM and been observed by a RoAdar examiner. I've had a session in a skid car.

Experience-wise, I enjoy driving in all conditions and I've ridden/driven in various countries/continents. South America and Asia being particularly interesting... Other than turn-up-and-drive karting, I've only been on a track once. I'm a keen mountain biker (preferably on rocky/technical mountains)

Beliefs-wise, I'm more in favour of drivers interacting harmoniously with one-another than I am in favour of people adhering strictly to any 'driving system'. I'm a fan of smoothness and I've no objection to overlapping control inputs if it will aid smooth progress.

I'm intrigued by the 'HPC', but don't know much about it.

Cheers,

[martine]

Welcome oh-wise-one!

I'll let others explain HPC but you might like to come along to an ADUK driving day...you'll find a wide range of drivers and experience and background attend...some IAM/ROSPA, some HPC and others with no formal training at all. They are always friendly, non-competitive, enjoyable and informative.

Only problem is there are no more organised for this year - unless someone steps up to the plate!

Cheers.

I'll have a look at the calendar.

Are there any active members in my area?
