just merely pointing out what the IAM are trying to do...
doesn't mean I agree with it
Thanks for that.
My posting was intended as a bit of a counter to Dave's weighty posting of...
"....in which case it deserves to be disappointed. Nobody needs to be doing anything exclusively. Are they trying to boost the number of advanced drivers, or automatons?"My own experience has been that whatever anybody, whether or not an official of the IAM or RoADAR, says about all the myriad of driving and steering techniques supposedly required of test candidates, the reality is that provided the drive is Safe, Systematic, Smooth, at an appropriare Speed and is Legal then the examiners are more than happy to award a pass grade. And, no, the examiners are never so dogmatic as to regard non-exclusive use of pull-push, in itself, as failure to demonstrate one or more of the 4's. They might have a niggle about it, as I posted earlier, but it's never been a pass or fail issue.
