That's just bizarre. Why does removing a bit of paint change how acceptable it is?
Because of how that paint influences the expectations of other drivers?
Which is certainly irrelevant on all the occasions that yo can see there are no other drivers.
Honestly RoADAR, the whole point of advanced driving is to use thinking as a replacement for silly rules!
Exactly!
Do we really need any further dumbing down and the destruction of inbuilt competence (especially by supposedly advanced driving organisations) on top of what has long been promoted by brain-dead officials, and 'road safety' charities that shouldn't be charities? You know who I mean.
Still, it might reduce the tendency for outsiders to criticise the AD community for being some kind of elite, and thus alien to the rest of the driving population. Don't get me wrong, I would very much like the AD community to be clearly seen as a bit special, promoting high standards, setting good examples, and something to aspire to etc., but they do need to get their house in order and be fairly clear and consistent about what they stand for.
