Well, do I take it from your post that you may have given up learning? ''Everyone WAS a learner at some point''
I am, and I hope you are still learning. Maybe that's what makes a true Advanced driver, having the ability to continually learn by your mistakes and, that of others.
Back to the ever changing scenario...
An advanced Driver wouldn't have got himself in that position in the first place! What does Roadcraft say about observation and anticipation? What does it say about avoiding traveling three abreast and why?
Take a look at Roadcraft and see how YOU would apply the System on approach to this hazard. (and to that of any other changes you want to make, and that's not a dig before anyone gets a little precious) You will find the answer there. Or as my Adv Inst use to say, 'Use the Force' (Points for a PM with the Instructors name/Driving School!)
I do question the value of publications with silly scenarios such as this. They create a problem an A/D would not get themselves into if they were driving to a high standard in the first place. AND they assist to cause confusion such as this.
I would prefer to read posts informing us of an observed 'situation building' and how you were able to avoid a problem due to using your advanced skills, rather than debate something which hasn't and shouldn't happen in the first place.
I don't think my response was strong at all. Come on guys and girls, lets look further ahead than the end of your bonnets!!

Which rule are you thinking of in the HC that says that (is changing lanes a give-way scenario)?
