I tend to talk to associates about making AD their everyday standard of driving.

With a bit more time, I talk about one's journey of development as an advanced driver being about two things happening in parallel. First, the standard of one's best drives goes up. Second, the difference between your standard on your best and worst days narrows.

Isn't this forum already doing that?


I don't think so.


Why?
A wise man once told me that "it depends". I sometimes agree.
