i've given this matter a little bit of thought and i boils down to:
trying to teach someone common sense and experience.
the problem with this is, if like me you've managed to survive the 250 learner laws, and a further 30 years and walk without a limp, then it's quite probable that you have acquired both of the above, and that having an IAM mentor (who had points on his license)try to impart his particular view on you really is a case of sucking eggs.
we had an intial sit down to discuss my riding history and he obviously paid no attention as i'm pretty sure i mentioned my motorsport past (moped mayhem/clubman/enduro) as he said i didn't ride fast enough on the first part of my observed ride. you can guess what happened on the second part.
the iam is a club, with it's rituals and rites of passage, it has it's own patch and it's members feel 'righteous'.
and FYI i am a blue badger........because it's my job

The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!
