He was acting like an asshole, but it would be my fault for not keeping a safe distance. It's the same thing Graham.
So if you were travelling too fast to be able to stop if something happens in front of you, it's your fault? Erm...
Quote:Or look at it this way - and be honest with yourself - if you had made that exact same manoeuvre during your Riding Test, do you think you would have passed??
In all honesty, I do not know. Would the Examiner have brought it up in the debrief? Certainly. Would he have marked me down for it? Very probably. Would he have failed me because they were riding irresponsibly? I do not know and unless you're an IAM Examiner, you don't either. You can assume all you like, but that's all it is: assumptions.
