I recently did an IDCAM with the local IAM (I won a prize see, didn't cost me a bean as opposed to £25 normally)
I did alright, got mostly B's with a couple of A's but a C+ for country lanes.
Picture the scenario: the leaves are falling off the trees, the (single track) road is sopping wet, there are a lot of drives and junctions coming on to the road, not many clear views ahead as the road was twisty and the surface was, frankly, shite.
I thought: choose life and rode very steadily with plenty of room/space/braking distance should I have to slam the anchors on (on the shity road surface)
I was criticized for going slow as it was a national speed limit road (60 MPH)
Technically the guy was correct but I couldn't agree with him
I'm going to try the local ROSPA next. (cheaper too.)
