Rospa was interesting, missed out on a gold, just,,,
I filtered to the front of a set of lights in front of a white van in a 30 section and the examiner said I could have put my self at risk if the van decided to race me, he siad he's seen it bofore and also braking down from a 70 to a 30 instead of using the engine. This contradicted what an IAM guy told me to do on an IDCAM a year ago so a bit annoyed at that.
Other than that, it was pretty relaxed really.
I did some driver training years ago & the one thing that i remember is that they did not condone slowing down using the gearbox, all on the brakes til the last minute, looking looking looking braking braking braking, see the gap, off the brakes, select the correct gear & then complete the move.
I remember the instructor saying "whats more expensive"" a new gearbox or some new brake pads"
So sounds a contradiction to be punished for not using the gearbox really i agree.
Foccin instructor! :evil
