Here's the first in a 5 part series where I look at all the detail about the system of car & bike control. This one covers the information phase & how you should be continually taking, using & giving information when driving or riding.

The more I get into advanced driving, the more my passion grows for advanced driving. Your enthusiasm for the subject helps a lot.

Hi Reg. passed my IAM on Thursday with a F1rst. Huge thank you to my observer and to you and your videos. Brilliant combination. Life changer. Thank you!

Passed my IAM back around Oct 91…So probably more than a little rusty. I’m watching this series as a refresher…so far pleased to see I still pick up on most of these anticipation points automatically, but I can also see where I have lapsed on things, to some extent, like ideal lane positioning approaching subtle potential hazards. I am also not as ‘progessive’ as my younger self, being more content to have a less hurried drive. Even so I know for sure where some IAM techniques have enabled me to avoid a couple of developing accident situations over the years. At 60 I am still learning..my last wake up call was around 5 years ago, when on a rural road following a black car on a dark rainy night at about 40…Brake lights, I found, only tell you the car in front is slowing..not by how much! Since I could see nothing of its shape to judge, and when they braked I began braking, but the unexpected near emergency stop they did caught me by surprise. It shouldn’t have…so my fault. Lesson learned. Now I give enough braking distance not just to stop, but also to allow a judgement period to ascertain their rate of deceleration, especially at night and in the gloaming.

Cracking video Reg, you do have a talent for driving to the system whilst also explaining it in such detail and clarity! 😂 I’m currently on my Police Advanced Course and did these roads the other day, I do have to say that our speeds require a fast and confident use of the system which is tough!!

mmm. have my bike safe course on Sunday with north wales police, which is going to interesting as all 30mph zones will become 20mph !! on Sunday. Already thinking are motorists going to be impatient and driving to close trying to push you along, confusion as signs still saying 30, some showing 30 on one side and 20 on the other ?

@Potts1966 10 ай бұрын

One question I've always got for people like Reg is "What do you do if you're overtaking someone doing 30 in a national speed limit section, and then they speed up as you overtake them?" This happens more often than I would like, so I tend to floor it when I go to overtake so I can make the overtake safely. But if you don't want to go faster than 60, what do you do?

@adrianalexandrov7730 10 ай бұрын

"back off and get back into lane" is the only answer I can think of. Although, I do it your way, plus usually driving underpowered vehicle I tend to increase distance first, look for an opportunity, speed up in my lane and only then go for an overtake. That way even if they would speed up it's harder to catch up as I'm already going faster. The downside is that you'd have less time to assess the road ahead after moving out of your lane and would have to possibly brake hard if there's some hazard that you have not seen.

@Potts1966 10 ай бұрын

@@adrianalexandrov7730 Thank for the reply Adrian. I don't expect many replies to this, it's a bit of an avoided question. Personally I tend to pull back from 2 seconds behind the car in front to about 4 seconds (when I see a potential opportunity) then floor it, indicate and overtake as fast as I can if it's safe. The problem with backing off and getting back in lane is that if the person following you before your overtake also speeds up to close the gap to the car you're overtaking then it can get interesting.

@adrianalexandrov7730 10 ай бұрын

@@Potts1966 Agree about person behind you possibly closing the gap, but I just don't see any other way if you stick to the speed limit. And I'm not quite sure whether it was in Reg's book, video or it was some other advanced driving/riding couch, but I recall that they're lax an speed limits on the exam for advanced driving/riding. If you can do it safely, a dozen miles over the limit is fine,. IMO, especially while overtaking, since the less time you're in the way of opposing traffic -- generally, the safer. But that's just my personal opinion, would like to read Reg's.

@RoscoeStar 10 ай бұрын

Do you follow the overtaking sequence of going from following position into overtaking position without coming across as aggressive? Reg's earlier overtaking vids broke down the process as well. Could take a review to see if this scenario was mentioned. Safe driving friend.

@Potts1966 10 ай бұрын

@@adrianalexandrov7730 I'll tend not to overtake unless I'm sure my car has longer legs compared to the car I'm overtaking. Otherwise I might start to pull out and see what the car I'm trying to overtake does before committing.

@hudders11 10 ай бұрын

What course of action would you recommend for someone like myself who has passed their test a couple of years ago, and would now like to improve their driving from "good enough to pass the test" to a level of greater awareness and ability? My main drawback i would say is my attention can lapse occasionally despite best intentions and then my driving becomes more reactive and less proactive.
