I am fully aware of my own bad habits, so in that situation I would adjust them accordinglly.
What are they? And how would you adjust them?
Tell you what mate, you tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine.
(Despite the fact that if you’d kept up, you’d see I’ve covered most of them on a previous post on this thread. )
I was only asking you a straight forward question. Something I’d like to be able to do with an assessor, and a question a competent assessor would answer candidly.
Ok fair enough, read my other post I was on about then, and decide if that is candid enough for you.
Ok, another thing we will have to agree to differ on. I’ve read your post, but still think that most decent drivers could achieve the standard to assess without a training course, but more a ‘‘brush up’’ for a couple of hours or so to help them adapt off those bad habits. Can not see how the comparison or relavance of a 4 year course to teach kids applies to this either if I’m honest, …but enjoy your time in NL and say hello to my in laws.
Yes looks like it. I see you are only talking about assessing now. No comparison, just making a point about teaching and training etc. I suppose your idea of a brush up for a couple of hours may work but it all depends on who is assessing you? Another experienced driver maybe? Even experienced drivers do things wrong without realising as I am sure you know. It all depends also on the way you are able to explain situations. For instance try explaining something to three different people and you may just find they all interpret it differently depending on the way you word it.It’s like most things, it takes practice and experience. Oh and it’s not always the best drivers that makes the best instructors. Some may be really good at putting points over, be extremely patient and have an understanding attitude but be a crap driver which is not so good for demonstrations.

Bloody hell mate, if you were assessing me and I asked you “they tell me you’ve been doing this since 1979, so you must have developed some bad habits, what are they?”, and you looked all coy and shyly said “er…erm…err…you’d better ask Jim, er…he’ll be in the yard at 7pm, I told him the other day what they are, ask him”… I wouldn’t hesitate to whip my card out and ■■■■ off home shaking my head.
