I was a demonstration driver for the institute of advanced motorists for a couple of years, had to give it up due to time constraints. Recently went out with the advanced motorcyclists for an observed ride and was amazed to be told at the end that I only needed to work on a couple of areas to pass. One being speed (I kept to the limits), I was told that you are expected to make progress, so a national speed limit didn't necessarily mean sticking to 60 or 70 and the other being, cutting corners instead of following the road when you can see that no one else will need that bit of road. I agree with the latter but I have to say that after being involved in a fatal accident 20 or more years ago, I have become analy retentive about speed limits, if something happens and you were speeding, how could you live with yourself, the Police told me I would never drive again because they thought I was speeding, turns out I was at least 10mph short of the maximum, which saved my career and licence and sanity etc, etc. Is ROSPA the same, I know how to make progress and there aren't many people that can beat me point to point without speeding or using the wrong lanes etc, it just concerns me that these so called experts expect us to break the law to pass a test (wouldn't stand up in court).
