Agree with you on the Rear Brake Nigel

Mathewmartialart - does it matter if they are in the right lane? NO oncoming vehicles :-)

Although it does seem excessive - were I can I pass parked cars.. door width plus little extra.

when I did my CBT in London, it was right foot down first to get into neutral, then swap so you could cover the rear brake. They said this was safer, plus being in neutral when stationary also extended your clutch life.

I moved to Liverpool a few months later, and took my full test lessons there. My instructor said to ignore that if I wanted, as it had little impact on clutch wear and safer to have it 1st gear in case you need to pull away in an emergency. This makes more sense to me now.

Another fine video from team Advanced!

Lifesaver - Roadcraft, page 31:'Use your judement about when you use it.'

So it looks like modern thinking is 'As require' and not dare I say a robotic reaction, because I was told to. Because it was drilled into me when I did my Police courses.

ops i missed a word in there which makes my above comment sound as if im talking completely of the rear brake thing, when in fact when i was talking about doing ym test, i was talking about the lifesaver . oops

The feet Thing again....

When I trained they called it the 'Hendon Shuffle' after the Polcie school at Hendon and you alsways ahd to stop with left foot down. This meant on the majority of occasions have to shift feet, i.e right foot down, to put it out of gear and left foot down, with right foot covering the brake. It was a pain in the ar'e. So modern thinking, choose the appropriate foot to put down, doesn't matter which one. Well not in advanced circles

[Mathewmartialart]

yeah fair enough on the feet item, i personally couldnt stand doing it on my lessons and test as i just felt akward and off balance. I took my test just a few months back, so i will be alarmed to hear if they no longer need to do this all the time, as i found it to be evident to why its in use when i was doing it.. and the overtake, yeah have a word becuase whats he going to do if a vehicle comes the other way, is he going to go next to the parked cars and then swing back out?

[advancedbiker]

Feet Down - No golden rule, use any. If there is no need for the rear barake, why cover it.

Lifesaver - A good comment. The 'Roadcraft' I was trained on was that the 'Lifesaver' was always given. However in the most recent one, the 'Lifesaver' is considered. So no need to do it all the time.

Room on the overtake - Can not answer that one yet, will be seeing him in the week and wil ask
