    A lot of our horse based riding legislation is old old. The only legislation I can think of that could be used in specific circumstances would be wild and furious riding if using a horse on a road whilst not in proper control, and even then you’d be at a push. (s.28 Town Police Clauses Act, it was one of the very few parts that have not been repealed. It was a very useful piece of legislation for police officers and included things like improper use of a doorbell, using insulting words and preventing pigsties from being allowed in front gardens)

    My favourite part is where you continually distract her from looking out for filtering cyclists or motorcyclists and she does not do effective observations before moving off. Keep your chat on what they've paying you for! In an urban environment there are loads of things to talk about when stopped that actually have things to do with driving and looking out for other road users.

      I've driven around 20,000 miles since passing my test in November last year, I can confidently say that during that time the most respectful drivers have been 30 and below (Assuming by appearance). However the scariest drivers that I've been closest to crashes with have been the older drivers, talking 40+, whether that's veering into my lane on the motorway or pulling out on me when driving through towns/going around roundabouts.

    • @LordStraightBanana
      @LordStraightBanana 3 дні тому

      @ I wasn’t criticising the abilities of young drivers, we were all young once, including the older bad drivers you describe. After covering over 700,000 miles, both in the UK and overseas, I can see that the driver training for motorways in this country is woeful. The only place I’ve driven that is worse is the US. France and Germany are both so much better than us. Lane discipline is a joke and too many people think that just sitting in lane 2 is acceptable. The system is letting young drivers down by not properly equipping them with the skills for our busy motorway network.

    I downplayed my test in my mind in the weeks before the test, so that it felt like no big deal. On the day my instructor and I only had about 45 minutes to get to the test centre and it was stand still traffic so couldn't really get the traditional practice lesson beforehand, so I just treated my test as the lesson and that I was just showing someone what I'd learnt. It helped a lot with the nerves.

    I also find it important to train locally and do test locally to concentrate on lanes, lights, and roundabout skills. Doing a test in a city far from home just increases the chance of failure. I feel in UK the layout and road markings are not consistent and dependent on local budgets ro keep roads and markings up to date/ painted / repaired. Even buslanes have green growing over signs ( showing operation times) and lights so poor maintained that lack of local knowledge just makes it difficult for new drivers. When I did my HGv test locally, I knew every junction and lane on junctions!( I drove around on weekends memorising all ) 😅😅
