  • Welcome to this new spin off series, a bit of a trial video so hopefully useful to someone!
    In this one we are covering A roads on a journey from Oxenwood to Devizes. In future ones I may mix it up and cover different snippets of journeys to cover different scenario's.
    Hopefully this was useful and/or interesting!

    Excellent video, interesting to watch so very different there the roads, especially the country lanes.The principles of driving you covered are identical here in Australia, constant awareness and reading the road ahead. The left side of the bus/coach is the most vulnerable and where most trouble will occur, we were told to keep a space of 2 metres when passing parked vehicles, do not know if they are occupied, someone opening a door or a pedestrian steeping out between them. At roundabouts, depending on its design and width, lane splitting makes it much easier to get around, but need to set up beforehand. Very informative James.

      Absolutely, 2 meters is only good if you can do it! I got a minor in my test for that, but it was one of those moments where you were getting a minor anyway, it was a busy main road with parked cars on the left so was squeezing past the parked cars, if I waited for a gap so I could keep a distance, I'd be waiting there all day!

      Absolutely, glad it has become useful! How did you find the Tourimso, quiet isn't it? I know what you mean there are hundreds of trucking ones, but then they are easier to do as there aren't passengers

    I note you have failed to respond to my previous comment concerning safety'
    Google don't know the answer...admit you don't either and START to learn your chosen trade. Excuses after an avoidable fatal collision do nothing for the bereaved.

    Why you are a danger to yourself, your passengers and all other road users.
    Question on defensive driving and experienced driver's anticipation...what is the width of your coach, the width of an "A road lane". the permitted width of an agricultural vehicle or a wide load without and escort?
    You only have to dither a second or two or get the answer wrong once to cause carnage.
    Don't try giving advice on a subject you obviously know so little about.
