Reg, a question I've been meaning to ask for some time. Where is the road in the intro to your vids? Somewhere in Scotland?

Honestly, I’ve no idea! It was an Adobe After Effects template I bought & edited to suit the channel. Could be anywhere in the world!

In other news, I had (legitimate) access to a slippery old airfield yesterday, so some skid control videos are incoming over the next couple of weeks!

I'm interested in the "don't grass yourself up" statement in this ^^ video Reg, with regard to making a mistake whilst under test?

For me, i'd rather someone notices their mistake, comes clean, and explains that it was a mistake and then explains how they will avoid making it again than ignores it completely, hopes the examiner doesn't notice, and carries on?


Ok, there are mistakes and there are mistakes. If you run through a red light at ninety, then i think we can safely say any examiner (DSA/advan) will have noticed that one, where as a short period doing say 34 in a 30 perhaps not, but self appraisal, critiscism and responsive learning are key to forming better habits in everything we do.

This is just specific advice that I give to candidates about to take an advanced test - I'm not asking them to ignore their mistake. I just want them to not focus on it too much. It doesn't happen very often, but I can think of 2 occasions during test when a candidate has pointed out a minor error which I hadn't spotted myself. Not biggys, but overthinking these mistakes can spoil their overall performance on test.

I'm subscribed to your channel but notifications to my Inbox seem to have stopped. Any idea why?

I have no idea. You have to sign up for notifications separately from subscription by pressing the little bell button.

I have a video scheduled to go live at 18.30 today - see if you get a notification & let me know.
