"IAM Observer" Dashcam disaster

[Haltamer]

Something rather "dramatic" over the past week, with some woeful dashcam clips submitted by an IAM observer to Ashley Neal's youtube channel;

Interesting to see that IAM have seemingly (Based on their statement) worked out who it is - I wonder what sort of walk of shame they're in for?

i think the update says it all

Update 12/10/2020. I've just received this update from IAM RoadSmart. "The IAM RoadSmart member who submitted clips to Ashley Neal has now offered his resignation, which has been accepted. The driving in the clips on which Ashley has commented do not uphold the Advanced Driving standards we coach people to achieve. All our observers hold a formal qualification, accredited by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI). This member did not hold that qualification and was not entitled to claim to be an observer for IAM RoadSmart."

That would perhaps explain things:-

As others have said though, I'm still a little amazed at the fact anyone would submit these; Even if you thought you were entirely "in the right" they're not exactly tidy examples - Seems as though the submitter may have a slightly (!) inflated view of themselves, especially making false claims to being an observer.
