Driving Instructors 5299

I am growing increasingly concerned about the lack of professionalism displayed by Driving Instructors. Before I tar everyone driving instructor with the same brush, I am going to state that I am sure (and hope there is) those who display admirable skill and professionalism in their driving ability at every opportunity.

Words fail me
Come along to join the A road and the end of our road to the village. Someone kindly placed a short slip there which is too short to...

I wrote recently and complained to the BSM about one of their drivers (I buttume it was driven by an Instructor as BSM was blazened across it in big white letters)who not only cut me up on a motorway slip road dangerously, but progressed to disappear at a speed limit well above the national limit permitted. As expected, I received no reply. Today on the M6, travelling in lane 2 (middle) I indicated to move out into lane 3 (outside) to overtake a slower vehicle, I was travelling at 70mph. Courteously, the BSM car slowed to let me out, flashed his headlights and when I had pbutted the vehicle in front and returned to lane 2, he sped pbutted me at over 70mph. I am not criticising his speeding, that's up to him, its his licence and supposedly his job on the line, but in the HC it says that the use of flashing headlights should only be used in the scenario 'I am here' and not to be used in any other circumstances. The point is, don't these guys have a responsibility to drive as professionals and set an example to others, after all, the majority of us at some time will have sons and daughters who will want to learn to drive, I certainly would not put my daughter to school with the BSM. Am I asking too much?

Crazy about driving.
