skills something I

I would suggest that there is often more than one way of looking at a given situation, and more than one way of responding to it, with no one way being 'the best'. Similar situations can have subtle differences, that require equally subtle responses. I believe reading these differences, and tailoring ones response to them, is one of the differences that distinguish a good driver from a mediocre one. I certainly don't believe there is a 'one answer suits all' solution to ever changing traffic or road conditions.

Such as? I would suggest that if a good experienced driver has to taught them, they are not particularly important.

If you have been taught initially to a mediocre standard (for for!

I have forgotten completely what I was taught whilst learning to drive. I did learn to drive and pbutted my test driving a 3 ton lorry, if that makes any difference.:-) As far as I'm aware, my way of driving now, is basically self taught, based on observation and a small amount of reading.

comment

That comment is based on answers I read in these n-group when questions about driving situations are answered by those that say their replies are based on what they were taught when taking an advanced driving course. I seldom take part in these discussions. Many have very obvious answers, and others are far more capable than I of giving helpful answers. Another reason for not replying, is that I find it difficult to give categoric answers. As I implied earlier. So many factors can affect the way one responds to a given situation.

I'm not for one

Better from what POV? Safer? My driving record suggests I'm a safe driver anyway. If it just involves techniques, maybe I'm happy with the technique I have at present. It's kind to the car, and doesn't incurr uneccessary wear and tear. IMO. :) Mike.
