It should be made mandatory like CBT.

Yesterday, on the exact same stretch of road I posted about earlier, another idiot performing a ridiculous overtake on a cyclist. They were going up a hill we were going down, so you can imagine the cyclist was pretty slow. They overtook the cyclist as we were passing them, my other half was driving and she had to squeeze right over to her left. The poor cyclist wasn't given 15cm let alone 1.5m of space
I took a cycling proficiency test in junior school in the 60's, would that be sufficient?If only there was some sort of proficiency test for cyclists.
Why do people have such a problem with merging at point and insist on moving over at the earliest point?!

Exactly, or even better a 'straddler' to stop people 'pushing in'.Generally because so many people are ignorant as to the proper practise or don't care it is less likely to lead to confrontation moving over early. Which just ruins it for everyone.

The % of drivers not putting on their lights on is getting worse each time it rainsAbsolutely honking down with rain yesterday and many driving with absolutely no lights on making them almost invisible in those conditions and yet again a couple of idiots with main beam on both Ford Eco-Sports strangely?
I think this is a real issue. The auto headlights on some cars are very poor at coming on in poor visibility such as rain as can be seen driving along in heavy rain or mist. There needs to be an awareness campaign that makes people realise that their auto headlights are not coming on in conditions where headlights are needed, especially as driving lights do not usually include the rear lights.The % of drivers not putting on their lights on is getting worse each time it rains
This is unfortunately how I end up handling a couple of points on my commute because I've not got the energy to deal with the specials ones who block you from merging after a day at work.don't care it is less likely to lead to confrontation moving over early. Which just ruins it for everyone.

Ironically I was behind a driving instructor at about 4pm last night, while it was raining. No lights, so maybe it's not entirely the learners faultThe % of drivers not putting on their lights on is getting worse each time it rains
I suspect most people just put the light switch on auto and never think about it ever again.
