    Hi


    I really did not think it was necessary to add if safe to do so.

    So:

    If safe, you must do the posted speeed limits.

    I have always felt that drivers are required to drive too fast for the driving test. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on making progress and keeping your speed at the posted maximum in urban areas with little emphasis on hazard perception. I also don't like the way learners seem to be taught to approach T junctions. Sudden braking as late as possible seem to be the norm. They'll get away with it until the first time they encounter an icy road and then will sail straight on because they haven't been shown any different.

    Theres too much ambiguity in the driving test IMO one instructor can fail you for lack of progress the other for driving too fast in the same conditions. That just can't be right. Why are you talking about the test anyway? I'd take the actual legal requirements before 2nd hand info via word of mouth. The test is quite removed from real driving , and telling a guard "that what my instructor told me" isn't going to hold any water.

    IMO it would be impractical to enforce a rule you HAVE to drive at the limit. Many vehicles are not even be capable of reaching it.
