Andy - don't get too hung up over style. No law which say pull-push is better than rotational steer.

Use a variety and if you feel more comfortable with one style - no reason to change. You would not fail IAM over this - they are looking for safety, smoothness. increased observation/anticipation skills - etc in the drive.

Aim for a relaxed concentration - driving should be a pleasure.


Well said - if I may say so - In Gear.

The important thing is to develop a style that enables you to achieve a reliable and safe result, in an easy, confident and relaxed manner.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

As my job requires driving, normally 4-8 hours a day, my main motivation is a desire to still be alive at the end of the day and to still have a driving licence

Unfortunately, since the latter makes the former harder, and since I was nearly wiped out through no fault of my own by someone coming the other way overtaking on a blind corner, I'm starting to think I that changing jobs for a desk job would be a better approach.

I did start doing IAM before I got this job, but a snapped camshaft put a temporary halt to this, and the driving job meant I was far too knackered to do IAM any more, and I couldn't predict if I would be at home at any given time.
