Driver (not student) doesn't seem to understand the 'no undertaking' part of the highway code. If it was the instructor who did this on the road today, then maybe you should find someone else to learn to drive with. Car fitted with CCTV according to the sticker in the rear window, so maybe they can have another look at their actions. Edit: Following your reply, I look forward to giving evidence to the police about this incident, as our vehicles were stationary at the time of taking the image of your car, so only you have committed a driving offence. You have yet again proven your ignorance of the highway code / local laws. It's pretty clear to me that you are attempting to fabricate my actions (as illegal) to deflect from your own poor driving. Assuming you have not edited your footage, your undertaking manoeuvre will have been captured, meaning you are only incriminating yourself. As you have appealed to Google to have the image posted of the event removed, it is clear why you did this, as the image proves we were at a standstill (no motion blurring). Either that, or you are doing 40mph not under braking only 3 feet from the van in front with its brake lights on (which is arguably even more dangerous than undertaking), and I was using a DSLR (or something with a seriously high calibre image capturing capability). Of course, I was not, so we were at a standstill meaning I can use a handheld device to gather evidence. It is interesting that even after reviewing the footage of your own driving behaviour, you still fail to see that you put your vehicle in-between mine and the van in front, taking away my 2 second braking gap to the vehicle in front. This road is frequently used for emergency vehicles coming too and from the QEU hospital, so I am always super alert to the traffic around me should I need to take action to allow anything with blue flashing lights to pass safely. You seem to have missed this in your own review. And it would appear that I wasn't the only person who noticed your poor driving when you undertook other cars, as they had also anticipated the road ahead long before you and all moved into the correct lane for the tunnel. You seemed to be the only driver that took that long to get in the correct lane. Perhaps you are not familiar with the road, but it well sign posted, the weather was clear (good visibility), and there was no large vehicles in your lane obstructing your view. No excuses for your poor driving and endangering others. This sort of thing happens all the time, and it doesn't bother me in the grand scale of things. But for someone who is supposed to be a professional driver given a certificate to train others, you should know better. But apparently not it would seem, hence my review. You are supposed to be setting an example for young and inexperienced drivers. We all need a better standard of drivers on our busy roads, and it begins with all instructors, professional or otherwise. Read Less
