I would just like to share something a year since I've completed this test as an update. I want to hand back my first, shred the certificate and retract my title as an 'advanced rider'. I simply don't want it. I embarked on this IAM journey to try and encourage younger riders to take up training that might hopefully save their life. Whilst I enjoyed the training and the test itself, whether or not you think I deserved the first/pass - it's irrelevant to me. The outcome could have been a fail, and that's fine. I would have shared it anyway because my channel is about reality, not curated perfection. I am not driven by the ego side of being an 'advanced rider' with a holier than thou attitude. I just wanted to maybe learn something useful... pass or fail. The abuse... from... OTHER advanced riders... mainly National Observers has been frequent and condescending since I posted my test online. I honestly wish I'd never bothered. For all the effort that went into the filming and editing and subtitling all the episodes, it was not worth it for it all to be undone by this unpleasant and very vocal boys brigade. I say that because if I was considering doing IAM as a random person and came across the nasty comments that I've faced since doing the test... It would put me right off wanting to get involved. I often wonder if they give the wheeliers, the reckless riders and the speeders of RU-vid the same energy? Hmmm, who knows. Thanks for listening to my TED TALK 🤣

@djkitchen982 4 месяца назад

I can't help but think you are being subjected to a big helping of mysoginy. I doubt this abuse would be happening if you were a middle aged, middle class man. (Feel free to correct me if female IAM observers have been weighing in, I've not seen you share any) I find it disgusting in all honesty. Please keep making the content, it's great 👍

@atomic8468 4 месяца назад

@@djkitchen982 I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I personally think a lot of it is caused by misogyny (some of them might not realise they’re doing it) but it is misogyny all the same. I’m fortunate that the National Observers in the group I passed my test with were brilliant. They might pass a few friendly pointers on a ride out, but that’s where it stops. None of this patronising misogynistic nonsense that seems to grace social media these days. I opened my copy of the monthly IAM magazine yesterday.. and the fact that there’s an ad/article called something like ‘why have a stair lift when you can have a real lift?’ says it all really. Maybe some of the old guard feel threatened by younger riders, especially female ones. The IAM really need to clean up their image if they want to attract and retain a younger membership. Otherwise the IAM will be no more in a couple of decades time.

@SamVBikes 4 месяца назад

That fact you've been made to feel this way for essentially trying to make yourself a better rider and spread awareness for safer riding, is utter horsesh*t. The other advanced riders who should be advocates for these qualifications have treated it as a level of elitism and in turn, put many people off doing the qualification themselves. Myself included. Bit of an own goal... Keep it up Kate, I'll continue doing wheelies on GS's to keep some of those 🔔 ends busy! ❤❤

@sonicsoundzdj 4 месяца назад

Hi Kate. I'm an IAM rider. I'm sorry you have faced criticism from other IAM members. They should be ashamed of themselves. We are trying to move away from an elitist attitude and put the bed the stereotype of it's full of old blokes in high Vis. I hope you got something out of doing your test, and from what I can see you fully deserve your f1rst. We should be encouraging people to become safer, better riders. Not slating them. Well done!

8:57 great sequence, super editing to show it all. The look ahead. The look through the corner. Road positioning, the right distance to be ready to overtake. The overtake. The left lifesaver, then the move back in to your lane. So nice. Well done on the pass. It's got me interested in doing it now!

@Phatonewinner Год назад

Yep, me too.. you can always improve your riding and this is a great way to make yourself more aware 👍

Absolutely fantastic ride Kate. Love your blogs and this journey to gain the IAM was very welcoming. Keep doing what you do. You are brill at it. Happy 2023

Top result Kate and a great series. I booked my IAM course at the NEC Bike show and hoping to start it in around March time. The weather looked amazing when you did your lessons fingers crossed I get the same. Once again well done.

@nuttyslack Год назад

Congratulations on the 1st. It’s always a pleasure to see someone make a commitment to learn and implement Roadcraft with precision. A very well done!

@drewrobertson3301 Год назад

Fantastic Kate and well done getting a richly deserved first. I did mine five years ago and it totally modified the way I ride, giving such confidence as you read the road ahead so differently. The test is a extremely nerve wracking experience but gives us the chance to demonstrate all we have learned. When I have fewer time constraints I will be looking into doing my observer training, it’s not only amazing to develop but to also pass on those skills. Congrats Kate.

@eddiespeltz5656 Год назад

Well done Kate. What you have learned and achieved with IAM will help to keep you safe on our roads, it’s game changer. Congratulations 😊

@lkastaas Год назад

Nice series of videos of your IAM test. Nice work. It was good to watch and hear your comments as well as the walk thru of things after the rides. This is something i do myself, I judge my own riding and how i perform. I have also been riding with friends to see how they are doing it. And being open to give constructive critics and receive constructive critics. For me riding a motorcycle is demanding of the driver and therefore a constant learning experience. We ride with different mental mindsets, weather conditions and different traffic conditions and that is why riding can be challenging sometimes and other times feel like a breeze. Again thanks for sharing your experiences and letting others see how it could be done and what your experience is out of this. Lastly congrats for doing a good job 👍👍

@Rocket2300 Год назад

Just watched this, congratulations on the pass. In a previous life I achieved Police Class 1 advanced, I was also an IAM observer for a while, semi retired now and have been a DAS instructor for 10 years. We often find competent riders succumb to the 'test pressure' and make daft mistakes by overthinking, we encourage a commentary ride when starting off as it really focuses concentration on the task. The other thing is riders dwell on what they perceive is a mistake, don't, put it behind you and move on., just the other week a lady rider was told she had passed and like you went', "Have I?" The examiner said, " Yes, but we can go out again if you want!" LOL! Onwards and upwards now, you never stop learning on bikes, you could be an IAM observer some day and I've been riding since Queen originally released Bohemian Rhapsody, work that one out. Stay Safe!!

@lozv9974 Год назад

Aww well done Kate I’ve watched all of these and so pleased you did it! I thought you would get a First until you did that overtake but you pulled it back and didn’t let it mess your head! It’s a great thing to do and I’m so pleased I did mine. Keep it up 👍🏻

@colmanmurphy963 Год назад

@GBMatthew07 Год назад

Well done Kate, That's why we love you, you're so honest and relatable. It takes a lot of guts to put this sort of video out. The trouble is I think you're becoming better than most of your audience at riding now. :)

@mathewbarker9930 Год назад

It was good to see the nerves of the situation and the heightened sense of failure when something doesn't quite go to plan, it makes you acutely aware of every little thing, but to the observer the perspective is different, as shown in the result. I thought you did well to keep it together when you thought you had failed and it was great to see the process being shown following first hand experience rather than hearsay as well.

@WideAppeal Год назад

Many congratulations Kate. Inspirational stuff. Well done.

@mrmac7449 8 месяцев назад

Well done with your first! I watched your video and seen link to Johns after viewing... I am glad that I watched in this order (pure luck mind!). watching from Johns perspective and it showed me how your perception and commentary amplified things - when following behind, it really was an exemplary effort and not that bad! I was already a subscriber to Johns youtube and I really think his perspective is very grounded and down to earth / realistic and proof was in these two vids.. WELL DONE FOR A REALY FANTASTIC TEST RIDE!

@garylewis3780 Год назад

@chrislaing7153 Год назад

Congratulations on your F1rst. I must confess, this is the first I have ever watched on your channel. As am IAM Roadsmart Associate driver, I watch the Reg Local channel and so watched his assessment of your ride, before seeing it from your point of view. It is interesting that at no point in his commentary did he think that your overtake was a fail. I am now going to watch more of your output to see the journey to getting to your test.

@nigeltankard6977 Год назад

Congratulations Kate! I knew you would be fine in the test. The IAM trying is really good and I would recommend advanced training to all riders

@thepollenjock Год назад

What a fantastic video series on the IAM training, Kate. Thank you so much for sharing that. I was pleased to see you share your test as well and was papping it for you when you thought you'd failed, bless you. I started my IAM training in August 2022 and will be heading for test this Spring (fingers crossed), so it was great to be able to see your progression, learn some things and genuinely feel some of the emotions, having experienced similar things myself. Massive congratulations on your pass and your first - very well deserved. What I like is that you're not arrogant, always willing to learn and are a bloody good rider. Don't be too hard on yourself, though. I appreciated the collaboration with Reg Local - what a privilege to be able to see both sides of the coin! Keep the content coming. :) Tom (Moray, Scotland).

Fantastic. I watched the examiner's video first because I've been following the channel, having finally got the courage to book the IAM course which I start next month (it's only taken me 40 years but hey, better late than never). It was so interesting to watch the test from both the examiners and the driver's perpective (or rider in this case), and I was honestly nervous for you! So pleased to see you get the first place ranking, it has inspired me and I'm sure many others too. Brilliant.

Well done Kate. Never in any doubt as far as I’m concerned as just like everything else you do, you put your heart and soul into it. You only doubted yourself due to test nerves and that should never go away. Your examiner was right the perfect ride does not happen. I try to be perfect every day when riding and every day I fail but the issue is confidence and competence in equal measure. Once again, well done. See you soon 👍👍👍

Happened to me on my second attempt at getting an HGV licence, nearly sent my Examiner through the windscreen (no seat belts in trucks back then) when I misjudged where a Learner car was going on a roundabout. I was convinced I'd failed again and stopped being nervous, just drove how I'd been doing at the end of my training. I was amazed when the Examiner said I'd passed and he thought the learner car was going the other way as well.

@severnsea Год назад

@@medler2110 Very true that, I did the same, passed my second test after making what I thought was a fairly bad blunder and then must have relaxed as I thought the test was effectively over so I there was no point worrying about it any more. That was over 40 years ago. To this day I'm convinced that I drove a lot better on my first test and should not have failed it.

Oh, the drama! Bravo!!! I only got my full licence ten months ago but weirdly miss the adrenaline rush of training and tests, so this IAM malarkey is very tempting… I remember thinking that I had goofed my Mod 2 within 60 seconds of leaving the test centre and it’s all I could think about for the next forty minutes - so I was so rooting for you at the end there! Alas my examiner WAS a wind-up merchant, he had a reputation for it, my instructor even warned me about him beforehand - “if he’s shaking his head and tutting at the end of the test it means you’ve passed” - but I still fell for it - the git! 😂 Congrats!
