sorry KKOB but what you say is rubbish. Driving instructors have to be better than police instructors so they of course use geasrs to slow their vehicle, it,s common sense, and people would instantly fail if they just used their brakes. Remember the exam includes, all types pof terrain, speeds, hills, etc and , I,m sorry to say most people even if they passed thir driving test, even 10 years ago, would now fail
