I'm not the best, but I've put a lot of work in to make sure I'm better than most. What's the point doing the work if there's nothing to show for it? I'm sure you're happy to be mediocre, but I'm not.

Based on what? Whose opinion, other than your own? What aspect of driving? Vehicle control on the road? Race track? Dirt? If on the road, how do you know you're in good control? Observeance of the law/ good practice/ courtesy? Measured how? I don't personally claim any special driving prowess BTW; I'm almost certainly on the average side of average. But I've never measured it. I *have* had an obseved m'cycle rideout, which went reasonably well, but that's all since my test. -- -Pip
