Ahhhhh, so it doesn't say 6 car lengths after all.

Yup, no mention of six car lengths, then.

Would this be a reference to people who say things like:
"if your blood alcohol level is above the limit but falling (the morning after) you are not impaired"
What gobbldegook is this?
or:
Really? that's odd, because I have been an advanced driving instructor for 15 years and I have not found any of these "diametrically opposed" issues.
And then go on to diametrically oppose themselves by following up with:
OK. it has taken ADI a long time to catch up with teaching the concept of "missing-out" gears, but they have now.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Perhaps you mean people who say things like:
"And that the highway code does change, and not always for the better."
Really? would you like to give examples?
Well, you did ask me to point them out to you!
Warped logic indeed!
> Do you do this on purpose?
I do. Not to further my case, just to test it.
Being an insecure individual, full of self doubt, I am continually questioning myself, and my beliefs. I need reassurance that I'm likely to be right after all.
But I'm beginning to realise why that might wind up the opposition so much (obvious really I suppose - Mark).
So I'll desist for a while now, and crawl back into my lair.
Until someone rattles my cage again.

And - why do you crawl to HJ?
There are other experts here - as well as HJ - and altho' you mention teaching/testing advanced driving, you fail to state your qualifications to be regarded as such...
If someone asks an opinion, you are fre to give yours, for what its worth, as are we to question and where appropriate deride it...
If you want to give opinion and have it regarded as gospel, better go and do some more instructing?
