it's a shame as IAM is an excellent organisation for the most part, members are pretty much all good guys when it comes to driving around us. Certainly the training is based around defensive driving techniques and hazard perception, for a regular cyclist who also drives I found it relatively easy to grasp and added my own input purely from a cycling POV.
Anyway, this seems a bit of a tardy and clearly misinformed 'poll' that will do far more damage than I bet the IAM envisaged.
It's quite shocking that the PR/Press rep didn't actually think to pull this before speaking to superiors (& if she did that is even more shocking!) given the misinformation and that the 'poll' was open to abuse in the first instance.
