Describing how to do something may appear to make it seem more complex than it is in practice. Naturally an advanced driving course will teach different techniques to those taught at a basic level and should make for a safer driver.
Some of those techniques may seem to go against the grain but when learnt and practiced their merits become obvious.
But no competent driver training programme would advocate what you suggested earlier.0 -

You would certainly fail an Advanced Driving Test doing what you suggested.
It was against the rules of the Highway Code, simply not tolerated.0 -

As an ex ADI that has been involved in driver training at various levels, I would never teach anyone to do the manoeuvre you are advocating, it is outright dangerous and bad driving.0
