    I apply for a roadtest when I can be challenged but also give an informative review. I never look at the value because it shouldn't matter, if I am interested in the product, I apply. I also make sure…

    I apply for those where I think I can make a fair judgement. They have to be in my interest or curiosity range or - preferably - something I can learn from.

    Taxes. I used to be quite involved in RoadTest, but something changed on E14 with the tax situation and I haven't been a very active member of that group since.

    I thought to add this fear, which I am surprised no one has raised as yet, which is the fear of making a mistake or fear of failure. No one likes to write about a failed attempt, even though it is through failure that you learn the most.

     

    This leads me to the next question, if you have uploaded and published your road test and then you yourself find mistakes what is the best way to correct these. Is it:

     

    (a) simply update report and save

    (b) update report but use the "update" flag (or something else) and save

    (c) write comment below report to indicate changes

    (d) something else.
