1st Failure was on dual carriageway going past Ibrox. Parked van in inside lane. Did mirror check, and lifesaver, saw car in outside lane maybe 100m away coming up outside lane. I felt that I had adequate time to signal, re-lifesaver and move out. I did this. The car then decided to aggressively undertake me and cut back in front of me before the parked van. Examiner said he feels I failed to judge how quickly the car was approaching and should have waited for him to overtake. Fair enough I guess. 1 minor on that test for mishearing which exit of roundabout to leave at, but did so safely so no issue. Said it was flawless ride apart from that. Second time was lack of knowledge of highway code. Turning right off main road to minor road at yellow box junction. I waited at the edge of the box, as there was oncoming traffic on other side of road. Apparently you're meant to wait inside the yellow box if you're turning right and the exit's clear. I've been driving a car for 7 years and have never realised this, so was frustrating to fail for this! Examiner said this was also flawless ride apart from this, and he couldn't believe it when I was sitting at the edge of the box. I think my strategy for next test in October will be to brush up on the highway code again! Cheers

Hi guys, Passed my MOD1 first time at Shieldhall, no problems. I have now failed my MOD 2 twice at this test centre though. 1 Major both times. Getting pretty disheartened. Have got it re-booked again for next month but this is becoming an expensive hobby! Would therefore also appreciate test route info. Cheers
