Dana_leigh Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well here it is again!! I'm off out to do my module 1 today after failing the last one. It's at 5pm and it's currently raining which means it will be dark and wet!!Did practice in rain the other day and it was fine, not issues there, did practice in the dark last night and that was a bit harder as the cones aren't reflective.Hoping it will all be fine though!!! Wish me luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana_leigh Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 well up here it gets dark very quickly....and earlier than down south. Its quite dull and dusky here now. I think it's more that they thought it might be ok, but the examiner said he wasn't happy with how quickly the dark came in last night and H&S wouldn't cover them if something went wrong. Waiting for a phone call back now to confirm the time for tomorrow.Its unusual as the test space is in a public car park, so they have to wait until out of hours before they can do the tests.

Dana_leigh Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks Man im really shitting my self now You are definitely not alone!!! have you had a lot of practice?? I've done a few hours worth but I'm a little worried as my Avoidance speeds are not completely consistent.....hopefully I only need to get it right the once though!!

Guest Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Only on my street, no real practice at the avoidance- only just man hole covers lol.A beer has helped lol.Main concern is that it takes an hour to get there, and just to fail 5mins in really takes the piss TBH.

Dana_leigh Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 yeah know what you mean. Least you will be warmed up from riding first. One of the problems I found last time was that I had to jump on the bike and do all this and it takes me a little while to get comfy on the bike. I'm sure we will both be fine!! My instructor says if I get there early enough I MAY get a warm up on the cones before the examiner gets there....so I'm going to get there nice and early lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol thanks WF. Thing is i had 1 beer, about 5 hrs sleep (couldnt get to sleep ) i did think positively and left with plenty of time to spare (had to wait there 15 mins) You are correct about being late, i was late last time and totally put me out of mind set.Got 50km on both part, first part i for some reason, accelerate more after the cones, dunno why lol. MORE BEER Well done for passing too EDIT: No faults either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
