MOD1 fail as expected but in a unexpected way lol

[cypek]

Well, as MOD1 is only £15 I have decided to have a "trial" go. I was expecting I will fail but I thought it will be on swerve/emergency stop as I was not sure my "rocket" can reach 50kph in such a short distance. Well, I did 51 on swerve and 52 on em stop. All this swerve turned out to be extremely easy and everything else went well. Did slow riding, slalom, figure of 8 and u-turn perfectly. BUT as I saw all was going well I started to get a bit nervous and my stupid mistake was not using foot brake during emergency stop Been told that in swerve part that would be just a minor but on em stop it was fail Well, now I know what to expect and I am pretty sure I can pass on the next attempt

Bad luck mate. You'll get it next time, no problem.

How could the examiner tell you weren't using the foot brake? Did you pull a big stoppie or have your right leg in the air or something??

At least you know now its In the bag and as everyone knows........the best riders ALWAYS take Mod 1 on the second attempt

And the ultimate riders on the 6th

I guess she could tell it as I keep my foot pulled back a bit so only front of it is on a footpeg. So it wasn't even above my pedal Also I must say on a swerve I was REALLY close to stoppie to be able to keep my front wheel between the cones lol. I should have started breaking a bit earlier and bit harder from the begining In the end I'm happy I did well and made just one mistake. Roll on next time !! I'm also glad MOD1 waiting lists are just a few days/ a week in my centre

I also had similar situation at my car test. Failed first attempt for not using indicator on MOD1 part and easily passed next time:) Stupid mistakes lol

Am shocked you failed for that!!

If the emergency stop was done in a controlled manor and it was ok. what the hell difference should it make what brake you used?

I skidded on mine thouht id failed examiner said as its raining thats fine it was under control!
