MOD 2 Re test

[AdeyT]

Got my mod 2 retest this week and feeling more nervous than first time around. Failed my 1st attempt by doing 30 in a 60 speed zone and leaving my right indicator on while exiting a roundabout, other than that quite a good ride with just one minor for hesitation.

The speed fault was a tricky one, it was a winding country lane approx 1/4 mile long, there were no signs apart from two at the last 100 yards. The examiner did say it's a national speed limit at the start of the road which threw me, I wondered why he had said that and I started looking for the non existent signs. Wouldn't mind but I use that particular road quite often and was sure it was 60, just got flustered, anyway stupid mistake that can easily be fixed,

I'm more worried about the indicator fault. I have never ever had any problems with indicators and was surprised when the examiner told me, I didn't even realise unil he said, making me think how easily it is to fail.

Sorry to hear about your 1st attempt but it doesnt sound as though you have anything to worry about...re indicators - (its always possible to press cancel them an extra time just to make sure they're off.) Good Luck with the retest.

Thanks for that

I find myself cancelling indicators even when I haven't turned for a while , guess it's just paranoia setting in

Both my CBT and DAS instructors told me to keep cancelling my turn signals every couple of minutes. That way i you have left em on they'll go off and if you haven't, then no harm done!

Good luck on the re test mate!!

Just because your paranoid - it doesnt mean "they arent out to get you really"

Might be a bit of confusion here, my fault.

I know it's quite common for learners to forget to cancel indicators, especially if they're car drivers but let me explain.

I was asked by the examiner to go right on a roundabout so I had my right indicator on while going round the roundabout, the mistake I made was leaving it on and not swittching to the left indicator just before I exited the roundabout.

What is worrying me is that I never ever had a problem with indicators at all, wether it being choosing the correct one at the correct time or remembering to cancel (I have slight OCD anyway and cancel them every couple of minutes anyhow, not joking).

Just hoping I don't do it again, or something similar on my re-test.

I used to train a procedure of going through roundabouts, so when under a bit of pressure my hands would do what is required without paying too much attention... That helped quite a bit
