Just failed my mod 2 on what i would say was down no fault on mine Bus sitting at the bus stop so as i go to overtake it by the time my front wheel gets to his rear wheel he just pulls out then signals - if i had just stayed behind him then i would have got done for undue hesitation or failing to make progress??? so feel that was wrong to fail me on . Second thing Im joining a minor to a major so im looking right left right waiting on trafic to clear so as i move out there is a parked car just at the other side of the junction as im half way out she pulls a uturn without signaling so he failed me on that to. Am i being unreasonable hear? as both times i avoided incident but could not have predicted any of the vehicles where going to move? Im Almost ready to throw towel in but have spent a few thousand on lessons bike and gear.

Did the examiner say anything as to why you were failed?


Can you ask for further explanation after a test fail?

Keep at it, you will get there. Is bit hard to comment on those two situations they failed you on without detailed description of what happened. They don't want you to fail, but they have their rules to adhere to. And they should give you good feedback on where you went wrong. They did this on my MOD 1 when failed it.

Seems like you hit a bit of bad luck at the wrong time. Buses pull out regardless, if you did your obs etc and then he moved the examiner shouldn't have pulled you on that IMO. Keep going mate, you'll get there and it will be well worth it in the end!

yeah i did all my obs right and the bus was not signaling when i committed to overtake but by the time my front wheel was in line with his rear he just pulled out then hit his signal so the examiner said he seen him signal but said im not saying you where wrong about when he signaled so in other words he was not looking at the bus untill i had committed. The thing is 10 mins after this another bus done the same thing pulled out without a signal as i was about to overtake so i started shouting and shaking my head at the bus but the examiner never marked me down for this one even tho it was the same thing. All he said was yeah i seen you shake your head at him and we just had a bit of bad luck the day lol.........


As for the woman who started to make a uturn without signaling as i was half way across a junction (minor to a major) he done me for observation as he seen her friends on the pavment waving to her just before i pulled out. Now im looking at traffic coming from left and right not people waving on the pavment straight in front of me and if she was not to busy waving then she would have been signaling and i would have seen it.


I Feel if any accident had occurred from any these situations i would have been awarded no fault with insurance. So why can he fail me on them?

cheers for the words of encouragement i will be sticking at it I posted that today as soon as i got in from the test and was just really pissed off and probs sulking as thats another few weeks wait and £100 notes down the drain
