toon83 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 ffs sounds like you have had a right arse for an examiner mate... next time stop and pause for abit before making a move so he cant possibly say you havent stopped... best of luck for your 3rd time mate i had him last time and he was an complete twat but this time he was in a very good mood, he was helpful in calming me down before i even started and he even stated he could of failed me on another occasion but he could let it sly. i later found out that he nearly lost his life @ that stop signit was the easiest ride possible even when i went the wrong way twice but yet again i made a stupid mistake and failed and i am very angry with myself. i thought i did stop but he was way too positive to be out to get me or make something up2 minors 1 for getting too close to the path which he said i could of failed but he said it would be a shame to fail on that, 1 for something to do with turning lefton a positive note at least i finished this one and on the ride i felt really confident in my ability as a rider but made a very silly mistake which cost me(a ps3 and 2 tickets as well lol) but i have rebooked for the 14th i will now kill some locusts on gears and take my anger out the idiots on xbl Quote
Lynn Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Bad luck Toon, you sure you didnt have the same examiner as me? as everyone says third time lucky Quote

Reaper Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Suffered mate. Those stop signs are a bitch are`nt they,it is so easy to slow down then carry on if nothing is there,but the sign says STOP.Easily done and as a car driver for 30 years i still do it.Good luck next time. Quote

Reaper Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Its a niggly point isn't it,surely if nothing is coming you should be able to carry on but as it is a test you need to stop.Bloody test`s,i hate the things.A far better way would be to assess a rider on merit by his examiner,test`s make people nervous,me included.I have yet to do mine so its a lesson well learnt i suppose.

Rollingskies Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I remember being "failed" on my training for doing just that. I didn't fully stop. It's tempting when you see it clear. Quote
Remy Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Aww really sorry, you WILL get that test - good luck for the next time Quote
