cossie916 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 3rd time, but I did the first two before they cancelled them for bad weather and managed a 20ft skid in torrential rain on the emergency stop on my first one!On the second one I nearly got hit by a car doing 70-80mph in a built up area and even the examiner was gutted to fail me as I was gingerly pulling out of a junction between parked cars and he appeared round a bend! I wasn't very happy to fail for that!Third one was ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleedubber Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 3rd time for me.....1st I failed due to not keeping with flow of traffic( basically not going fast enough)....I'd had my bike stolen 2 days before test date and borrowed one from a local bike shop, picked it up an hour before test...speedo was broken, so ended up being overcautious with speed !!! 2nd.....got cancelled .....was told when I got there...great eh 3rd....flying colours, although we didnt quite have the same system as now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 3 times...first buggered up my turn in the road spectacularly.... 2nd was cancelled due to bad weather and intercom failure and I got knocked off by some dozy tart on the way back to the riding school and the 3rd time with cancelled due to examiners illness and 4th flying colours. But only really counts as 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightycaz Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 On the second one I nearly got hit by a car doing 70-80mph in a built up area and even the examiner was gutted to fail me as I was gingerly pulling out of a junction between parked cars and he appeared round a bend! I wasn't very happy to fail for that! Ive never understood this on test's, My missus failed her forst car test coz someone cut her up at a roundabout and she had to slam on the anchor's. Surley if its someone else's fault and you survive/don't have an accident or completely avoid the moron in a car then you should pass with flying colours due to the fact you were aware enough to see the hazard coming and also have the skill to avoid it?
