JoshTimmins Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Just like JoshRS i failed on the uturn too.. although this examiner was grumpy and if was an other examiner i woulda passed...... uturn:checked both sides.. started to pull away did u turn, thought great.go back in to the room after and he said i moved to far forward and shoulda done another life saver Other than that was perfect gutted and now i gotta scrape cash togather to try again.. now i am gonna miss thing next month oh well beter luck next time..A very angry Joshx Quote
Pete Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry to hear that Josh, bit of a bummer to be sure Mind you it's not all bad - atleast you got the hardest part spot on which was the control of the bike itself and didn't put a foot down! I'm sure you'll nail it next time fella, and when you do it'll be all the more sweeter (I failed my first test on the u-turn as well ). There'll always be more meets that you can go along to so don't worry about it. Quote

Pete Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I know the feeling. I had a bit of a w**ker of an instructor. The other lad passed when I failed and the instructor thought it'd help somehow by taking the piss, until I told him he was being rude and if he spoke to all his students like that he wouldn't be in business much longer!Anyway, it's a killer and peed me off for a day or so. When I failed mine I 'got over it' by realising that I got to ride a bike again soon and do some more training (because I couldn't afford my own bike at the time)!!One day it'll just be in the past and you'll think "that examiner was a bit of a tit, but I've passed now so it doesn't matter".

Sucks to hear that you had a tw*t of an examiner though. I know it doesn't help, as i too am a young poor person using every single penny i have to pay for petrol, but like its been said you have everything nailed, it just wasn't your day today. There's a reason for everything Good luck for next time dude! Quote
Susieque Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Aaww what a shame! Examiner must've had that Monday feeling! Quote
urbanmark Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Unlucky mate. When you pass now it will be even sweeter! Quote
Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Its so disappointing when you think you've done it OK to find out you failedleast you know what to expect next time round, best of luck with it Quote
Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry to hear that It is very clear as to observations on U-Turns..........Standstill U-Turn Mirrors, Lifesaver then Turn Rolling U-Turn Mirrors, Lifesaver move forward then Mirrors another Lifesaver then Turn Were you clear as to what the Examiner needs to see?Like all Excersises on Module 1, you need to Imagine you are on the road, so simple things like moving from a standstill need effective observations, even on the site £150 sounds expensive for a Re-Take Module 1? £140 for Bike Hire and Instructor? Is that a full day? Quote
Juniper Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Sorry to hear you didn't pass. Good luck for next time Quote
