Failed my mod 2 ....Gutted

Just on the off chance that some legal eagle is out there.... I failed my test on Monday for not been far enought to the right when exiting a one way street.... 20 inches stood between me and my license ....

Do I have any redress as the signage is completely hidden from veiw by over hanging trees ,,,!,, I've taken pictures of this and will be raising my concerns..but don't expect much...

Bit of back ground I'm 42 and drive a ambulance for a living, so would like to think I have good knowledge of the Highway Code, plus I've done 4000 on my ybr 125 since April.

nope.

AFAIK even if the instructor fails you for "being a bit gay" it can't be overturned, the best that can happen is he/she gets a rap on the knuckles and you really don't want to take a test at their center again.

Isn't there an appeal system where you can get a free retest if found in your favour?

if the examiner thinks your not ready they will fail you for silly things. contrary to popular belief they are not out to fail people they are there to make sure your less likely to kill yourself once you have the pass certificate and move onto a larger machine. it makes not one bit of difference how much practise time or your previous driving skill regarding 4 wheeled vehicles.

there is no point arguing so suck it up and try again.

Yup.. I can get a free test if I'm successful ...however I have since my test found 4 other riders who failed their test in the same place, with the same examiner....surely this is evidence enough to ask questions if the test was carried out in the correct spirit and FairPlay .... And I hope he doesn't need an ambulance any time soon !( that last comment is a joke, of course I would give him the best treatment as I would any patient)

Take it on the chin and chock it up to experience similar thing happened to me on my driving test many many years ago - not nice when it happens but now you know.

Good luck next time.

Cheers matey.... I know I'm bitter and twisted at the moment, next attempt due beginning of Sept

Seems wrong that if you get a speeding ticket and you appeal because the sign was obscured it can be withdrawn !

Lance is right if they want to fail you (cos they don't think you have it yet) they'll find domething to try u on. Sounds like the examimer knows this spot is good place to get folk. Its **** I know but take some comfort in knowing you're not the first and won't be the last

I failed my car test in similar ways, zero minors and one major. Felt robbed but got on with it and passed next time.

Kudos on the job mate, maximum respect to you and those in that career.

more to the point how many did he pass that day/week. people seem to forget that they do their job day in day out so see a lot of different riders. on the day it was his call not yours. he failed you for a reason like a lot of others and is nothing to do with who you are its to do with if he thinks your in control and are safe.

think of it as him potentially stopping you from having a ride as a patient in your ambulance. you must have seen hundreds of bikers in the back of your work vehicle so you should be more grateful to his decision.

unlike a speeding ticket you cant get another life, it's a one time only deal.
