Thumbs down failed again

hey

had my test yesterday at guildford. all was good on the way down was told i was abit quick at junctions and corners but other than that nothing to worry about. thought cool got a good feeling about this and waited for an hour while the girl before me went out.

she gets back passes and i go out with the same guy.

bit nervous but all good in my riding we are heading towards the a3 and go down a slip road its a blind corner and i slow down i get round the corner look over my shoulder to check traffic thinking itll be a filter coming up next then he shouts at me speed up and fails me on that

i havnt got much knowledge of A roads but i feel the guy was way too harsh on me and now ive got the wait till the 19th june for my 3rd test and what makes it worse is i went and saw my bike have fitted a nice new datatool system 4 alarm and scorpion street extreme can fitted

Dude, that's bad luck.

I am surprised you didn't already know the road though. Your instructor as part of your training should have had you doing all the know test routes so you had the advantage of familiarity of the roads.

Don't give up, and best of luck with the next one.

It took me 3 tests. I also failed for silly things... Sigh.

Better luck next time.

I aren't embarrased about admitting that. Just got upset and nervous with u turns, other than that I had clean sheets.

It's all so black and white with examiners. I failed for leaving my indicator on a bit too long. (Technically I also failed once for not getting there on time but they didn't let me do the test so it doesn't count )

Good luck for next time
