Shouldn't you have been more towards the centre of the T and not to the left hand kerb? Bit of a ****er for failing though after a good ride.

I think you have a right for an explanation don't you? Tho I guess if you didn't ask at the time, the moment has passed.
On the upside, you've shown you can ride a bike so next time you should be confident that you'll sail through it.

Not sure why DSA have done it again?
But sorry to hear you've not yet passed. Good luck for the next one!

If positioning was the only cause, he must have seen it as lack of control as you came close to the kerb. I wouldn't have thought that would count as a major fault though. Shame about the costs but good luck next time.

That sounds incredibly harsh given the no minors. Good luck for the next time.

You sure you didn't have your indicator on to go left?

Sorry to hear, always a pain to have to fork out more dosh but by the sounds on it you'll have no problems passing next time. Hats off to you for doing it at this time of year though!

Better luck next time, at least you can still ride your 125, not like a car test where you are still reliant on other people to go with you.

apparently i was too far left when i was turning right, had full controll of the bike, and 10 inch's from the right hand kerb!!!o and indicator was for right , ah well booked again for the 17th as you have to wait 10 days and my thoughts on doing it this time of year as i would get a bike a little cheaper?
