Thanks all.
My tip is, carry on no matter what happens. Even if you think you have failed, you may not have done. I tapped my foot down on the U-turn, no reason to - I panicked. But because I recovered, he gave me a minor for it. I also had a fraction of a second back wheel lock on the emergency stop - again he gave me a minor because I recovered and handled it. I also know of someone who tapped a foot down on the slow ride, but it wasn't mentioned (examiner didn't see it) and they got a pass. Always, always carry on.
That's what I did when I hit the cone with my nearside toe - I thought that maybe I just would rock it as I touched it so lightly. Only to find when I did my u-turn the blue cone was nowhere to be seen and it had careered down the lot about 20 metres. Fail. Funny in some respects.
I got my mod 2 in a couple of weeks unless I get a cancellation. The road ride doesn't worry me so much because I have been driving for 20 years, so I know how to read the road and get all my checks in, avoid hazards before you have to deal with them...only skill I think I can potentially bugger up is the hill start. I just love my back brake. Doh!
