Test tomorrow!

At least it isn't like when I was a kid. There was a 6 month wait for tests.

Best of luck next time

I drove perfectly on my first test, and failed. On my second I couldn't have got more wrong ; pulling out without indicating etc yet I passed with barely a minor. Luck can play such a huge part.
Good luck next time though

the fact that your still a little concerned shows that your not over confident which would be a bad thing. try to relax, follow the examiners instructions, and then apply what you've already learned. keep a level head and if you do make a mistake carry on as you would normaly do and don't lose your nerve, stay in control.
the very, very best of luck (cos that does have a part to play) and let us know how you got on.

i've just seen your piccy. i'm not bloody surprised the 125 can only reach 45mph your quite a big chap. just let me check my previous post to make sure i haven't offended you, no i don't think so.
dont worry about your test nobody in their right mind are gonna fail you.

Gutted for you. Better luck next time.

My U-turn was perfect but he said my emergency stop wasn't quick enough (but that was only a minor) and the reason I failed was because I was speeding. I asked him to explain and he said his speedo read 32mph and I was accelerating from him and was doing something closer to 40. I was looking at my speedo at the time and I was doing 32...Tops!! So, I'm very annoyed with that. Then, he went on to explain that I should've been going faster on the faster roads but the bike just wasn't capable. GRRRR!!

My instructor said that he was being very very harsh. He'd failed the girl before me for pulling out infront of a car that she argues simply wasn't there. So, my instructor's 2nd and 3rd ever fail was on the same day with the same examiner. What a bummer?! It's not like any of us could do anything about it either

Got my test re-booked for the 27th and hopefully I won't have the same guy() but if I do I'll just have to live with it.

That's my rant over...for now. Just hope my mate and I can pass next time!

that sucks man i know how you felt i thought stuff this cant be botherd then handed over £145 for the retest and thought well looks like ill be doing it again lol

my instructor was harsh on me its just the luck of the draw fingers crossed i pass this friday as ive got the bike and all my new gear

Aw RS that's tough. It will make passing all the sweeter, believe me. I failed *cough* a number of times (foot down in yewwie responsible) and now all the pain seems like ancient history, but I still remember the feeling when I passed

tough luck m8 betterluck next time sounds like he was a tough bugger but i didn't pass first time either

I was speaking to some people today about passing first time etc. Was just wondering what you guys think. Are people who take a couple of times to pass better drivers/riders because of them learning more from mistakes etc and having more test experience or are 1st time passers generally slightly better????

thats a bit of a gutter.............

good luck with the next one though
