That is tight, since from what I've heard, most people are taught to use every inch of available space, low curb or not.

I had the examiner in the car because it was ****ing down with rain and cold. Made it easier though as I had to keep stopping for him to keep up!

Good luck

I had a swine testing me. Refused to let me take it the first time around because my CBT was filled in wrong - the expiry was one day too late so it was valid for two years and a day. Even though the instructor was there and said he'd filled it in!

Squeezed through a gap that was allegedly too small early on in the actual test (what would he make of filtering into London?

) and got minored for it.

He told me afterwards that it was very nearly an instant fail and that he'd decided if I got another minor in the rest of the test he'd make it a fail...

...then he asked me to U-turn the bike on a passing place. When I pulled up it never occurred to me he might ask for the Uey 'cos the road was so narrow, so I only left about 18 inches of wider road in front of the bike to get sorted out before turning. All that 'trundle along, get your clutch set and do it in your own time' stuff went right out the window.
Was the nastiest wobbliest little turn ever but no foot down and got the pass
