Why cant i pass? MOD1 disaster tale.

tell them the cones are in you way you was just moving them, im sure they will understand! hitting them means your going to fast slow down and relax, also remind yourself you are passing this time.

Again gratz .

Goto the AR09 :P

The Mod 1 pass lasts as long as your theory certificate i think. so you could take your mod 1 test a day before you theory certificate runs out and your mod 1 would be invalid the following day

Excellent! See, if you keep breathing you'll succeed!!

Congrats! I'm right in the middle of DAS too... pished up Mod 1 (foot down on U-turn... gah) but then passed 2nd time with no faults whatsoever. Had my Mod 2 a couple of days ago, pished that up (this is getting expensive...) but have got my re-test in a couple of weeks. Mod 2 is waaaaay easier, just ride normally and have fun! I failed because of one silly mistake (misjudged speed of an oncoming L-plate cage at a junction, pulled out on him), I got one other minor... so long as you enjoy it and be sensible you've got nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Cheers Harpo x I feel much more relaxed about mod2 than mod1! You're right about the expense, i really can't afford to muck up mod2 and it's also really frustrating that you have to wait 10 days before you can re-test. It sounds like you're sure to pass next time and hopefully by friday lunchtime i'll have my new license, my sv insured and be enjoying my first ride out, fingers crossed and good luck to us both

well done passing kellyjo. Don't envy anyone doing the mod1 cause of the added nerves and expense.

I have no idea if it actually does anything or if it's just a placebo but it seems to do the trick.

What about 5 or 6 pints to settle the nerves a bit?

lol after the pints there will be no more cones and you'll probably find you can ride like a god lol

Nerves could have ruined my mod 1. I was very very tense, and my right leg was shaking so much i thought id kick a flipping cone, or push the brake too hard.
Good luck with mod 2, ive got mine on wednesday.
