i'm glad i'm not the only one! was so embarrassing. rather confused the examiner guy when i came down the road from the wrong direction.

congrats. when I passed my test, on my e-stop I also went round the block on my own, practised an e-stop out of sight and did a messy 2 wheel skid. When I came round to do the real thing I eased up and stopped spot on. I'm sure they let you go out of sight for just that reason

Err.. no. They expect to see you stop in the shortest space as possible in full control of the bike. Give a reasonable dose on the front brake (depending on the weather) and move your foot down a tad to move the rear brake. The forks will dive (as usual) without locking the front and the examiner sees application if the rear. Oddly that will stop you in full control and in a short distance.Thats it.

I certainly would not practice stops on the test IMHO. Sveedy I think you were smart to take advantage of your situation on your test and quick thinking as well. Good thinking on your part.
