I also got told the same thing by my instructor.

Bad luck,

Bring back the old 4 times round the block and an emergency stop. No messing with roundabouts etc. Only obstacles the examiner can run between.

lol, no mate, my name is Saul but i'm not from Bristol so you must know another one! which is rare!

It wasn't the fact I went the wrong way that failed me, it was that I was in the left lane and went right, said it was dangerous which, had there been traffic it would have been especially on a bike so fair enough.

I'm going to book it again for the next available but i'm a bit worried about leaving it a few weeks then sitting the test. I won't forget how to ride will I or will I need more training?!

how about: book your test so you know the date, and then have a word with your training school and ask if you could get a few hours of refresher lessons in just to polish up maybe?

Hope this helps
