You did not observe the no left turn sign - so dont beat yourself up about it. Get yourself a cancellation booked ASAP and remember what you did wrong. It wasnt anything major and you did extremely well honey - you should be pleased with yourself nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosdyke Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 thanks Goff trust a women to turn it into a positve thing i cant book until my 10days are up your so true thanks Sorry to hear you didn't pass it's pretty gutting - I didn't get my first one - coz the guy I borrowed the bike from had forgotten to renew the tax the day before (doh)!!!! Goff is right - don't let up that concentration for one minute even when you have done all your compulsories and are on the way back to the test centre - that's when it gets you - happened to me on my first car test. Sorry yeah you are time barred for ten days - but it doesn't stop you booking it now for more than 10 days hence. And one other thing - next time when the examiner says "Congratulations you've passed" - you say "Thanks." and NOTHING else - don't give him a run down on everything YOU thought you did wrong! Two minors is really good you should be really pleased - and now you know what to expect from the test - and that you CAN do it. Keep us posted. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlydan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Unlucky mate! Better luck next time. Next time don't even think you've passed until HE (the examiner) says so, that way you might keep your concentration on the job in progress.
