thanks mate yeah the test was surprisingly ok, i was a bit nervous at first, but they have module 1 which is slow control manouvers such as u turn and figure of eight etc and emergency stops and hazard avoidance well you swerve in between 2 cones at about 30 mph not really that difficult but i was nervous doing the u turn as u cant touch the floor its an instant fail. module 2 is a road test they follow you in a car and you follow a set route i found this to be the easier of the 2 modules simply cause im used to being on the road they are big on observations and road positioning your supposed to command your road space. i can pass you my old book on the full test of you decide to go ahead and do it it took me about 4 weeks to do the whole thing from cbt to full lisence but thats only cause of my work commitments you can do it in a week if you pass everything first time good luck and let me know how you get on :)
