Failed my test!

[treesey200]

Hi all well i failed my test yesterday gutted!!

am going to go in for my re- test as soon as I can but can not get a re-test date for several weeks as its all booked up.

I would not mind doing my next test closer to home (St Helens, Merseyside) as i did my DAS and test in rhyl on a mini break holiday.

Does anyone no of any training centres that I can go to. I dont need to do the DAS again I would like to have just the bike hire, test and a couple of hours training before it.

Sorry to hear this - but take heart, I failed twice...and the second time was just for leaving my left indicator on, once, past a left hand junction I wasn't taking.

It just makes passing all the sweeter when it happens. God luck for the next one.

It happened to me. Failed and was gutted on the 5th July. Got a cancellation on the 26th July and passed. No additional lessons needed.

You'll do it

GOOD LUCK

Unlucky Helen, hope you pass next time

I know there's a test centre in Runcorn, and you could try Glynn at Safebiker https://www.safebiker.co.uk/index.html for a refresher lesson or two and bike hire.

Bit further out, here in Warrington I can strongly recommend Graingers but I'm not sure if they do single lessons or bike hire, you might have to pay for the entire course - although you could take their shortest cheapest course and they also offer a guaranteed pass scheme just in case! https://www.grainger-som.piczo.com/?cr=1&rfm=y You can always ring Malcolm and ask.

Oh, bad luck on failing, Helen.

If it's any consolation, I failed my test the first time too. I'm an old bloke and never thought I'd ever pass a motorbike test at my age. But, I did - on my second attempt

So, I wish you the very best of luck for your next test

hi helen sorry to hear about the failure I have put a post up in the general page about this (well kinda) I failed mine on the first attempt but don't worry as my instructor said up to 67% fail first time but second time is better % odds. you cannot do a retest i believe for 10-12 working days after the failure but you can take your test anywhere i took my 1st one in kettering then second one in northampton the company I used did that as some test centres can get booked up real long.I would practice what you failed on by your self and then go to a training school too but they might wanna see you ride 1st to decide upon the next course of action as they dont want you to wast money by putting you in for your test when you may need more tuition than you think and they need a pass rate to for other students so it works both ways best wishes for the 2nd test..

p.s the second retest with 3-4 hours training,hire of bike was £165 for me

[no_shad]

I failed my first test too.

The retest cost me £120.

well i have managed to organise a re-test on the 25th august at rhyl again so fingers crossed will be 2nd time lucky for me!
