and Im so nervous, bin out today for a couple of hours and pretty much know what to do. Only thing that I dont understand is signaling on a mini roundabout, are you expected to signal left as you leave it?

IIRC you are supposed to treat mini roundabouts the same as a major one, however at least one driving school advises that when you leave a mini-roundabout you won't have enough time to signal left.

First off relax and get some decent sleep tonight. ask your instructor to confirm in the morning before your test.

Good luck and enjoy yourself. Thumbs Up

Okay.

Try slowing it down - give yourself the time to get the signal in

If you do something that you aren't happy with - let it go and deal with what is in front of you. You are allowed a certain amount of mistakes before you fail. You don't have to have a completely clean sheet.

Secondly whatever the result - pass or fail just say thank you and don't react until you are out of the centre. One of my instructors students had to write a letter of apology to the test centre and her examiner because of her behaviour after the test.

Lastly make sure you've got all your documents. Both parts of your provisional, your CBT and theory certificate.

As you are on your own Bike I would suggest you should take insurance and MoT certificates to confirm you are legally allowed to ride this machine and it is legally allowed on the road.

On my test I indicated left if I was going left, right if I was going right, Didn't indicate if I was going straight over.

And that was fine with my examiner ^^.

I wanted Chesterfield as its my local....but ended up with Sutton-in-Ashfield...which was totally alien to me. Anyway, neednt have worried...twas all good.

Let me know how you get on..... we could arrange a meet sometime.

I have no idea how long it lasted, dont think it was as long as it felt lol, I took it on my trusty CBR 125 as I could'nt afford the direct access. Thinking about getting a GSXR and having it restricted what do you think?
