UPDATE- Failed Mod 2 :(

[rob_scott92]

Well i did it! 3rd time lucky and have mod 2 booked for thursday with a lesson on tuesday. I say lesson, they booked a full day which is a bit too pricey ontop of the mod 2 fee. So i'll try and cancel and just get a few hours to get used to the routes and general practicing.
Any tips to look out for with the examiner (Maybe little things they may do to try and trip me up (not literally ofcourse, as that would be dangerous! )

So yeah! soon to be gone L plates hopefully

One thing for examiners, Look confident but not too confident.

Look comfortable on the bike.

For example

Balls of feet on rests

Arms slightly bent

Looking where your going

And good luck.

It's true that, one of the first things he said to me after passing was that I looked like a competent and confident rider.

I don't know why, I was shitting me sen on the test!

Well, as per title, failed mod 2 but it really wasn't my fault! (yeah i know everyone says this but it really wasn't!)

We were going down a one way road, 2 lanes i'm in the left and stupid old biddy in the right hand lane (you may see where this is going) Currently stopped at traffic lights, they change to green, i do my rear observation and away i go. Probably about 10 seconds after this and the examiner shouts CAR over the radio. For some wierd reason this old woman decided that she'd change lanes straight into me . Cant quite remember what i did ie. slow down or speed up to get away from her but i did anyway. Rest of the test was absolutely perfect and i am mega dissapointed to say the least
His reason for failing, and what he put on the sheet was change in direction Correct me if i'm wrong but surely its a good thing if i change direction when a cars about to hit me??? Isn't that what the swerve is all about . Its not like i made her change direction either.
He said i should have done a shoulder check, what! Do a random shoulder check when i'm not changing lanes or anything and look out for blind women?
Anyways, i am royally pissed off right now, yes, maybe i could have done something more but is it really worth a fail for someones else' mistake? Told my instructor and he said it may be worth appealing, would this be a decent option? somehow i think 17yr olds opinion against a qualified examiners won't really do much.
Any opinions appreciated
Rob

And breath......

Passed my mod 1 in chester today first time, looking to do my mod 2 in the next week or so, huntington rounderbout (sainsburys) is a right Pain in the arse !

[rob_scott92]

Ah another chester tester
I found that sainsburys roundabout alright tbh, amazingly the examiner told me to stay in the middle lane which i thought was odd . Did you have Ted for your mod 1?
What time were you there? My test started at 1, may have just missed ya.
Good luck with your mod 2 mate, Look out for crazy blind people outside of bill smiths
