Not done my practical but everyone who has failed seems to have buggered the u turn or had a lack of observation (A few mates had the latter)

Failed on:
Not postitioning myself REALLY over to the left when turning left at a crossroads with a car in front going straight ahead.
Not sitting on the white line when a bus stopped in front of me
Not looking "enough" at a junction. Dunno waht he means be "enough" though:) I thought left right left right was fine but obv not.
Can't remember what the other thing was. Failed twice though.
Passed yesterday!!!!!! I honestly blame the examiner. I had the same one twice and he failed me both times. A different examiner and a diff result

Failed my first test on speeding (allegedly, tho my speedo was glued to 30) and the way I passed a stationary bus.

Second time, passed with 1 minor Smile

i have some experience here:

first test. general lack of awareness, no lifesavers, not enough mirror checks, didn't do mirror signal manouvre, i just did signal manouvre.
oh and i didn't do around parked cars correctly.

second test. disqulaified because my brake light was stuck on - before you do the test make sure all the lights work correctly.

third test. failed on emergency stop although the examiner was just being arsy, it was a good stop.

fourth test. i rode utter shite and i passed. so it has a lot to do with the examiners mood.

160 quid in tests, i paid 2 mum and dad paid 2.

and that was still 100 notes cheaper than 2 or 3 days training and a test.
