So after months of lurking about I finally registered...
Took my Mod 1 this morning and failed, got through one and a half figure of 8's didn't quite give the bike enough power, wobbled and put my foot down *sigh* disappointed but I guess that just means I'll be spending a bit of time in a quiet car park..!
Also got 2 minor's, 1 for the manual handling (I thought it was getting too close to the cone so pushed it forward a little before bringing it into the 'garage') and 1 for doing 49km/h on the hazard avoidance...
Re-booked the test for next Monday, hoping I pass and that I get Mod 2 done and passed before my birthday

Don't worry, many people fail their MOD1 first, second even third time. I guess just think of it like a practice, and after all, a practice worth £15.50 which is by far the best deal around looking at training school prices.
Do you have the diagrammes? Do you have cones?
Practice more and you'll be fine I was using more revs then I usually do anyway just incase such a thing happened which was good practice for the tests esspecially since it is kick start only

Eh, you were statistically like to fail the first one, women have a lower pass rate on mod 1 (but a higher on mod 2!). I don't know why, but I'd venture a guess that it's down to not giving it enough beans. As I have to keep reminding the missus, grip it and twist it like you mean it.

You don't really need cones, use anything (bottles of water, tin cans etc).
Personally I just used to take a bit of chalk up to Sainsburys and draw out the Mod1 course. That way, presuming it doesn't rain, it will be there for a few days.
Good luck, you'll nail it next time  |
I agree, I didn't even use cones, just rubbish that I found on the carpark, or visually knew that 3 yards equates approximately to the width of a car parking space. And used the overlapping paint crossed over eachother as a visual guide. And being able to do 3 yard slalomn makes the test itself so much easier. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11
