The end is nigh!

[yaigi]

The end of my L plates is nigh! I hope!

I have my Mod 2 tomorrow!

I was just sat here working away all merrily when the sudden thought hit me, my stomach sank! I had actually managed to forget about it for an hour haha!

Sooooo, it's pissing down, but I've come into work on my bike today to make sure I'm getting all the practice I can, and after work tonight I'm going to take myself around the area the test centre is in as that's a part of st helens I don't know, and I want to familiarise myself with it.

I was just wondering, what are the most common reasons for people failing Mod 2?

Who else has there's this week?!

Most common failures are on bad observations and not cancelling indicators. Also, keep an eye on your speed, I know a lot of people who have had minors for 'use of speed' whether that'd be going slightly too fast for the situation / condition, or going too slow. Just relax and ride sensibly and you'll be fine.

Good luck!

Cool thank you, I'm just hoping all speed limits are really obvious cos I would hate to fail for thinking I'm in a 30 when I'm actually in a 40! The shame!

Good luck for your mod 2 hope it stops raining

[U_W v2.0]

forget the rain, if it is raining means you can take it a little easier.

i'll happily ride 5 under the limit in the rain if its medium. heavy rain i'll go slower till it feels safe.

aint no mountain high enough to keep me from going slow hehe. i know that makes no sense but i have sister act in my head for some reason.

I would say the most common reason for failing mod 2 is....
THINKING ABOUT IT!
"Oh! Shit! I have that chap behind me with the clip-board for a personality! HAVE to impress him..... now what does he want to see?"
And doing everything completely DIFFERENT to how you would normally ride, either becouse you think he wasnts to see pin-perfect text book manouvers, or you dont want him to think your a speed crazed loon, or that you aren't really a nervouse nancy that never goes over 30... or WHATEVER....
And TRYING to 'put on a performance'.

Give the examiner a 'Performance Ride'.....

THEY WILL KNOW that's not how you ride, even if you dont necesserily do anything that wrong... BUT they will know you are acting, and be looking harder to try and see how you REALLY ride, and will be more critical, becouse you ARE NOT SHOWING THEM.

STOP THINKING - START RIDING!

as you have been told before!

Sigh, deep pbreath... "Here we go! He'll like it or lump it Doesn't matter. I'll JUST do what I always do. WORT that can happen is he gives me a tip to do something different.... thats all.... RIGHT BRAIN OFF - REFLEXES ON!"

No pressure but I passed my Mod2 this morning so you can't let the team down.

Best of luck.
