Passed my Module 2 on the 3rd attempt today, i cant explain how happy and relieved i am to get in with my 33bhp license before the law changes in January! My old man used to ride bikes but he passed away in a traffic accident in 2005, so if anything, i hope i have done him proud Karma Thumbs Up

I had the same examiner as i did for my 2nd attempt which resulted in only 1 minor but failing for going through a amber light, he said he recognised me and after when i mentioned what he had failed me for he gave me the most awkard look haha.

Now looking forward to travelling up to the NEC bike show on Sunday and spending my Savings Laughing

It's honestly not that difficult, i apreciate the irony in me saying that as it took me 3 attempts but after the first one i realised the few silly mistakes i was making and well, the 2nd one was due to an amber light, on none of them did i have more than 4 minors!

good luck Thumbs Up

Remember, now you've passed your tests these are now a scoreboard, if there isn't one posted underneath it, you're job is to add one and set the record for the next rider.

I've got mine on 6th December and I'm absolutely bricking myself.
Have read every article and watched every video that has ever been posted on the internet, but still terrified. Passed my Mod 1 with 2 minors, both for undercutting the speed at 49kmh on the Hazard Avoidance and Emergency Stop, and got 50/50 on the theory so I'm probably going to be okay, but arrrgh.

Is it really as hard as I imagine it's going to be? Probably wouldn't be as bad if I could have another go before the rules change, but I'm doubting that, highly.

Anyway, congratulations! Hopefully I'll have a similar post in 2 weeks Embarassed

GL Pettsinator. I just passed mod 2 this morning Exclamation Woo hoo Dance! Chequered Flag

There's lots of good advice on here. Try and have a relaxing ride, watch your obs, switch off your indicators, keep to the speed limit, and take your time pulling away etc.

I didn't help myself forgetting where the horn was at the beginning when he asked about it Rolling Eyes

Haha as we pulled out of the test centre, I accidentally beeped my horn while trying to cancel my indicators! haha, stupid gloves!

I would only be repeating Noobriders comments if I was to give you some advice, just have a little ride around an hour before, and turn up with 15 minutes to spare, nothing worse than sitting there waiting for ages

I hope you do pass, but with your attitude towards someone who is a qualified instructor and has seen many a candidate through a test, to disagree with some good solid advice and even rank it as disagre makes me wonder if you are actually ready for the road, or are you just another nail in the coffin of biking for the rest of us with all the learning accidents you will have.

I can't help but find that sort of unfair? I've not got an attitude towards anyone, especially not a qualified instructor. I don't know where you got that idea from.

I'm nervous as I've got an anxiety disorder, not because I don't agree with my instructor, or the videos I have watched, etc.

Needless comment? I'd say so.

You gave a disagree rating to the post that I linked to, that's what. It was undeniable that the advice offered in that post was good and true, so how could it be given a disagree rating. This is what Skudd is talking about.
