Failed Mod 2 - Gutted

[MCW]

It was purely nerves. My hands appeared to have been abducted by aliens and replaced with 2 bunches of bananas that couldn't coordinate clutch and throttle. I suddenly became unable to pull away smoothly, and if I sent a video of my hill start to You've Been Framed, they'd probably pay me double.

I've not had these problems at all during training. On the plus side, I had no faults other than 3 million moving off ones and he said I dealt exceptionally well when a lorry careered onto a roundabout and nearly took me out broadside.

Am gutted. I can do it. I just can't show that to the examiner.

[MC]

Unlucky At least you've experienced the test so next time should be less nervous, plus less pressure to pass first time.

I was lucky and passed first time, but I was a complete bag of nerves too, but as soon as I put my helmet on and got on the bike, I felt much calmer.

Were you riding the bike you usually ride or another bike?

Now you know what they want you'll be calmer next time.

It's all just a ride out.

Keep at it - don't let those nerves get to you again. You did MOD1 - that's the hard one..

Deep breaths and book it again...

Don't worry! Book up another as soon as possible. You know what to expect so it won't be a complete surprise next time round. I took two attempts due to nerves and I felt a lot more confident the second time around.

You can do it!

Unlucky.

I was like that, until I got onto the bike.

It's literally just a normal ride, where you have to ride where you are told, you'll have to convince yourself this!!

Good luck on number 2

you will get there buddy, it is the old cliché but it really is just another ride, and remember the examiners are a lot more friendly than the car examiners. they are bikers to and want more safe bikers on the road as well. just book it up and go again!

[MCW]

Thanks everyone, I have booked another one for 23rd May at 08:10. Rush hour, but it can't be any worse than yesterday, when there were roadworks, closed roads, idiots reversing up one way streets and rogue lorries careering onto roundybouts....

Hokum, it's a school bike as it's DAS.

Rogerborg, am so traumatised I can't tell if you are insulting me or not. Are you going to make it to the BBQ this year? I think you should.

[Rogerborg]

La, I speak toothpicks, not poniards. A tickle, not a stab.

Rush hour sounds ideal, lots of sitting in queues. Better yet if you can lose the examiner.

I failed my mod 2 on a damn silly error, it's the done thing. "I'm pleased to tell you..." makes it all worthwhile.

now you know the route for the MOD 2 test where you are, maybe go out and ride the route on your own a few more times ? just so you feel more at ease and then when you retake the test hopefully your nerves wont be so bad

Not always, the town I did mine in had 20 set routes for car test and only 2 set routes for the bike test

And the only difference was missing a main road. Even if they use multiple routes they probably won't vary a huge amount, spending time around the area will help

Not that it matters cus the op can't do it anyway
