Ok,

So it was test day for me. Met the instructor at 9 am, and another guy who was also doing his Mod 2, drove to Swindon for the test. All was fine and i was feeling really good after the drive out.

So on the test,

Everything was pefect except for one thing, now i dont know if you know Swindon but they have these MAJOR roundabouts with 4-5 lanes on the approach. so i found myself in the wrong lane to go straight on, Should have been in lane 2 as thats where the examiner was. So i paniced and once on the roundabout thought i could switch lanes, the only problem was that i forgot to do a lifesaver - FAIL!

Damn i was gutted. No minors.

Oh and on top of that on the ride home the front sproket on the bike i was riding snapped and sheared off! causing the chain to get caught and all while i was going around a tight bend. The bike skidded sideways and i came off at about 35mph - Sliding down the road.

I was fine thankfully, only a grazed knee. Couldnt believe it, the instuctor said in all his 20+ years of teaching he had never seen anything like this. So i had to ride pillion back to the training center.

Not exactly the best day for me, But at least im alive to tell you about it.

Roll on next test - 3 Weeks

unlucky bud. It cant be stressed highly enough but Lifesavers are one of the most important things and often are the difference between a pass and a fail as you sadly found out today.

I got back to the test centre and was told that I got a minor for lane discipline and it would have been a fail but for the fact I had a look before changing lanes.

Hi Mate, unlucky but you've learnt an important lesson, never forget that life saver!
Glad to hear you're ok after your off.
Good luck next time out!

[c_dug]

As above its best to get into the habit of doing life savers before moving. I'm on a bandit 650 at the moment and it is pretty easy to loose a car in the blind spots they are that bad.

Good luck with the next test

You know what you did wrong and I guess you were told that if you were in the wrong lane stay that lane as they can't fail you for going the wrong way, (that's what we were told).
Fortunately my examiner was really good and I had a few large roundabouts in Oxford to tackle, he actually said things like I want you to go straight ahead I suggest you use the right hand lane etc, which I wasn't expecting him to do.
Good on you for looking forward to your next test after what you went through though.

Good luck
