Failed my Mod 1

[-Helen-]

Absolutely gutted.

I did it all perfectly with no minors from the things I was really nervous about like moving my bike from A to B as I find bikes very heavy, to the speed bits, however on the very last task, the hazard avoidance my toe clipped the cone.

Even the examiner was gutted for me, but what can you do.

[mic]

unlucky, at least you know what to expect next time

[-Matt-]

Bad luck, at least its a very small mistake you can probably avoid next time round, and youve practiced it once now so even less chance to make other mistakes next time

[-Helen-]

I've got it booked again for next week, however it's in a different place and I HAVE to pass this time as I have my mod 2 straight after.

No pressure!!

[-Matt-]

Can't reschedule the mod 2 to play safe maybe, or too late now

[-Helen-]

It's all part of my direct access, they booked it form me. Just have to do my best and see what happens.

[-Matt-]

Ah thats a bugger well you should be alright anyway just watch out for the bastard cone

[wots]

I told you to let him punch you in the tits and do you up the Gary. But would you listen?

Still, kittens saved!

Thank you dear, I'll be sure to take your advice next time, do you think its something I should offer as soon as I walk through the door?

Bad luck......its fine margins on Mod1 and if youre not on your game its easy to fail.

You shouldn't be getting anywhere near the hazard avoidance cone to be fair. Aim at least a few feet around it and you wont go wrong

No, I had the same thought. I was so worried about going to slowly I went to fast and just couldn't get round the cone. Still gutted.

Is it at the Erith test centre, by any chance? Guy that's about 6'2, ex-copper?

Got my Mod 1 and Mod 2 together in Farnborough, never been there so not sure what to expect. Been the most stressfull few weeks of my life, just want it done now.

[nowhere.elysium]

Not the one I'm thinking of, then. Pretty sure that examiner was trolling me at the time, what with the whole 'emergency stop on tar banding, worn shell grip and patches of back ice.' It's almost as if he went out of his way to find the crappiest bit of road that he could. Still, at least I learnt what binning the bike felt like, I guess.

She started DAS, 3 days after losing her father, but insisted on pressing on as she had booked it a fortnight prior and wanted something else to focus on. Has done really well, impressed me no end, not even considering the other circumstances.

She reckons it's her Dad's way of not allowing her to ride a bike, he never knew. She only told her mother when she turned up on a bike at the weekend.

Congrats in advance for when you pass next week!

From what I have read above, you've done really well considering your circumstances. You need a big pat on the back for this!

Advantage Wimbledon were great. I did an hours free get on course with them plus my CBT and now my DAS. I have no complaints at all.

I'll let you all know what happens with my tests on Thurday, fingers crossed.

Thanks for that, was getting worried. I did my Mod 1 in Mitcham which is massive, so it's good to know that Farnborough is the same.
