Finally... Passed MOD2 now :D

[NutsyUk]

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!

Finally passed the mod 2 just today...

I didnt want to post about it before because i actually failed the first attempt D:

But yes I passed... But only just scrapped it... With 9 minors.

But a pass is a pass and this is a huge load off my shoulders.

Now those Minors. For the most part there was nothing too bad. A couple of bad lane positioning. but the majority was for things like hesitation and going too slow...

Its funny actually my first attempt I ended up with 1 minor and 2 serious faults. The minor was because my foot rested on the break a little and made the light come on... The serious ones were 2 things...

First yellow box junction and i was turning right, i misjudged a oncoming and slightly speeding car, and caused a carfuffle... So 1 serious for that... And the other was not doing a life saver on a roundabout while struggling to find my lane.

However that examiner did say I was a good skilled rider... I rode really well. Just messed up on those couple of bits.

So yeah, this time round. I got all my observations, but just this examiner likes people to go a little faster than I was going.

I was playing it safe i thought by doing 25 in a 30, 25 in a questionable 30 residential area... stuff like that....

Anyway thank fook for that.

You passed the attitude test.

You're lucky that they didn't fail you for going too slowly.

Evil Hans your powers of deduction rival that of sherlock :p

Yep Er6f...

So looking over my pass sheet...

These 9 minors.

sure its a scraping pass... And yeah ideally I would have got less... But for the most part these minors arent bad... esp if you ignore the ones regarding speed and hesitation.

I was warned that the examiner I had really was some one who likes people to go fast. And I was taking it easy so... well yeah...

2 marks for appropriate speed 2 for undue hesitation 2 for approach speed.

Well theres 6 of the nine from an examiner who goes for that area....

I was taking it easy for a few reasons. It was a misty damp day yesterday. And I never ridden that bike in the wet. So I didnt want to push it. Im also under exam conditions where my nerves are flying. So sure im going to be extra cautious about things like speed...

At least 1 of the undue hesitations was unfair i feel... Because i was at a junction and sure there was a gap I could have taken but right behind that next car was a much better gap... So i waited for that gap...

I got one for turning right... I think i might have clipped a mini round about white marking...

1 for safety... This was the move away form behind a car. I did see a car coming from the other direction. But I also saw there was plenty of space for me to go... the examiner didnt agree.

Steering... I apparently wobbled a little when coming to a junction too slow....

But thats it. Thats the 9 marks... So really all in all while sure 9 minors. Theyre not that bad. And I didnt get any of these minors with the previous examiner. So I think i did ok...

Its certainly not worth retaking the test at 180 quid, just to get less minors :p
