1st time was foot down in U turn. Doh!

2nd time was observation at junction, someone changed lanes at last minute without indicating and should have expected/allowed more room.
3rd time passed. Mr. Green

The person that did their test the same day as me failed for lane discipline on roundabouts and leaving an indicator on. Thumbs Down

I failed on the emergency stop. Stupidly locked the rear brake up. Second time passed with flying colours 3 minors.

A common one is leaving the indicator on, another is lack of life savers, another is lack of rear observation before a maneuver.

I passed first time but got one minor mark for being too close to a car in front. It was raining so I guess I'd not took into consideration the 4 second gap rule.

I failed my first test for two things, one was using the outside lane on a roundabout to go right and the other was creaping forward at a set of traffic lights on red and the examiner though I was going to go through them.

Passed second time though with flying colours Very Happy

I positioned myself in the middle of the right lane when turning right on a roundabout. I should have been on the right hand-side of the right lane.

1st time ER-5 failed on falling off at u-turn, forgetting to cancel my indicator when moving off on my hill start from the side of the road, lack of clutch control when moving off from a junction.
2nd time ER-5 failed by putting my foot down on the u-turn.
3rd time passed on my CG125

Only failed it the once, just need to take it again Razz

I was coming up to a juntion, two lanes ahead and a car and van over the arrows on the road telling me which lane to get into.
I moved into the outside lane (thinking it was "straight ahead and turn right),looked over my shoulder and indicated ,got into the lane and realised the lane was for right turns only and i wanted to go straight on.
Indicated,mirrored to move back into the inside lane to go straight on..... But forgot one thing..... bloody lifesaver over the LEFT shoulder !.... One major fault !

Instructer said to me after " Always remember your lifesavers and dont bloody switch lanes !!!!!" Laughing

My car test took me 4 attemps to pass it ....But thats another story ! Very Happy

I passed but received a minor for swerving around some broken glass on the last junction before the test centre. The guy said I over reacted, don't know why I did swerve though because they werent my tyres for f@cks sake!

Failed the second for observation - lifesavers when moving out to overtake stationary vehicles.

Failed the first for forgetting a lifesaver when moving across into a left hand lane. Trouble was I didn't realise I was _changing_ lanes at that point, I just thought I was adjusting my road position as the road widened for a mini-roundabout. The lane markers started just after I'd done the move!

Passed second with 5 minors.

Good luck to those who are taking/retaking!
