whoop whoop whoop whooooop whoop whoop whoop whoop

I passed my test today!! Laughing Dance! Laughing Dance!

I got 3 minors, I knew I had them as soon as I done them

Missed a life-saver
Kinda false started my u-turn
and stopped to close to the back of a lorry at traffic lights (that was something I'd never come across before and I'll know for next time Wink )

Now I just need to get myself a nice little ER-5 or CB500.

Well done!

Where abouts did you miss your life-saver? I always thought missing one was a major i.e. immediate fail - or is it up to the examiner?

Congratulations.

That's a tough one, I remember thinking, "Doh, I should have looked over my shoulder there." Might have been a rear observation and not a life saver, I can't for the life of me remember where I done it.

I did think the u-turn was going to be a fail. I went to go but didn't have my balance and kinda abandoned the start.

When the examiner said I'd passed, I had a massive sigh of relief, thought he was gonna say I had failed again!

Congrats - you did well to get away with the missed life saver or maybe it was just a shoulder check. I know when I did my training I go it right it the neck from my instructor about leaving enough gap - two second rule and all that Laughing Thumbs Up

Thanks guys.

I think a thundercat would be a bit big, I'm looking at £800 insurance on an ER-5 which is about as far as I can stretch.

It wasn't really 2 second following distance on the lorry, I came up behind him at the lights and stopped too close.

2 car lengths, were you failed for being too close or too far away?!

That is a pretty big space to leave.

Well done on passing the test.

Get a quote from www.4counties.co.uk, best to ring them up though, £380 tpft for me on an ER-5 at 17 with 1 NCB.
