that is misery.

i did the same, but the examiner was sure that i didn't need to have put my foot down to stay in control of the bike during the manouvre so he let it go.

it's a largely irrelevant manouvre anyway in day to day riding anyway so why is it part of the test? i suppose that it does demonstrate a basic control, but putting you rfoot down just as a confidence boost rather than to help the manouvre should not be a fail for the whole test if everything else went well imo.
