hi everyone.
ive booked my direct access for the end of the month, would like to hear your experiences, advice etc
thanks in advance
cant wait !

 

get some gear bought as turning up for your test in a tracksuit and borrowed scraped to fuck helmet aint going to give the examiner the impression you want to be giving them

 

thanks, but ive paid extra to hire all the gear needed. dont want to buy any yet, just incase i fail !

 

just be confident mate, thats all i can say.... they are looking for positive riders and good skills.
good luck..
i failed my first atempt by putting my foot on a curb and not stopping where i should.

 

Thats alright then as they should have all the proper gear, the place i used supplied a lid and gloves and that was it. I failed my first test as the bike i was given to ride had a side light out so i i didnt even get to do my test lol. I was as sick as fuck and even the instructor went in and gave the examiner it both barrels lol

 

i will check the bike over, thanks. how long & how far did you go on your test?
cheers

 

you will do several practise tests. there's nothing to worry about at this stage. just pick a good school and go with the flow, and as said be positive and confident and have fun

 

Confident safe riding is what its all about. The examiner who took me was great. If you've got road sense already you'll piss it. They usually over egg the importance of mirrors and lifesaver observations but for obvious reasons. Good Luck.

 

Just have fun mate, dont worry about it too much, all that can happen is you'll fail! No biggy.....I failed a couple of times cos i kept putting my foot down during the u turn......dont ask me why cos i can turn a bike on a sixpence! On my third time i said to the examiner "can we go and do the u turn first as i dont want to waste your day or mine"...... he said no! We did the test, everyting was fine as usual and we got to the u turn, foot down, alot of swearing etc from me! He told me to go round the block and do my emergency stop in the same place. (i was still swearing at myself) Did it, expected to go back to test centre and he says, do the u turn again..............hmmmmm, ok wasnt expecting that, did it no probs, went back to the test centre and he says"congrats, you passed!" woohooo! he said, you can obviously do the u turn easily, it was all just in your head!

moral of the story..............dont think about it too much, just have fun, your on your way to your own bike.
