Yeh - as you say £75 per hit
3 hours instructor time & insurance for the day £60
A total of £135 a pop

Luckily / unluckily the bike is mine - so this costs me nothing.
Apart from the money Hizzy it's all the wasted time where I could be out on the bike whilst the weather is good!
I also don't understand why I have to wait 10 days between test dates - this really disadvantages every candidate. I phoned the DSA today to find out why there is a 10 day exclusion (They didn't know why??? If they don't know - who does.
It's in a candidates best interest to retake the test as soon as possible surely!?!

Did 2 hill starts perfectly ( including the gradient adverse camber right turn jobby )
I then couldnt get my bike into neutral before I started my final hill start. I thought that I had kicked down into first but I was in second - hence a stall.
Fail!

Thanks once again for all the words of encouragement.
Third time lucky I guess!
I am now well and truly racked off. :( :( :(

Thanks Maz - I am in sales and I never give up! (I may feel peed off - but I turn it into a positive)
At least I've saved £250 on insurance today!

I was once compared to a Rottweiler with Jack Russell tendencies!
A person that never gives up to me is the winner all the time! Think of it as more experience!

Youll do it next time!

Chin up we are all behind you! ;)[/quote]

It used to be a case of being able to retake your test as soon as you wanted to. However, some people were taking the pi$$, and retaking the test in the afternoon, if they'd failed it that morning. The 10 day wait is to encourage you to take further training... ::)

Thanks for the clarification Mark - shame the DSA couldn't give me this response.
