Back in the 70's when you took a test with NO training most people failed because they made habbit mistakes.
The best advice was too ride the week before as if you were on your test.
You looked a dick head but once passed you went back to being a lunatic again.
Back in the early 70's you did not have to have mirrors fitted on the test. People actually removed them for the test so they would remember to look behind..

Q - How does the examiner know how much braking you are using? A - He doesn't
If it was the rear wheel that locked I would suggest applying a small amount of rear brake, the examiner will only see that your foot has applied pressure to the lever, so that you're not even really using the rear brake. If it was the front, then don't squeeze so hard, apply a bit of pressure so that the pads bite the disc and the weight is pushed over the front wheel, then apply further pressure until just short of stopping, then release some pressure to stop the nosedive. You will pass as long as it safe, legal and under control. Remember it is just a quicker stop than normal, it's not as if some pillock has just pulled out in front of you so you are not going for the shortest stop record.

nicko600- the examinar is just off the kurb when he puts his hand out for the emergancy stop. and the the only reason i locked up was because i never used any back brake at all i never do so its a habbit tbh, but tomorrow i will be using it a lot.
igbell-like i said just off the kurb and sticks his hand acrose the road
