Mark - new to biking

[Rabb]

Welcome Mark.
Believe me I know exactly how you feel - I've been where you are now.
It's all about ticking boxes these days.
Three bits of advice from me:
1. Relax - ride as if you are out on your own / with your instructor.
2. Lifesavers where appropriate.
3. Ensure you keep to speed limits (but don't ride too slowly - the examiner expects you to ride at 60 / 70 and look confident at that speed)

Good Luck for the next one. Just remember the following phrase
Illigitimi non caribundum (it's always served me well).

Failed 1st time done all 100% correct but just before we turnt in to the test centre i got in the wrong lane for the round about after doing it correctly at the same round about before wasnt impressed proper rookie mistake but i was only 18 and hadnt driven or rode before so ill let myself off. What did you fail on?

Just want to be a boring old man sensible type of rider really. Not much to ask is it? <--- maybe you were a bit over cautious, it can happen. Stoping at roundabouts when you could use a bit of clutch control and alter your speed, find a gap, join and exit fluidly.

The Big examiner at the test center likes you to get up to the speed limit very rapidly. And obviously a good positive ride.

I failed my Mod1 first off. U-turn, which is f**kin pointless because I have yet to have used it... I was convinced I failed my Mod2, got back to the test center and I was informed I passed.

Better luck next time.
