    From what you've said does sound like you are just holding on too tight rather than just relaxing.

    Vibes tend to make your hands go dead rather than cause your wrists to ache.

    WTF is a 'lifesaver'. I thought they were fruity polo-type sweets. Didn't have them on my test...only one mirror and that vibrated like hell, and often no mirrors at all. No indicators either...fun days.

    Sorry to hear that Florentine. The whole experience of the test is thoroughly unpleasant, and something I hope I'll never have to repeat- it's a nice ride ruined!
    Nerves...that's all it was down to....damn you nerves! ! (Shaking fist)
    The very best of luck to you for the 23rd

    Stay positive - As it sounds that you are.
    The best riders don't pass first time - believe me I know.
    You haven't failed - you've just defered the pass date for when the weather is better.
    Good luck on the 23rd - and keep smiling!

    Again keep at it, keep your mind on what is going on around you, and just let yourself flow through the motions. And remember to keep in the correct lane for the roundabouts! :-)
