    MOD 2 is scary as you have the examiner right behind you. The best thing to do is ignore him in your mirrors and keep your line. If you take a wrong turn carry on DON'T try a u-turn, etc. Stay calm and keep your distances. I did it in Salisbury as well and the examiner if still the same rides a BMW. Lovely machine.

    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Thanks everyone. :-) I failed. Gutted. It was nerves. I completely effed up my hill start and most of my pulls away were sponsered by Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Never been an issue before. Purely nerves. Have rebooked for 23rd and ordered valium...
    Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

    But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason.

    I done my DAS at the beginning of the month in Swindon, to many speed change areas, watch signs, just think you have a satnav in your ear and don't watch him all the time, remember life savers and winkers on and off, the person who done it after me left his winker on to long, instant fail, just try to relax and enjoy the ride, it goes quicker as you relax, good luck

    They usually are but wont show you till they are finished as they have a serious job to do. Really they are ok.

    Swanny, show how old you are old man

    Is Mod2 today? - If so the very best of luck to you Florentine- just relax & enjoy the ride!
    oh...& be prepared to have the grin surgically removed from your face when you pass- mine is still aching from last Friday!!
