I said higher not high - when you sat your test did you do your turn in the road at 31Mph or your emergency stop at 31Mph - I know I certainly did not.

I'm sick and tired of the scaremongering that's making other learners nervous of the new test when people refer to high / higher speeds and your ignorance in the new requirements shows here "Apparently" and as above "did you do your turn in the road at 31Mph or your emergency stop at 31Mph"

as you can't be bothered to get your fact's right from the info that's already on the site, I've copied & pasted what's required below

The next exercise is to enter a bend, either left or right handed depending on the layout, at 30KPH. (whatever happened to MPH?) The bend is nowhere near as sharp as it looks and should be negotiated with ease by a competent rider.
On leaving the bend the rider must accelerate to 50KPH (32mph - this is why you can't do it on the public road!) and perform a swerve which simulates a vehicle pulling out of a side road. At this point there are speed measuring devices to ensure the rider has reached the required speed. My first attempt was a miserable failure as I only reached 47KPH. I understand that on test, candidates will be given one more attempt. After the 'swerve' the rider must carry out a controlled stop within a box denoted by 4 cones

No mucking about feeling pleased with myself this time, keeping it at about 20mph in second around the curve, accelerating before I'm fully upright as I come out of the bend, through the speed trap, throttle off, flick left, hard braking, controlled stop in the box and it's 53kph this time, so 3kph above the minimum.

I seem to recall my instructor telling me to get past 25mph by the time I entered the road where he would then give me the signal.
My uturn was at about 5mph.
