Totally depressed - Fail!!!

serenity13 · 10-20-2008, 01:09 PM

Took my test this morning, failed on u-turn....by putting my foot down

; 5 minutes into the test.. and bang!! Then after we get back to the test centre, i find out my riding was great with only 1 miner for appropriate speed oh wonderful

, doing 30 in a 40 zone until i saw the repeater, doh

After this my instructor asked me to show him the road; on seeing it he got off his bike and measured it himself, and it was just on!!!. grrrrrr

SV650 please wait for me, i will come and take you away one day

Tough luck there. Never mind, now you have the test experience so book it immediately when you become eligible and for sure you will pass.

Good luck for the retest

Dont get down about it - I failed my first test (nervous tension) but my second one, I thought f**k it, relaxed and flew through it.

You know you can do it, just go out and prove it to the examiner

I remember well the day, (sadly not the date other than it was September '85 and it was a Friday

), I went for my test.

Riding from Pickering to Beverley, (the only place local to me back then for the bike test) and stalling at almost every junction, wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

I threw up in the loo before it was time for my test and didn't feel well at all

But I passed because I figured tney wasn't going to take me out back and shoot me if I failed.

You will get there serenity

From what you've said the rest of your ride was spot on so you can do it.
