Nope, 2nd. i failed first time for going through a traffic light on amber. (but it was either that or slam the breaks on coz i didnt notice it in time)
My boyfriend nearly killed a cyclist (though he passed that one....)
and my friend at college didn't look out her back window before putting her car in reverse in a 3 point turn. When this was pointed out she announced "Well whoevers thick enough to walk behind a reversing car DESERVES to be ran over!"
.... Her drivng instructor is reluctant to let her retake the test 2 months on...
good luck. :thumb:
(you'll be already started by now though)
he didnt. failed
Aw sorry mate
Sorry to hear that man.
As others have said, get down to the pub and get pissed. Might as well spend some of that hard earned cash of your's while you've still got it!
Trust me, drivings great but you miss out on so much quality drinking time, i haven't been drunk/gone out for 4 weeks nearly now
Actually, they tend to go 40-50mph.... well, all the moped I've known have, including mine, my boyfriends and my friends.
But your right about the legislation tbh. I rode a moped for a year, but theres no way I could just get on a bike with no more training, even though I'm qualified to do so.
Got 12 minors and 2 majors. thats worse than i got in the 1st test!
I just went to pot really, think i beat my record for worst parallel park ever!
1 major was for the parallel park in which i kept reversing when i should have stopped and let the car behind decide weather to wait or overtake me not force them to wait.
the other major was because i went round the middle of a roundabout to turn right but it was aparently two lanes (very tight lanes though if you ask me).
Pretty gutted but nm, theres always next time i guess!
On my test i had in January i failed for undue hestation at a mini round about, basically there were 4 exits and a car at each exit so every one was giving way to their right, so not to cut anyone up i thought i would wait for someone else to go first, but apperentley i should have just gone. So afterwards i asked my instructor about it and he said he would have told me to wait and see what the other traffic are doing first, cause he's had someone fail for being in the same position and then going because it's cutting the other traffic up, you really can't win.
Aye, but they can't just hop on anything with any real power.
I was 25 when I did my motorcycle licence - despite having driven for 8 years, and having no accidents, I had to still take the entire thing - including the theory and hazard perception test. The amount of training you take in order to be limited to 400cc and 60bhp is a hell of a lot more than the car test you have to take to jump in any car of your choice - and you are then limited to 400cc and 60bhp for 2 years. To get anything bigger you have to do an even bigger and stricter test - motorcyclists don't get off all that easily... though I can see how it looks like 'ped and fifty riders get something of an easy deal - they're also the most vulnerable of road users.
Bad luck about failing the test - but look on the bright side - at least it shows that people don't get on the road until they reach a satisfactory standard
