First day C+E training. Could've gone better

Yeah it’s a minor but collectively…

It’s roundabouts. It’s not the roundabouts as such, it’s the car drivers using them with no indication or inkling as to what they’re doing and if they don’t know how am I supposed to know lol so it’s the whole you convince yourself that a car is leaving the roundabout because or their position/the way they look etc only to have them nip round on you at the last minute.

So then you stay put and that’s when they decide to leave the roundabout and turns out you could’ve gone.

Anyway as I say loads better today. Scuffed one kerb with the trailer tyres but I was told the examiner would let that slip because it’s a horrifically tight exit in a route they hardly use because it’s extremely tight.

Found out I have the 1330 test out of Garretts Green on Monday. Not sure if waiting around all day is a good thing or not lol

Hi There
Just curious if the tight roundabout you on about is the one at Tile Cross shops? I live near there and watch many CAT C+E clip/scrub the kerb, hopefully i will not be one of them :slight_smile:

I start my C+E on Saturday, where as i am nervous I am excited to.

When i done my Cat C the roundabout by the test centre with the McDonalds on near the test centre is mad as they seem to appear so fast as with the one at the NEC.

Anyway, good luck with your test and all the best.

Yeah mate. Well I think so anyway lol

You need to hug the island on the right, put the unit past the exit then hard turn left using all the paint and just missing the bollard in the middle of the road on the exit road.

Acocks Green is a laugh aswell :blush: but I’ve been told the examiners don’t use that test route so much. You watch though, today will be the day lol
