cpc part 2 with 48 out of 50
so today I started my 16 hours plus test training course .
met up with Jim at the training at company at 8 this morning and jumped straight in the drivers seat and off out on the roads , plenty of driving for the first two hours along differing road types and speed limits . tackled more than my fair share of roundabouts and tight turns - going well so far apart from clipping a couple of kerbs and planning where to pass parked cars to allow oncoming traffic to pass etc.
went to the off road reversing area and did some of the walk round questions and questions for my Cpc mod 4 test . had a go at the reversing exercise and managed 7 out of 7 attempts with only 1 needing a small shunt
biggest challenge so far is making sure the rear has cleared the turns properly and making sure the mirror checks are all done - blind spot especially
day 2 tomorrow so will see what that brings
