Another and last day over with driving test tomorow morning
Back to the reversing area and did a couple more. Needed 1 shunt on the 1st but second go better. So thats 5 goes at the reverse and all ok I think I’ll be ok on this but who knows!
Then on to the uncouple/recouple, 1st one pin didn’t drop again so back into cab and really gave it some hammer and hey presto it dropped but then had trouble remembering the correct order of what to do. Really started to worry about it but second go (and final before test ) did go better so fingers crossed.
Then it was up to Harrogate and Knaresborough. Really intense today and hard work we seemed to hardly ever stop.
Got told off for making a car stop and wait on roundabout. I was told I would fail for that but I was on the roundabout before the car but because he was going faster than me and a Peugeot 406 is much shorter than the 18ton truck with 10ton trailer I was driving he caught me up! If thats the rules then fair enough but seems a little unfair to me. Also happened again with a Jag that was moving a bit, I did have the sun dazzling me and just didn’t see him until I was commited to entering the roundabout He did take me by supprise. Hope this doesn’t happen on test or it will be bad news
After dinner we went into Wetherby town and a small ind estate, quite tight and loads of parked cars. Again quite tiring and lots of concentration. A bloke on his C+E test came the other way with the instructor that passed me last month on Cat C, hope thats a good omen
At least I feel a lot calmer this time that I did for Cat C the night before.
Will post what happens tomorrow.
