Well seem like you have had your “bad” day which is good as hopefully wont be on test day
I am going to say this once and once only…
Get out there and give 'em hell. Bunch of tossers these examiners - show then what a PROFESSIONAL driver can do.
Alan
Need to learn how to use difflocks today…
Did the test go ahead or was it cancelled due to the weather?
Come on, what happened? - we are all agog.
Alan
I’ll give you a clue…

Hope there not going to charge you for destroying that cone 
better luck next time mate.
As you say - bollox
I know the feeling, I failed my Class 2 twice. At least you know what to expect on the next test.
Did you do the reversing first or last?
I don’t need to say ‘keep at it’, I know you have more ‘bounce-back’ than a prostitute’s bed-spring

That wasn’t the actual cone, but may well have been, I got a bit out of shape on the reverse and thought I’d be able to get it back by pivoying trailer wheels round o/s garage cone, but the bugger dissapeared round the headbooard (as expected) and I brought it back far too early and knocked the cone over. Bit ■■■■■■ off with myself cos the reverse was a strong point and I panicked a bit and then got a bit too cocky.
The drive went okay, a missed l/h signal exiting a roundabout & late once, a little too fast approaching a green traffic light, mirrors good, 6 minors and a serious. I declined the un/couple as it was a bit cold 
. Oh and I didn’t touch the knob inappropiately .
All in all, good experience, as Arnie used to say “I’ll be back.”
Unlucky outcome chap. I’d feel peeeeeeed off if it had happened to me too 
Have you thought of doing it again 
Gonna rebook sometime in May when I get some more holidays.
Unlucky. Best of luck for next time
Better luck next time. Pete
Did the retest today…
I passed with 7 minors 
, wanted a better result but a pass is a pass. Nailed the reverse with a little rollback and nearly forgot to ask examiner to check trailer lights .
Thanks to John at Viamaster Training, Leeds.
NO CONES WERE HARMED IN THIS RETEST

Brilliant news mate - let me be the first to congratulate you.
Well done. Another one to earn less than the person unloading you.
But seriously. Best of luck finding work and congratulations on getting the result.
Thanks for the comments,
Now for that dream job…anyone seen my rose tinted sunglasses?

Congrats on passing your CE

So what? Now you have a licence almost as big as the truck you drive.
