Dean's C+E Diary - Peter Smythe Training

A fantastic day today. Reversing has clicked. And if it goes to pieces I still have 2 shunts (not that I’m gonna need them).

Did 2 mock tests today and got very different results. First one was a good drive with 8 minors. Second was a much better drive with a stupid mistake giving me a serious fault. I pulled up on (very clearly marked) double yellow lines. Apart from that I accrued 5 minors.

So thanks to Pete for another good day and looking forward to a Pass tomorrow.

I could hear the sound of pennies dropping from the other side of the area!!!

Stay cool and all will be well tomorrow. It’s been a good day today and you are properly ready for it.

Go have a curry or something.

All the best, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

Well I made a complete pigs ear of it and will be back on 22nd for retest. 6 minors and 2 serious. Grrrr.

Got the reverse and the coupling in one. Then out on the road. 2nd turn out of the centre and I pulled out in front of a car. Then later I pulled out into oncoming van on the angled start.

Really kicking myself. Should have known better.

Roll on 22nd I say.

Dar1976,
Sorry to read about not getting your pass today, but pleased like me you are in no way going to give up ! As my father told me when i started this ’ if it was easy everyone would be driving class 1 ’ :astonished:
Best of luck on 22nd mate :wink:

really sorry to hear you failed.

Silly mistakes you know where you went wrong and wont repeat it.

Good luck on retest.

Saved you some money now thankfully!!! in a nice way.

better luck next time mate :wink:

Definitely not giving up. Gonna give it my best shot next time.

Goodluck next time. My instructor told me never to feel too complacent as anything can happen on that 1 odd hour test. It’s not your driving you have to watch out for it’s other peoples!! anyway sure you will pass on the 22nd, goodluck.

Gutted for u mate but u will nail it next time I’m sure
