Certainly was, got the bad back to prove it

Passed car first time in 1969 and class two first time in 1976. No it didn’t have a handle that you swung to start it either, I had to stoke the boiler instead! Back then they were very keen on you making progress, I was turning right at a junction and spotted a motorcycle coming from the left so waited for him to pass, immediately the examiner commented that I could have got across easily and my caution may have caused traffic to build up behind us but I was more concerned about the bike rider! Still passed me though.

[jackg]

[ttx_boy]

Yep,i passed first time.
Started to learn on monday,all day, then all day tuesday and wednesday morning,had my test wednesday afternoon at 2.00pm.
I also passed my car and motorcycle test first time.

Never mind, TL, you’l be OK the second time Im sure.
I passed my C+E the first time but that was due in part that my ole man was paying and so it made me more determined not to mess up…
Car test though, (the easy bit!) I didn’t get right until the 3rd time!
If there was one bit of advise I would give, it would be to take your time. I know people always say that same old chesnut but it really is ‘key’ when driving a truck and no more so than when your going backwards.

Cheers yea bit annoyed at myself just get confused at the opposite lock, monday was the first day ive really driven anything that bends lol! But going to practice now until my test and fingers crossed get it next time! Crazy test route took me right through Tuckingmill, right opposite the police station that tight left down by Tyack’s in Camborne, A30 off at Tolvaddon, through Illogan, Portreath, North Country and Avers Roundabout and handled all those manouvers fine!

Passed Car, class 2 & class 1 all first time around.

Car test was probably OK but a long time ago so I’ve forgotten. Class 2 test was very shaky, loads of minors and tbh I scraped through. Class 1 was a much better test, completely relaxed and it showed.

You’d have to have something wrong with you not to be able to pass a forklift test…

[degsy4wheels]

Passed all mine 1st time. My dad took me out before i did my c+e and i practised reversing his caravan. It did help, and the only thing the examiner got me for was too hesitant, and mirrors cos i didn’t visibly move my head enough when checking the mirrors. As for the hesitancy he said it takes a while to know what gaps you can and can’t get through, so he gave me a minor for it. Just take it slowly on the reverse and if you need the shunt, take it

[scantheman]
