Thank you so much guys, LR the vid made me laugh :slight_smile: and logic I’m printing them out now thank you very much, one less thing to think of, Steve said we might be asked about projections and overhangs, projections being the mirrors and that and the overhang ,well, being the overhang at the back or on a transporter the top deck, I suppose we’ll have to have a go at the CPC cage at some point tomorrow but I don’t see the point until I’ve passed my test first anyway on a brighter note Steve’s going to be doing the CPC hours / modules soon at a training place in Caernarfon so at least don’t have to travel for miles to and from once I have finally got through the test. Thanks again for all your help and advice guys I really appreciate it.

Yeah you’re spot on with projections and overhangs.

Thinks you should post these pics of the lorry up! :slight_smile:

Day 3

Well…what can I say…met up again did more reversing, gone over the CPC stuff, need to remember my roundabout approaches and that but not I’m really looking forward and crapp!ng it just as much…don’t understand myself at times. I’ll give a better day 3 overview tomorrow, wish me luck guys I need as much of it as I can possible get!! Cross everything you have :slight_smile: xxxx meeting up @ 7:30 tomorrow then test 8:20…bring it on! :smiley: I prob wont sleep and prob wont b able to eat my brekkie but hey!

Good luck for tomorrow Sions. Will be checking to hear you passed. :slight_smile:

Good luck Sions

  • but not I’m was meant to be but now I’m…

If I can impart any pearl of wisdom it is believe in yourself and just imagine its your friendly instructor next to you all the way around the test, worked for me!! You can do it :smiley:

All the best. Looking forward to news of a pass :slight_smile:

I’m right in saying its test day today aren’t I?

How’d you do■■? :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Tonight we have a very gutted Sions. I failed, 6 minors (2 of which were awarded…for approach on roundabouts apparently I slow down too early right but the tester sai “but I wouldn’t do anything about it” - so why bloody give me minors??) anyway the serious was Mirror change direction, I was changing lanes and there were three cars in the lane I was moving to, two of whom passed me the 3rd was lingering and holding back (this I saw by looking in my mirror…as soon as I started moving he tried to move up along side and ended up backing off again to let me in, so I’m really gutted to be honest! My instructor said it was a good mark and that it was a lot to do with luck on the day, I’m meant to phone him in a bit to see when my re-test is, No fouling up on roundabouts or gears or anything one of the other minors was awarded (I have to joke or I’ll be in tears) for indicating ever so slightly late on exiting a roundabout, one for steering (?don’t remember what I did but obviously did something?) The reversing which I was really nervous about I nailed no shunts needed straight in centre and dead on stopping, The first thing I was asked was to put my licence in the truck and to (get in obviously) and blow the horn then told to get out and asked 6 q’s before the reversing, I haven’t a clue what Graham did as his test was 2:20 (or so) so I’ll see when I phone Steve later on. Watch this space for the third day in detail and the walk through of my test.

Sorry guys!! ■■

Really sorry to hear about that :frowning:

I had the same feeling about awarding minors that they say don’t count when I failed my C+E the second time.

I was given a minor because I made a van slow down when overtaking a parked council van. I got a minor however the examiner said it was just one of those things that happen out on the road. I was a little confused why he awarded the minor and said that to me about it.

I’m sure you’re going to nail it next time! :smiley:
