sorry john abs
What actually happened then weeman? We’re you told to stop, did he tell you ya done something wrong? Your mad for pulling the pin early, but hay it’s done! Have a bitta time out and clear the head
Christ will you lot stop arguing. Personally I would take note of what the LGV trainer says but that’s me.
Back on topic, bad luck Weeman. As for cancelling the test, that’s your choice, if you didn’t feel comfortable doing it then who are we to argue? Its your time and money. In my opinion if your head is in that state then there’s no point carrying on with the test to then go and make more mistakes which could cloud your memory for next time. Best to just pull the plug and wipe the slate clean and start again. Good call my friend.
Glad you got straight back on the horse and re-booked it straight away, best thing to do. Whats happened has happened, can’t change it so learn from it. No point losing sleep over it. Now just concentrate on getting your family back well and prepare for the next test.
Best of luck! 
Peter Smythe:
My view is that it’s a total waste of time carrying on with a test when you know, without the slightest shadow of doubt, that you have failed. A couple of reasons for this: you will spend the remainder of your test beating yourself up for your earlier mistake,
Whether or not a trainee continues to beat himself up over a previous mistake surely depends on the individual doesn’t it.
I’m surprised to hear an experienced trainer saying that someone should just give up rather than encouraging them to try to put the mistake to one side and make the most of what would now be a practice test.
Obviously if a driver is so shaken by a mistake that they cannot go on they might as well pack it in but you would have to ask how they would cope in the day to day world of a driver when things go wrong

Its OBVIOUS that his head was not in test mode, let alone driving mode, due to personal issues at home and when something went awry which was very likely to happen in those circumstances he decided that he had tried but enough was enough
I’ll bet he would like to have delayed the test if it did not mean financially losing out but as cancelling without penalty was not an option then he decided to give it a shot
Fair play to him 
The instructor seems to have also seen it this way
Instructors see so many go for test that they get to know what state their trainees are in and what is reasonable to expect for each one
cheers for support guys and gals, the truth i pulled the pin after stop start fail,
Cheers Abs Weeman
I think this has been just about done to death now! My comments really refer to the occasions when the reverse has gone horribly wrong so there is no doubt about the outcome eg clouting a cone or failing to get it in the box.
Once on the road, it’s difficult for a candidate to 100% know what fault is going to constitute a fail so I always go for “put it to one side and concentrate on the rest of the test”.
Best of luck next time and hope the family get better very soon. Pete

For the 1st time in 30 years I will say It’s not your fault you failed , It’s mine.
I completely misread your state of mind which is pretty much everything when it comes to this test.
I have already authorised a refund of the retest fee for next time. This test was not about the driving it was about your personal world.
You are amongst the top 5% of candidates I have ever trained. That is a very very high standard.
I believe that you and me together in the cab before the next test will get this. I know you think the same.
Keep the faith big boy
Cheers John
Im very greatful for your support & having faith in me,
Cheers Abs
