Yipeeeeeeeeeeyahooooooooooo c+e pass

Its a PASS on C + E with a Clean Sheet , NO minors :grimacing: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Went for my C+E training, starting last Monday :sunglasses: and went for test on Thursday…Well, I am absolutely on cloud nine -STILL :open_mouth: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Earlier this year having passed my Cat C with Peter Smythes Transport Training, I decided to return back there to do my C+E training & test after having excellent training there with great results. It was great to see everybody again :smiley: :smiley: & the welcome warm & more welcoming than the weather :smiley: :smiley: (with the rain hammering down :neutral_face: ) . Peter himself started the drive giving me a chance to take awareness of what I needed to achieve :sunglasses:, & after a short while I took over in the drivers seat :smiley: & in a short time I felt realy comfortable with the handling of the vehicle :smiley: :smiley:. As the time rolled on I was shown how to couple & uncouple the trailer, & despite my efforts to hold onto the red line it (when disconnecting it), it still managed to shoot backwards straight through my hands at such a speed it would have been a match for the ‘dummy rabbit on the dog track’ :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :blush: So after that I resorted to wearing my extra grippy gloves :wink: I also found how it pays to have. Your weetabix in the morning…if only to push the ‘lines’ back on :blush: :unamused: but soon got the hang of it…then there was no stopping me :open_mouth: :smiley: :wink: As the time rolled on I felt ready to tackle on any road situation that was thrown at me without being phased by anything, & when routes were sugested to me, I would very often reply…“bring it on”!! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: such had my confidence grown, with the help of an expert trainer with many years of experience. I am not a nervous driver, nor am I overconfident either. But I was very nervous of the ‘Test’ itself :open_mouth:& the thought of having a stranger in my cab (The Examiner),scruitinizing & marking bits of paper, I found quite nerve recking :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :blush: :blush: -even though he had a job to do :confused: :unamused: :sunglasses: It had been quite a number of years since I had reversed anything quite as long as the truck + trailer, but with Peter talking me through the first reverse, it went back into the ‘garage’ without too much difficulty :smiley: After I was reversing back -practising , sometimes it was good :smiley: once or twice, here & there :confused: :confused: ,it would go Wiggley :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :frowning: then on other occasions it would go quite well :sunglasses: untill eventually the wiggle got less. On the day, with great determination ,it came back real tidy & the reverse was done & put into the ‘garage’…(between the cones) :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: The drive went tidy too, & I keep concentrating on everything that Peter had taught me throughout training, which certainly made a difference on the day, gaining a clear pass :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Without his tuition & helpfullness, I may not have done so well. This leads me now to say a very big. THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Peter and all his very kind and friendly staff too :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: My future is a lot brighter now :smiley: :smiley: I hope this post hasn’t been too difficult to read, I still have laptop problems & have borrowed the equivelent of an android phone with a lid !!! & a mind of its own :open_mouth: :confused: :sunglasses:
