Thanks everybody
I thought this thread would have been finished, so forgot to check it, sorry.
Well, I did some extra hours, drove well, no issues this time, even with roundabouts/tight turns.
Both myself and the instructor were happy with everything. Took the retest and failed again unfortunately. I clipped a kerb on a tight right hand turn!.
I have done that turn plenty of times before, so I have no idea why I made that mistake…a momentary lapse of concentration.
The examiner was chatting to me all the way round the test, which I thought might be a good sign, but now on reflection, it was distracting. I should have told him to shut up and let me concentrate.
I don’t think there is any point analysing what happened, I made a stupid mistake, and the instructor was one that wasn’t going to let me get away with it.
Fair enough.
As soon as a test date comes up, I’ll have a few hours practice and take it again.
I like the idea of following some artics around, that sounds like an idea, and could be a help.
I will try that, hopefully I wont get arrested for stalking!
Thanks everyone for the advice.
