Well Done, fells fantastic doesnt it! Onwards snd upwards
It does, feels grand. I kept saying to myself all the way home every time I saw a rigid “I can drive that, and that, and that etc” if I saw an artic I said “soon!”
More in depth on test; got a minor on the reverse, my wheel touched the line, only just, but still.
Got one each on gears and steering, cant remember what the steering was now but I cocked up my hill start, left switch up, nearly saved it but then thinking I’d returned gear to neutral when I hadn’t I did stall it which earned me one for control too.
Oh yea, steering was for one kerb coming off a roundy, just skiffed it. Got one for signals as I didnt realise RH signal went off when part way round and didn’t reinstate.
One for speed as gained some momentum in a forty, not for long though.
One for awareness as missed a follow up on a pedestrian.
Bit miffed with self over hill start, but overall was pretty relaxed, examiner was good, with some useful feedback at the end.
Mega chuffed, trying to book my mod 4 now! Still undecided about W & D or artic but I’ve found someone nearby with both so might do an assessment drive in the artic to let me see what I’m letting myself in for!
It is a good feeling well done
Very well done!!
Pete

yes
You now need to update your signature from! Cat C coming soon
Yep, just updated - couldn’t do it via tapatalk on my phone, had to boot up the old laptop.
Yep, I could drive just the unit, but I want the whole enchilada! I want my C+E and especially whilst it’s all fresh.
Just booked mod 4, unfortunately it seems pretty well booked up with EP so its not till 3rd March unless they get a cancellation.
Congratulations, very well done
Thanks for the congrats, and seriously thank you, thank you, thank you for the all support. Even with having the OH and all his C & CE holding mates behind me, it made a real difference to me to have all the advice, support, similar stories and the knowledge-base right here whenever I needed it.
I’ve booked an assessment drive with a more local (to me) firm in an artic in Feb, to see just what I’m letting myself in for. I know it’s easier to pass with W&D but I am seriously considering doing the test in an artic, mainly to give myself the confidence to then go on and sell my skills in one and so I know my arse from my elbow when it comes to actually driving one. Saying that after my assess drive I may change my mind - we’ll see. Even if I do swing the other way and go for W&D at least he’s local so I could just pay to take his artic out later maybe. (Plus the assess drive is only £35, £35 to go play in an artic sounds like a bargain to me!)
Well done!
Well deserved and well done!

Well done.

W&D was an easier animal for me to pass in and never had any problems going to artic athough did have training on artic but Ive never driven W&D comercially always artic but have the assessments and make your own mind up !!
