Wheel nut… Ive enjoyed ■■■■■■■■ with you mate! and everything you have said has made me more determined to get the licence now THAN EVER! and boy you dish out some tough love!!!
THINK I NEED AN INSTRUCTOR LIKE YOU, AS I WOULD BE TOO SCARED TO FAIL!!!
I think i will give the complaint letter a miss as the only person i should complain to is myself!! Anyway if i can explain about the cyclist, it was a very long straight road and i did honestly have mountains of room to pass him,so i faced the dilema of either as you say holding back and maybe getting marked for undue hesitation/making progress and holding up the traffic behind or as was the case i gave plenty of MSM,space for him and passed at him at a snails pace,no more than 15-20mph while living in the nearside mirror all the time i was passing him,so in hindsight i should of done what you said and held back till it was clear but i could not estimate how long he would be in front of me and in my thinking at the time was to get past him at the safest/earliest opportunity or get spanked for holding up the following traffic? I think it might be one of those situations that either one examiner would of nailed me for holding back and another would get me for passing the cyclist?,i think i might of been just unlucky to get the latter,but please believe me when i say that it would of definately of not been a squeeze to pass him,and as i have failed the test i have nothing to gain by exagerating the cause of the failure in my favour,as a fail is a fail and i would only be kidding myself if i told this any other way if i made a big bllcks of it i would say so,i think i will just have to put it down to experience and try and avoid this grey situation again.
But as you pointed out you have the class one and i hav’nt ,so i am in no position to argue, but as soon as i have,and in the words of a large Austrian actor…I’LL BE BACK!!!
Joking aside the next time i take my test i am going to think of your words as they might just do the trick
Best of luck to you mate with no hard feelings, Jim:wink:
Chippy…Thanks for that mate ,much appreciated
Kiowan…Truck driving is very serious to some but to others its just the day job, no offence but i feel being a pilot is a slightly more responsible job…but not much more! :wink
