Apart from the controlled stop which must be done before going on the road drive, in which order do you think the format should take ![:question: :question:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/question.png?v=12)
My idea…
2 safety questions
un/couple - procedure which would help settle nerves
controlled stop
road drive
reverse - but would that be a thorn in the back of the trainees mind whilst on the road drive
![:question: :question:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/question.png?v=12)
do the reverse first, at least that way if you [zb] itup it doesn’t matter what you do on the road (do you get that far know) ![:open_mouth: :open_mouth:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/open_mouth.png?v=12)

What about :
-
Congratulations you`ve passed
-
Have a nice day
-
Goodbye
This works well for me - it misses out all that complicated driving stuff ![:smiley: :smiley:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/smiley.png?v=12)
when i managed to zb the reverse up earlier the examiner gave me the choice of going out on the road, he did make it clear that no matter what I did that I wasnt going to pass, which I already knew so I didnt go out.

Did the reverse mess up due to nerves? and were they worse at the start of the test?
I was nervous anyway, Im just like that, it got worse when i messed the reverse up though, to be fair if I had done the uncouple and couple and then the stop and drive beforehand I may have been ok.
Reverse has to be at the beginning, far too much of a weight on your mind to have at the end.
I think far too many mistakes would be made at the end

I agree - reverse at the end would be too stressful.
Mine was :
Controlled stop then onto reverse , then onto road .
By the time I had done the stop and reverse I knew I had passed those so had the road to concentrate on .
Then back to centre onto the park and then uncouple couple, all done .
Back into cab and got my pass certificate .
