3rd May 2007 bad mock test 6 days to go
The drive to test centre was good well probably not enough mirror checks and did a roundabout in 3rd.
Got to test centre did eyesight test read the wrong number plate correctly instructors response was something like well you read it perfect just the bloody wrong one. I read the right one after and got that right. Show me tell me was same as last time I think the how you check tyres are safe and how you check brake lights when on your own. Hope I get them on my actual test. Set off was going to do emergency stop but didn't get chance. Not enough mirror checks.
Pulled up for reverse round corner should of said that there wasn't enough room as a car was parked roun the corner but thought I had enough room. Put it in 1st gear instead of reverse had to change it, got to the corner steering round it and a car come up behind wanting to pass so had to start again. Went bit wide and cos of the parked car didn't have room to straighten up. Had another go at different corner which again went a bit wide and for some stupid reason didn't straighten up fuly. My instructor keeps telling me not to look in left wing mirror as much when doing this manoeuvre.
I come round a corner in 3rd gear but relised and changed to 2nd quick. Went round corner and there was learner and a bus behind them my instructor had to tell me to be careful. He said afterwards that he could tell by my face I knew I'd messed up. I didn't look left on at one junction left turn and car was passing soI had to slow down.
Overall I got 2 serious one of which I saw less than half way through but carried on for practice and wasn't over bothered as it was a mock test if it had been the proper test I think I would of struggled to carry on.
1st serious for 1st reverse round corner cos of that car being parked I couldn't straighten up. 2nd serious for not looking left at junction.
10 minors
2 for use of mirrors when signaling and changing direction (think it should of been more)
2 for signals when necessary and correctly
3 for turning left was too far from kerb
1 for turning right
2 for driving too near middle of road.
Well at least not as many minors as first time glad it wasn't my actual test today.
My instructor drove me home demonstrating what to do when driving wasn't over pleased about it but the time will be added on to next lesson and again the lesson after so I've missed out on 30 minutes of driving and getting extra hour so works out at free 30 minutes so can't complain. My instructor did al 3 manoeuvres he told me not to look so dissapointed when he did reverse round corner and wasn't too far from kerb (I didn't mean to) On parallel park he was bit further from kerb. On way back he squeased past a bus and only just had enough room so jokingly said people would be thinking it was my fault thinking he was the learner, so I say I could of dualled him he says yes and you would of been walking home.
