I know I haven't been posting much recently but I've been concentrating on my upcoming bike test. Which I did yesterday and failed...
Bugger.
At the very first roundabout there was a Ford Fiesta sat in the middle of the two lanes. The instructor had told me to turn left on the roundabout so I looked at it's left indicator and it wasn't on, "ok" thinks I "it's going straight on and I can go to its left". I slipped down its left and headed off.
When we got to the end of the test the examiner told me that it had been indicating left and that therefore my manuever had been very dangerous and I'd failed (he also didn't like the hurried way I pulled over when asked to stop but that wasn't a failing issue). Now my instructor thinks that what happened is that the Fiesta realising I was going down its left quickly flicked its left indicator on, so it appeared to the examiner that I was pulling a dangerous move. I suspect he's right...
I retake the test in two weeks time. I wish it was today, the wait to get a big bike is killing me.
