[QUOTE="Markshall, post: 406628, member: 1872"] I got: 1 x Signalling (not checking mirrors when signalling) 1 x meeting 1 x overtaking 1 x control while reverse parking The meeting and overtaking aren't really my fault: We're meant to check mirrors as we signal, I obviously mustn't have checked mirrors when I signalled once but I was certain I had done them all. :) With the meeting one, it was at a traffic calming system with bollards where only one lane of traffic can pass through at a time, and the other has to wait. It was clear, so I went through and had right of way. As I'm half way through, a woman comes to the traffic calming system and decides to go through even though she couldn't possibly do so as there is no space as only one lane can fit through. Just like this, except there's another set of bollards on the other side of the road slightly further up [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9b/9a/8a/9b9a8aaf0907ec52baf7c3143ed77b41.jpg[/img] The overtaking minor was for a cyclist. I had given them plenty of space as I moved out of my lane to overtake him, but as I moved back in to my lane, I didn't give him as much space as required (6ft according to theory test). I must've given him about 4 or 5ft. But I couldn't give him anymore space because there was traffic coming from the other side and I was driving on a bend, so if I'd have given him 6ft, I'd have crashed into oncoming traffic. The reverse park was for hitting a curb but I honestly couldn't feel it. When I finish my test, the examiner said it was the front left wheel which slightly knocked the curb. Now obviously with him sitting in the passenger seat (front left over here), he'd have felt it more than anyone. That's what annoyed me. I've explained the minors from this test in my reply to Josh above. In my previous test, the only minor I got was for understeering at a junction. I was in my independent driving session part of the test and was looking out for the 4th right, which was one of my instructions. But because I was looking out for it and it was on a bend, I almost missed the turn. So I had to come to a slight sudden stop and almost missed the turn in by not steering enough :). But I failed that test because a woman cut me up at the lights and the examiner slammed on the brakes although there was no need. Honestly, I just think he panicked. It wasn't my fault she cut me up. I was controlling the situation by coming to a complete stop. [/QUOTE]
