Wait, you're supposed to drink the beers 'afterwards'?!
That explains everything now..

It helps to have a pint beforehand, settles the nerves. I always play better skittles after a few jars.

What helps is to have your instructor along for the test. I am pretty sure in 2 tests I failed, 1 bike and 1 car, that had an insructor had been along I might have passed. Annoying to fail with a clean sheet bar 1 bad fault marked that you don't agree with. Anyhow, good luck on the new proffesion. Not a job I think I could do.
mike the bike:
The candidate is asked if they want their instructor present on the test. We get hear the debrief anyway, and all the excuses. " I would have passed if it wasn't for....."
How does it work on a bike test, instructor rides pillion does he?
matthewmosse:
Two of the 3 bike test attempts I did the examiner was in a car, the instructor could have come along easily. When it comes to fails, most are a fair cop, learn from mistakes, inprove your driving, we can all inprove, then there are the times you think not really, so much of it is subjective. Pull out of a junction with a car just visable in the far distance in one town, it's a fail, don't pull out with a car same distance away at same speed and you can fail thanks to undue hesitation. On the other hand one must look at how many new drivers get wiped out or crash early on in their driving career. I guess it is a hard compromise.
