I took my IAM test on Wednesday after only two observed rides and despite giving it my all I was failed because of my approach to right hand bends (position on the left side etc, etc) and making a mess of a sharp right hand junction (my fault, I just lost it completely). The examiner says go away and practice and book another test because you are so close to the standard.
He also mentioned my lack of confidence in the wet, and after thinking about it for the last couple of days it has really started to bother me and feel I must discuss it with him the next time I take my test.
Is it lack of confidence, over-caution, or anything else for that matter to not lean over quite so much when the road is wet. You could be leaning round a bend and find yourself confronted by a wet manhole cover or patch of diesel directly in your path. I would definately fail then if I fell off wouldn't I? :rant:
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.
