35 1/2 Hours.
Mock test time again today. All was going well while we made our way round to the test centre then it all went pear shaped! I'm just flipping useless under pressure!
I didn't have any major faults which I suppose is a plus, but I stalled twice, the first time being when I was turning right going up the hill towards Stainburn. I decided I'd come to a halt, stick the handbrake on and wait for the cars to pass, only I managed to get it into 3rd by accident. 3rd gear!! I haven't done that for MONTHS!! I can't remember where I was the other time, or what I was doing, but it was most probably something stupid like that again.
The parallel park was fine, as was the reverse round a corner, though I got rather close to the kerb but stopped and corrected myself before I did. I wasn't as observant as I could have been on that manouvre though so there was a minor fault.
Another minor fault was not checking my side mirror when turning right at one point, which we both found rather unusual because I ALWAYS check! Obviously a minor lapse of concentration on my part.
The turn in the road was fine too, but we couldn't do the emergency stop because I constantly had cars behind me and the test centre was closed so no chance to do a bay park.
All in all though it was a pretty good mock test, though I didn't ask if I'd have passed or failed. I think the 2 stalls could've clinched a fail though!
Still, there's always next week to get it right.
