At 21 minutes, he approaches a roundabout and enters the right hand lane, which is for right turns only. From there he went straight on from that lane. If he had realised he should have gone all the way around the roundabout and took the exit he was meant to take, he would have passed.
@AQvc44 that lane was for turning right only, of he had turned right he would have been fine, or if he had gone all the way around and took the same exit he did he would have been fine. When doing the independent ride, going the wrong way is not a problem so long as you do it safely. Using a right turn only to go straight ahead is not considered safe. Hope that helps and good luck on your test.
@CarrotCrunchingWabbit Your point is invalid as every lane is the correct lane if used correctly! The guy is human, and we all make mistakes, so long as you recognise and use whatever lane you find yourself in even if not the one you wanted, and use it for it's intended purpose, which is what my point was! If you don't realise, and you use the lane incorrectly on your test, then you will fail. Hence, the video!
@crazymotorcycle I don't make the rules, but that's what they are to keep us all safe or what's the point in having the rules. Have you ever rode in another country where people can just do pretty much what they want? It's not as safe as it is here, but it's normal to them.
When in doubt of which lane to be in with roundabouts always remember: If the exit you need/want is before '12 o'clock on the roundabout sign, you'll want the left lane. its usually for turning left or going straight ahead, however some roundabouts may not follow that rule, furthermore, If the exit is positioned after 12 o'clock on the roundabout, you'll need the right-hand lane. its when you have more than 2 lanes when that rule differs slightly
Failed mine first time by making a dumb mistake on the very last junction of the test route, so I feel your pain! Passed on 2nd attempt, but was pissed that it cost me 6 weeks and another £180 to do so. Bit of a scam, the whole thing.
Failed this morning for apparently using the back brake too much and for driving too close to a parked car (that he said contained a man with the window partly down). Absolute non-sense on both counts. Absolute scam.
you dont need to shoulder check when you slow down/stop. as long as you are constant with mirrors it is not necessary. you can do it but you risk off putting your balance due to reduced speed. mainly you shoulder check when moving off or changing position/lanes. I do appreciate you randomly pressing your indicator to make sure, i do the same thing occasionally even now after i passed for a while and 30k+ miles and a few good hours with pillion. Did you end up passing ?
Had my mod2 last week. My examiner was telling me which lanes to use while approaching these kind of roundabouts. I was shocked! He obviously wanted a pass. I was lucky.
What a bummer, hard luck and thank you for sharing, all the best on the next one, wrong lane on the roundabout and everything was perfect up to that ☘️☘️
@flippy5118 mistakes happen. I did everything perfect up until my mod 1 mock test today where I grazed the kerb shoulder checking for my U turn and he didn't notice one of my shoulder checks so I got 2 minors. Consistent runs in the avoidance prior to the mock with 52 52 52 kmh through the speed trap and 55 and 53 for the runs in my mock. Test is in 2 days (Monday) so I'm hoping to get 0 or maybe 1 minor. Unrestricted DAS course 😊
Unlucky you didn't notice that lane marking. Glad you got it 2nd time around. Well done for posting this and accepting it. I'm waiting until spring to sit mine after approx ten month of L plates🤞
look at the sign before the roundabout , 12 o clock straight ahead exit = left lane , any exit up to and including to the 12 o clock position on road sign before the roundabout is left lane any exit past 12 o clock position on the sign is right lane, unless road markings say different leant, that on my cbt today , 4th one, test eventually thanks for the video
Ah, I failed my first time too mate - no worries. Your riding isn't bad, so would be surprised if you didn't pass second time! Just the money of a retest is what bothered me most lol. My examiner was such a w-anchor too lol, even the one who passed me with 2 minors haha.
it's changed a bit since I done my test in mid eighties , you'd go around the block ( no examiner riding with you ) , you could pull wheelies most the way around as long as you didn't run over the examiner when he stepped out in front of you for the emergency stop.
I just failed my mod 2 for the exact same reason,wrong lane entry onto roundabout plus i also accidentally went over 30mph in a 30mph zone,i was concentrating on all the other things,got retest next week.
Hiyeah mate...you will pass the next time. Don't worry we are just part of the statistics....get online and book again after 10 days. good luck and please share us your next experience. good luck mate.
uncluky hard break tbh but i did see the major on the round about also if there is no speed sign i would presume 30mph always but its hard some time to stay at 30mph hope you passed and ride safe
@@NOYPIMOTOUK no worries mate things happen for reasons said this to another person other day who didn't pass mod 2 for leaving signal on if that was a real life situation you could of easily been knocked off same with the roundabout only takes 1 driver not paying attention to plow in to you so its all learning and all good 👊👊🏍️💨
@@AnthonyHiggins84 learned my lessons and managed to pass the next test. That mistake stuck with me now…so every time I approach round about this are the things i look for. 😂😂😂
This route was fucking rock solid compared to mine. My test lasted 20 minutes and I basically just drove along a 60mph road to a roundabout and back. I was completely shocked when he asked me to pull back into the test centre. I thought. I must have failed somehow. But got a pass with zero minors 😂
Means that the examiner will let you drive without instructions. He will just tell you where he wants you to go…you just have to get there on your own…i mean with out instruction.
@@Obiwan243 I'm told that they don't really care if you go the right way. They're not actually checking your NAVIGATION, they're seeing how you ride independently without instruction. Could someone confirm/deny?
The examiner might have let you get away with that but I guess he saw you had a camera recording this. Therefore there would be a record of you passing with a major so no way could he let you pass.
21:34 he position in the right lane and follow the roundabout to the 12 o clock exit. In some roundabouts is allowed to do so. Unfortunately, in this one it was mark the right lane was for turning right only. He did great though. I fail my test for speeding and this video has helped me a lot.
@@jasoncarthew2279 He's trying to show you who is boss. It appears very few get through first time. I can only guess they are keeping themselves in a job. Both myself a another person failed this morning for using the rear brake too much and not the front. Hopefully second time lucky!
@@NOYPIMOTOUK indeed, but I felt you rode safely at all times. They need to separate serious and dangerous faults, instead of making them both a one fault = whole test fail. One dangerous fault, sure, fail the test. but if THAT is considered a serious fault, where you do something wrong without endangering yourself or other road users, then you should be allowed 2 or 3 of those.
@@BelfastBiker got failed in Lisburn this morning, 2 x serious faults, including using the rear brake too much. Absolute con. It was a good clean run without any bother. Money grabbers.

Hi, can I ask how long you had to wait and how much it cost for the retest? Bike hire, test etc
Hi David, 10 i managed to retest after 14 days..cost me 160£. that includes the bike hire and the test mate…
160 for retest I see why they try get as memny fails as they can

those road markings where he failed, if I'm not mistaken they were only at the end of the road.... so, a bit harsh of the examiner.

A very valid point and more than likely true.
very good point. I was considering using a camera for my upcoming MOD 2, but most definitely will not now.

Hiyeah well done Steven….goad you passed the test…its probably nerves….got it the next time though…so all is good!
You do mirror checks not shoulder checks on a straight road . Think you overdid it
MAYBE OVER DID IT...:-)
If there was a car to your left on that roundabout you would have mybe collided thats why it was a fail.
Yeah…it was actually a fault misreading the road marks…
can you explain again how you failed? I couldn't really see what happened. Have you since passed?
21:34 he position in the right lane and follow the roundabout to the 12 o clock exit. In some roundabouts is allowed to do so. Unfortunately, in this one it was mark the right lane was for turning right only. He did great though. I fail my test for speeding and this video has helped me a lot.
