+1 to the free at last list...!
Did my exam this morning at HB. My appointment was for 10 but I didnt get on the road until around 11. I didnt get outta there until 1230
My evaluator seemed like a real hard ass (Pascal, tall older skinny wears a cap//sunglasses). He was straight to the point with his pre-explanations no smiles no nothing
Only thing I'd say is watch your speed limit. With constantly having to check around for traffic//blindspots/riding properly, its easy to forget about the speedo.
When your waiting at red lights, make sure you keep looking around//check your mirrors. They like to know that you're aware
We wasted no time getting onto the 15N, it was only after 2 or 3 streets did he ask me to jump on. DONT be afraid to accelerate! The speed limit for the curve right before the entrance says 45kmh . Right after that sign, nail the gas to 75-80 that way by the time your getting onto the highway, your already at ~90kmh. They will fail you if you merge to slow and make the guy behind you have to significantly slow down. I was doing abt 105 on the highway
Parking was very easy. He took me on a residential backstreet and asked me to park on the right. There were no other cars driving and I rode down to find a spot that can easily fit 2 cars (i wasnt about the bust my ass trying to parallel park between 2 cars when hes giving me the choice anywhere on the street) . Make sure to signal and blindspot check. Swoop in, come out a little, then clutch in and walk the bike back on a 45 degree angle. I dont know if I was allowed but halfway thru walking back, i walked forward a bit to readjust my position. Once parked, jut put in nerutral put down the kickstand turn off blinker shut the bike off and hop off. When you pull out remember you have to check mirror blindspot and signal
Everything else is just regular backstreet and city riding which im sure youve all done
BIG BIG thanks to **LONESTAR** who's refresher course is probably the only reason i passed. He was even nice enough to call me the night before my exam (last night) and verbally walk me thru the exam. Definately a guy who genuinely cares for his students
