Most people have problems as it is TEST nerves. Just ride like you do on training as most people let the nerves get to them and that's what stops them concentrating and missing something.

Good luck and welcome :smt006

welcome to the forum.

Guess theres the same chance of failing your bike test as there is failing your car test - n alot of it is due to nerves!

enjoy your stay

Do something different, was my approach. winks Basically, common sense applies, so apply it.

And don't THINK too much! Focus on the roads, not on using them.

Welcome in, and good luck, hope to see you with full license soon!
