Yeah. The guy who went through his test about an hour before I did mine came back having failed with one major and no minors - he dabbed on the U turn... He was bitching and moaning at himself, so frustrated, he kept going 'I know I can do that buggerdly maneuver, I've done it thousands of times in practise, on the tightest roads I can find, so why did I f**king do it?!?' Harsh, tbh.

I failed one on that. giraffe took me to a road that was maybe 10ft wide. But their argument is that if you can push the bike around in the road, you should be able to ride it round. After that I practised until I could ride round in circles on the lockstops. Came for the retest and got told to do it in a mahusive wide road :smt013 .

Aye, I had about two and a bit hours to kill before the test, and I spent most of it finding the narrowest little roads I could find, and going round and round and round and round...
