So I booked my theory for 3 weeks time (closest spot) and did my cbt today. Not a great experience for me.
My bike had an issue where it wouldn't select neutral and when it did it was a false neutral. managed to get it 1 out of every 30 attempts, second when it came to road riding for about 30 minutes I had the instructor constantly shouting at me down the headset (Indicate, Indicate, Indicate, your unsafe, indicate) and this was just constant. At first I thought it was the other guy but then my name was used. My indicators would just not function (unbeknown to me). So I pull over, they start working when the instructor was stood over me, calling me a liar and that I was an unsafe rider, pull off again 2 minutes down the road constant indicate indicate indicate, I cant pass you as an unsafe rider, at this point im concentrating more and more on this stupid button. So I pull over again, get off the bike and say, its broken you take it into a 30 zone and try it, instructor comes back and acknowledges its broken.
So after having a go, for me pulling over, with no way of communicating it as its 1 way comms twice and 45 minutes of constantly shouting indicate into my headset I passed.
My nerves are shot, im honestly not sure I can do 4 days more training in 3 weeks or so, like this, did anyone else have these issues or did they have a good first biking experience.
