Well finally got round to going for my CBT the other week and towards the end decided I wasn't ready for th 2hr road bit, my choice. I had worked myself up into frustration due to keeping messing up the indicators! The gloves I have got are apair of Winter Spada Water proof etc etc, there a small but due to having stupidly small digits (this relates to nothing...) I have around half an inch of play at the end of my thumb, which meant I couldn't feel the switch properly.
This was making me mess up in the practice for junctions, I'd do my life check, go to turnon indicator and it wouldn't move - think I was pushingi at a funny angle. So in turn I'd then look down at the switch, lose control of the throttle, lose the clutch, stall, swear and restart.
This higly frustrated me as I did well at the slow manuveurs and apart from being heavy on the brakes some times was fine with everything else
But was not feeling that I was in the right frame of mind or confident enough to go on the open road, even if he ahd let me (I never asked).
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and/or could recommend some decent winter x-small gloves I should look at?
My dad has suggested thinner sumer gloves with thermal ones underneath.
The good news is that he doesn't charge for extra lessons/2nd chances. And I have been rebooked for the 9th January

I also kept using the gears to slow down instead of the brakes which meant no bugger behind me knew I was braking.
