I passed my road test!!
Oops-I used all caps last time cause I was so excited. Have calmed down now.
Just came to say thanks because I got so much great advice from my last post about how it was supposed to rain this morning for my road test. It did not-just overcast and not too hot so it was perfect actually.
Of course I accidentally hit neutral at my first stop out of the parking lot (that NEVER happens when I’m alone 🙄) but whatever, I knew I wouldn’t fail for that so kept on.
All was going well until I made a left turn up a slight incline. Someone’s turning left in front of me so they went and it was clear but by the time I did another shoulder check and took off a car came flying up the hill towards me. So I went wide in my turn (still in my lane but I’m usually pretty damn good at keeping them TIGHT (got a little nervous) and thought that’s it, I failed. But I kept going and self-talking to just do your best and it’s ok if you have to do it again.
We parked and she said congratulations you passed!!! 😁😁😁😁. And she only took off one point for that one thing and said just leave more of a gap and take your time-better to wait and be safe than rush it, so that was nice.
And I didn’t even have to do a u-turn!!?? 😝. And I practiced that soooo much-went out last night to do some! I like to think that she saw my prowess in handling the bike and didn’t need to see me do one 😗. Also, no way in hell was I asking about it and then she remembers she forgot to have me do one 😏
So now, I get 5 years of my right-of-passage helmet hair on my drivers license ☺️
Thank again everyone! I’m excited to find out what it’s like riding at night! (That and no passengers are the only restrictions on a learners permit here).
