licenceing problem

[froggyfrenchman]

Went and breezed through my full bike licencethismorning, after being lazy for too many years. The only thing that i gotblack marked for was road posistion. I was riding on the right hand side of my lane, aka in right hand wheel tracks of cars. This dick failed me on that saying i was mad, told me, and I quote... "I want you to keep right left, hug the footpath when you can".

Now i disagree with this... Read the motorcycle road code, it tells you i was doing it right!

I will atach a diagram, mirroring the one he drew to tell me where i should sit.

But my major beef here is... isnt he suposed to test me on what the roadcode says, not what he thinks?

You're right on all points. He's definitely an idiot.

Its some new real there something about it on KB in one of threads.

But yes its rule made up by a /goverment offical that dont ride bikes

[Madness]

Feel safer in the right tyre groove personally, ya can see what is coming better & of course thats the side to pass all those cages on too.

I nearly passed my restricted test coz the prick thought I was going too slow. Well sorry buddy, but if you want me to go & borrow a 250 for your stoopid test, dont expect me to be familiar with it.

at least you passed congrats
as as for the wanker at least you no you are right he might need to sit his test

I had never heard anything bout this ride on the left caper, i bought our rodecode not a month back for the missis to use to study up before he restricted, it still says "right hand wheel tracks"

I got the same thing o9n my full 3 or 4 weeks ago. Open road riding, I'd take a line into bends that meant I was over nearer to the oncoming traffic.

I was told not to do it in case an oncoming car had a blowout and crossed into my lane.

Seemed dumb to me, but since I had passed, I just took my licence and smiled nicely. It isn't going to change how I ride, though.

Cheers, Yeah im happy that i passed, im just more worried bout others that may be closer to failing and this guys shit judgement may push them over the threshold

Fortunately not all testing officers are so stupid! Right hand gives you room to move, left hadn you are screwed, and not on the top of the camber, can't always see as early etc! He is clearly a madman

I say we call Jihad on him!!! or maybe shihad.... wee had??wee hard!! ha that shall be his new name!!

Congratulations on passing your test... well done.


Ok maybe it is worth contacting their office and ask to speak to the general manager of that branch and ask him/her where a m/bike rider should be... then when he quotes you from the road code....

Then tell him what the testing instructor told you...
But only tell him AFTER the GM has given you the correct info.

That way he will find out what his employers are doing.

[froggyfrenchman]

Thats what i was planning on doing, Crashe. Its no skin off my nose, but just looking out for those whom will follow.

But i passed. Just gotta go get my cage full and renew my forklift and class2 then i can ignore licences for a while
