And i hope i pass! Im worrying even though i know im a safe rider

I'm conserned about the hazards and uturn the most, been practising locating hazards on the motorway and at intersections, but i have a question...

What if i get to an intersection, the instructor asks me to remember hazards and there is no one else there! No cars no people nothing! What then? The instructor behind me is a potential hazard, crap on the road/ uneven road surface could be another, is there anything else that is devout of other people?

eeeeeeeehhhhh, i hate waiting

Don't be afraid to say you didn't see anything that was obvious. Chances are they won't ask unless there is something reasonably visible. (I didn't get asked any hazard questions at all on mine due to lack of headset to use, yet I'd been frantically filling my head with all sorts of things to try to remember in case he asked me later!)
Good luck for tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

thanks guys, got fingers crossed. Been practicing the Uturn too. Can't wait!

Someone correct me here if I am wrong but I believe the Road Code book says a HAZARD is anything that moves which may interfere with your vehicle, therefore a pot hole or rain puddle would not be a hazard. I don't agree but I think that what it says.

Good luck.

Be sure to fill us in with all the details after you pass.

If there is a hazard it will be quite plain to you - just give him a somewhat exaggerated response (don't swerve like crazy) and touch your brake lights on, so he can see you have noted said hazard, and mentally note them so you can describe them to him later. There quite likely won't be any really outrageous ones - just a pedestrian looking to cross, or some vehicle at a give way sign who you can say "did not make eye contact with me" or some crap like that.

Worrying about all this won't help at all, so you should find something interesting and useful to do meantime, and get some exercise later on so you sleep like a rock.

You won't need luck - you know all this crap, so just relax and be yourself and concentrate on not crossing white lines at giveway signs etc etc - all the little pedantic pieces of shit that they might get picky on.
