CBT Stopped as too dangerous

A CBT student not listening to instruction and doing what they think is right. You can't hear very well but the instructor is asking the student to slow down for the mini roundabout, this gets more urgent and intense in the instructors voice as the student is not responding to the instruction. The CBT is ended immediately and the student spoken to.

Nothing worse then hearing the instructor yelling at you through the mic lol.

as a CBT instructor myself this has happened to me also as the students English was not the best on the radio and wasnt following the instructions.
I have no option but to end the assessment in these cases as safety is the most important thing. it is our job to ensure the safety of ourselves, the learners and other road users.

When I did my big bike test, one of the other kids doing the test on that day went the wrong way up a dual carriageway for some reason and failed instantly.

Passed my bike test in 1976. Hardly saw the examiner as I rode once around the block. He stepped out into the road for me to perform an emergency stop, but he had pre-warned me that he would. I'm still riding, but in all that time, I still haven't had any instructions whatsoever.

The point is being supervised by someone is extremely stressful, though I don't question the need for it. My instructor stopped talking during the road journey and I began to wonder if the radio connection was broken. Turns out he wanted to monitor my progress when left to my own devices.. But I didn't know that! At the end he told me I was safe but hadn't shown improvement and was too dependent on his instructions. . He issued the cert but I still felt crap...
When a learner panics then of course everything is forgotten!

we got separated from our instructor en route to the A2 mod 1 test. didn't know if he was ahead or behind us so we just finished the journey and took the test without him there. never seen someone so angry in my entire life, but we both ended up getting our A2 licenses first try lol

We all make mistakes and especially when learning a new skill. I know this is old but hopefully the guy continued riding and at the end of the day, nobody was hurt.

And he stops right on the roundabout to guarantee a fail!

[gregfarley]

I know a lad who was on his CBT he got told to go right at a roundabout and did a right turn onto it the wrong way. The only person I’ve ever known to fail

[RevZeusJoe]

Mobility scooter might be a better option pmsl

[Addyplus]

That could of been a lot worse if the cars didn't slow down

[leboinator]

It's mad, nowadays my mate crashed and still passed. The standards are low

[SpartasEdge]

Good decision; as that person was nowhere near ready.

[JustJonnoo]

That van at the end was rather close....😩

Had a guy on mine who clearly been working as a delivery driver without a cbt and now was going legal. The guy was full throttle all day long, weaving through traffic, almost never stopping for signals, deliberately going in the wrong lane then cutting across traffic. Worstpart was they passed him. They need to make the theory test part of the cbt requirements

[martinliu]

I had my examiner shouting down the mic for not listening, and because it's a one-way com, I couldn't say anything to him. Went back to the test centre and I still passed :)

Why is the instructor mid pack ? Done 2 CBT’s because my first expired. Both times with two separate training providers lead the pack from the front.

Secondly the instructor proceeds to ignore priority of those on the roundabout. Making the same mistake as the student.

[RogerClay-gw]

A good example of why training is so important.

[danielbateman]

This is absolutely something I would've done on my CBT. But now, with a little more experience, I'm a safe motorcyclist, being cautious and better at assessing vehicle speed and right of way. If there's anyone who did a CBT course and is reading this, it's okay to be overwhelmed and make mistakes your first time, book in more time with the school, you'll get there! 👍

My CBT got stopped within 5mins as I "took a corner like Rossi" . I was 17 but ridden bikes young. As good as my bike handling was, my road sense was good but etiquette was rubbish/unsafe.
