Hi skydiver, where 'bouts are you taking the test?

[skydiver]

Andy, it will be in the Dundee area. Where are you based?

Andy, it will be in the Dundee area. Where are you based?

Way south of the border.. Bath.

So have you joined the local group? Being 'observed'? How are you getting on?

[skydiver]

Yep joined the local group. I am getting on OK, my observer wants to arrange a 2nd opinion to check for test readiness

[ScoobyChris]

Welcome aboard and good luck!

The 2nd opinion is standard practice among most groups and a good opportunity to get a different perspective on your driving. My 2nd observer picked up a couple of minor things that my regular observer had missed. He also didn't ask me to do any of the manouevres

Cheers for the info ScoobyChris, just gotta hope that goes OK and then play the waiting game for the test if I am deemed ready.....

[AnalogueAndy]

So how have you found being 'Observed'?

[skydiver]

It is kind of strange at first but luckily my observer has given good encouragement and I have not felt "talked at" or indeed "talked down to"

Enjoyable overall really
