OK I'll start off:
"Oh I thought the speed limit was National..."
"Whoops, that caught me by surprise..."
"Checking mirrors and I can see the cyclist isn't seriously hurt..."

Actually, I think the first two are just being honest, since the examiner will already have picked up on them, you'll only look like a tit if you try to cover them up.
If I were an examiner, I'd fail someone for any of the following;
"Look where you're going, you w*nk*r!" (or even milder variants thereof)
"But I had right of way"

My failed test is entirely the fault of my Observer.
Best wishes all,
Dave.

How about a SeanP 'bollocks' .... of course you'd need that crunch and spin moments before to really have the impact!

"I'll just nip into the inside lane and undertake this slowcoach"
"Roundabout? What roundabout?"
"Still amber, we can just about make it.."
"I always wondered what that sign meant."
"I know it's not systematic, but it works for me"

1. "Hold me beer whilst I start the car??"""
2. "I normally get it more sidewars than that!"
3. "Opps thats 100mph not 100kph"
4. "Get out of the way you f**king cyclist/old person/sunday driver etc etc"
5. "Hey watch... No Hands"

You jest . . .
There's a motorcycling DVD all about using the limit point, ridden by an ex-police instructor, which includes something very similar when a bend tightens/continues on around . . .

"Can you hold the wheel whilst I light this cigarette."
"Is it clear to the left?"
"Approaching a sharp turn to the right, no opposing traffic... Mirror, Signal, Handbrake"

"System, what system....?"
"Oooops, that was a red light I just drove through....."
"Of course, I feel a bit hungover this morning"
*with devilish glint in eye* "D'you think I can make it through before the lights turn red....?"
