OK - test (A2) is booked for this month. I feel I'm doing OK and that, barring nerves turning me into a menace, I might well do OK. However - a point was raised and I wonder if any of the "just passed" folk might fill me in: pulling out from stationary (as opposed to stationery) - do you indicate right or not?
Cheers,

Good luck mate  O0

I' ve always indicated right (well most of the time anyway) and check your blind spot.
Was moving into inside lane on Bypass a couple of mornings ago and didin't check my blind spot, just used my mirrors, almost got a car up my ass. Scared the life out of me.

Muchisimas gracias.

Yup - I got into the whole "blind spot" thang aged 19 when I nearly redecorated a lorry with me. I checked The Code and they also recommend the indicators. I had thought so, but you know how it goes: you're all set, feeling fine and then a helpful nephew who sat his test some time ago gives you the "Oh no -  if you indicate moving off they'll fail you." And all the insecurities inherent in being tested at an age when you thought you'd never be tested again come flooding in.

I hate youth.

Ta agin.
Cheers,

Just passed and have since become the best rider ever.  8)  I even fall off with style.  :shocked:

The answer is yes apart from during U-turn.

I do apologise I was refering to the pulling out from stationary question.  :-[

Other questions could be "Are your pants comfy?" "Do you like being warm?" "Have you been to Scotland?" "Do you always double wipe just in case?" " Are you going to eat that cat?"

Feel free to add other Craig.  I know you are up to it!
