New test: examiners should have more freedom

On the 14th May I took my part 1 motor cycle test at the new Norwich test centre. Although I completed all manouvers successfully I was failed because after two runs I only achieved 48kph during the swerve test.

I did however reach 54 kph on the emergency stop test. I can find no fault with the examiner or the test facility but I do feel that the examiner should be allowed some leeway regarding speed particularly for 125cc riders.

I also feel that riders should be encouraged to anticipate hazards and adopt an appropiately safe speed for all conditions rather than having to swerve.
