Hi and welcome to the site.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I actually had an email from the owner of the training company this evening suggesting that I go for an assessment with him or one of the other senior instructors and that they also give me some additional training which seems like a good idea. I thin...

Well I took and passed my CBT last Saturday and also managed to pass my theory test on Wednesday so it should have been a good week. However, my gut feeling after completing my CBT was that I didn't feel particularly confident in my abilities and wasn't certain that I should have passed. I was worri...

Hi Paul and welcome to the site.

Well that's fair enough and good on you for being such a loyal mate.

it wasnt actually me who got caught it was a mate of mine. if he gets any more points he will be banned and also loose his livelyhood so i will be taking the points for him.

As for 12 convictions ... that gives me a target to aspire to!

Hi and welcome from one newbie to another.

I was sure that someone here would have first-hand experience!

Thanks for the tip off. I'm actually in the area this afternoon so I may drive by and have a look.

Excellent, thanks for the advice guys.

I have to send my driving license off for my first three pentalty points after going a bit too fast in the wife's car a few weeks back* but, typically, I am going to need to have it handy for my upcoming bike tests (CBT a week on Saturday and Direct Access a few weeks after that). Does anyone have a...
