andy s410c 59 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Top tip RH DONT!! Took me 3 times to get my class2,make sure you use your mirrors & check your blind spots all the time & make sure the examiner sees you do it.If your driving a splitter make sure your selector is in the right position as you will struggle to pull away in 5/6 gear!!Drive confidently,with a bit luck on your side & you,ll get it.Then welcome to the 56mph stare & even worse road rage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 bally - No mate, not been to see that buck yet. And have not seen any more signs of fallow Andy - THe splitter is always in high, luckily theres no need for it round the test route's I've got the mirrors/blindspot down to a T. well, so my instructor says He's also been teaching me all the "truckers slang" Oh yes, 56mph....lovely eh.

Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 i got it paid for when i was on JSA I think its about £700 though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy s410c 59 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Take it,s a straight 6 with a half gear splitter on it??Keeping the switch up drives it in high gear no probs the half gear gives it a bit of pulling power when maxed out.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
