If your riding like a pratt , then maybe
It's his way I think. Unfortunately I've never reacted well to this method of teaching.
Ah well. If I don't pass I can always try again.

That's the problem; I don't think I am. At least not for somebody who until a few days ago had never ridden a bike.

Its a difficult situation , because basically , he is responsible for training troops and then sending them straight to the front line .
I wouldnt like that , whatever he is saying to you , he definitely has your best interest at heart .
again , good luck , just remember that every bastard in a car is trying to kill you .
A little ditty i was told many years ago that has saved me a few times , for when you go into a bend way tooo hot , dont grab for the brakes , just tell yourself,
"if its going to get round the corner with the brakes on , it will piss round it if i just look round the corner and let her go "

I think if I fail, I'll go back to the chap I did my CBT with.....he was very relaxed and chilled out.
I remember him telling me about the types of instructors out there who try to put you down, etc. At the time, I thought he was just trying to persuade me to do the DAS with him.
I now understand what he means.
