I was told that you don't actually learn to ride till after you pass the test, you learn to pass the test before that.

The point to me is, that they are making nervous people (and you lot didn't see how nervous I was for my test) do something that in wet weather could be dangerous. I wouldn't serve like that in the rain unless the outcome if I didn't was worse. I don't see it as a gentle swerve at all, it's quite tight, and there's a muppet with a speed camera to make sure that the poor sod is doing 31 mph. In the rain... as I said I'd be more careful and aware of whichever bikes qualities....the old one, wouldn't be in the rain at all!!! The brakes are not great in the dry....

There's also the u-turn in the actual test. The figure of 8 and weave are in the CBT....before we even get to the test.
