Firstly, congratulations on the Silver, although I suspect that, from your pre test posts, you're a touch miffed it wasn't a Gold.
I do "smooth braking" and have been pulled up on it. It's not exactly Roadcraft when such as Playtent follow that book.
No not miffed at all. The pre-tests posts related to the perceived prejudice of another examiner. I was happy with the way the examiber on the day cobducted the test and his explanations (albeit I either didbt get sone if his explabations or didbt agree eg not having to ever indicate to retrun to lane 1 of motorway from lane 2 having just conducted an overtake), but I was happy with his rationale for the award of silver, and based on my performance on the day, I knew tgat, regardless of who the examiber was, I wasnt going to ve awarded a gold. I was happy to pass, happy that silver was a fair award and naturally disappointed with nyself fir the mistakes I made. But no miffness or mifficatuon.
