So?????? 
318. You may be a Bib. But you could have posted something along the lines of "Well Done". It was in order. Shame on you. You may be a Class 1. But everyone starts somewhere. I've read a number of your posts and I'm afraid I'm beginning to be convinced you are either a troll or, if you really are a member of Her Majesty's finest, then you leave a great deal to be desired in terms of your public relations abilities.
I don't normally bother with criticism on the forum as it can have no effect but in this case I think I should make make a point - for all the good it will do.
If you can't contribute constructively then don't contribute at all.

Thought you were keen to see people try and improve their driving. The police officer who examined me was highly complimentary of my efforts. Please do not bother again unless you can be constructive. Officers like you give people like us an unjustly poor perception of the traffic police in general.
I realise it is just the beginning - trying to improve all the time and intend to retest every 3 years as required (gold next time).
It may seem boring, but I want to enjoy my car to its and my potential within my own and other's safety.

Well Done. Of the several thousand RoSPA candidates I have examined over the years on both two and four wheels, I still get a buzz when you award a grade and you see the smile of delight it gives the recipient.
I am sure that in time you will attain gold, and in my experience those who attain silver first time out and then eventually achieve gold actually retain the gold grading for longer because they have had to work that much harder to get there in the first place.
Silver is still a fine achievement, so take pride in what you have done continue to work at the areas the examiner made comment on and good luck on your next test when I am sure that Gold will be yours for the taking.

Silver - yippee!
Minor finesse points prevented a gold - my first test though and a bit nervous.
Big thanks to John Cave (big john) of Drivetrain UK

Good on you, well done mate. As Don has said, this is the first step so get yourself a copy of Roadcraft (if you havent got one already) and get going.
Dont forget, this is where you start to hone your skills and learn even more.
