when i did mine the instructor wouldn't let me change the rear view mirror so i could see out the back she had it set for her, so i dont see how traffic awareness comes into play.
I had that on my test. On the road I always use my door mirrors (Drive a van for work) but on track ive always used the windscreen mounted one. Took some getting used to along with an unfamiliar car, circuit and being nervous. I missed a car trying to pass me on my ARDS, but pass ok.
Same thing today, as soon as I took over the instructor moved the mirror for him to be able to see.

There was only 3 of us and we all passed and got 100% on the written. Certainly nothing like as intimidating as I thought it was going to be bounce

Thanks for the kind words and helpful advice all along. It certainly helped with what turned out to be a really simple written test, all multi guess answers, and a driving assessment that in reality was nothing more than "can you drive me twice around this track without stuffing it in a wall" ?

Next challenge now is getting the car ready for April bounce

Well I sure wouldn`t put in the "hardest things that I have ever done" category hehe
I am considering a few rounds of the Swinging Sixties, may well meet you out there soon.

Scary thought maybe, but don`t forget that some people just can`t do test/exam situations, no matter how well they know the subject.
