My co-driver was the same way. Good driver but got nervous and made mistakes. Actually failed the road test twice. Finally he relaxed and aced it. The only reason he got to test a third time was the tester saw that he was nervous.

My advise is relax. I know it sounds tough to do. But you know this stuff, no one riding next to you can take your knowledge away from you. I assume you are a new driver, which means they expect some mistakes. If you make one just recover and forget it, move on. Honestly most of us make mistakes out here all the time. How you recover and handle it is mostly what they want to see, that and that you wont tear up the equipment. Even tho it sounds tough just take a deep breath, relax and do what you know!

Good luck!

Cmoore, I can see by your age why you would say something like that. Please let us know what difference it makes?
