(Hours 153 & 154)
I almost ran a teenage boy over today. I was approaching a junction and the sight was clear. I looked to my right as I was emerging left and the duals were slammed. A boy was riding a bike at some speed and when I saw him, he had his hand on his heart. He was shocked as much as I was. My instructor said it wasn't my fault, but I'm not happy because I should have noticed him and my reflexes should have responded much quicker. I told my instructor even if I did pass my test, I would never be capable alone. She then told me at one point, teenage boys of similar sort used to go out onto the test road deliberately to make someone fail - simply because you would fail if your reflexes weren't fast enough. For this instance, I would have failed today.
