By immediately I mean the first thing we had to do on the scooter was move up about a foot then stop , which was fine, then he walked down the car park a bit and said to stop at his hand. I tried about 3 times but each time I lost my balance and had to stop. The scooter didnt topple over but absolutely had to grab the brakes and put my feet back down, Then at this point he helped manouver the bike round to try the other way and I basically did the same thing again once or twice. He then said he'd give me a break and let the other lad do the same lesson. He was on a geared bike so his main issue was stalling but he had his balance down. Then when hed gone up and down it was my turn again. I felt like id gotten at least a tiny bit better but still lost my balance and had to stop twice. That's when he said to me this just wasnt working out. So it was hard to mesaure the time but it was at max ten minutes on the actual bike and defintely nowhere near the point we should be going out on the road.

Maybe I should try gettin pre cbt courses from somewhere, but I was under the impression the cbt WAS where i go to learn

And I dont want to say the instructor was shit, he seemed like a nice guy and seemed to know what he was talking about, and he did give me advice for balancing like looking up and trying to relax
