What Will The Riding Test Involve?

Question

I'm going to practice on my own bike for a few weeks/months. Then take an intensive 5/6 day course to get ready for my Motorcycle test. My question is, what does that test involve? What should I be practising and mastering on my own that will help me when I do the course/test?

Things like U-Turning and such.

Answer 1

UK answer



"Module one



must provide all of the following valid documents:



•your driving licence with the correct provisional entitlement - both the photocard and counterpart document or a valid UK passport to support a paper licence

•your compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate (DL196)

•your motorcycle theory test certificate

You are free from having to give CBT and theory test certificates if you:



•hold a full moped licence gained by passing a moped test or accelerated access after 1 December 1990, and wish to upgrade to a full motorcycle licence

•already hold a full motorcycle licence and wish to upgrade it



Module one includes the following specified manoeuvres and generally takes around 20 minutes to complete:



•wheeling the machine and using the stand

•doing a slalom and figure of eight

•cornering, hazard avoidance and controlled stop

•U-turn

•a slow ride

•the emergency stop

There is a minimum speed requirement of 50 kilometres per hour (approximately 32 miles per hour) for the hazard avoidance and emergency stop exercises.



At the end of module one, the examiner will give you the result and feedback. If you passed, you’ll receive your module one pass certificate.



For module two you must produce your module one pass certificate, and all the documents that you had to present at the module one test. Module two is the on-road module and typically takes around 40 minutes.



This module includes the:



•eyesight test

•safety and balance questions

•road riding element that will cover a variety of road and traffic conditions

•independent riding

Independent driving and riding section of the practical testYou’ll be asked to carry out:



•normal stops

•an angle start (pulling out from behind a parked vehicle)

•a hill start (where possible)

The examiner will normally follow you on a motorcycle, using a radio to give you directions.



You can download a list of all the safety and balance questions you could be asked by the examiner.



At the end of module two, the examiner will give you the result and feedback. If you pass, the examiner will explain to you how to change your provisional licence into a full licence."

Answer 2

There is only so much you can do unless you are on a 125cc already and legally aloud to ride it on the public road then yes you will get rewarding practise.



Typically



Control at walking speed, braking, turning, moving off, the action of clutch and acceleration and hill starts.



Lifesavers, when to use it and not to use it too much and unnecessary.



Speed not too fast or too slow just right for the area and weather conditions



Balance



Know your road, like roundabouts (corkscrew ones), lanes, traffic signs and other traffic



Drive safety.



If you do not have a legal bike to ride out on the public roads you are going to find it hard to appreciate what is expected. You can not mock peoples actions, the whole point of the test is readiness and your ability to cope . I field does not have the same effect so Balance and Clutch and acceleration would be the only focus.

Answer 3

Periodic inspection comments. I cost 40 quid/circuit in Yorkshire. the guy could carry the c&g 2391 qualification. All NAPIT contributors could have this. An NICEIC organization with two hundred electricians could have only the single with 2391... an entire PIR (obstacles could be agreed till now) could be: (a) % out which circuit each & each change/ socket/ mild/ equipment is on. verify all terminations are the suited option, by technique of commencing up each socket/change/lights element, and re-making connections. verify all wires properly pointed out, with sleeving as mandatory. verify all wires are properly sized for the burden.. etc. determine that no twine is doubtlessly overloaded. which contain whilst a DIY-er installs greater sockets onto an cutting-edge spur.. determine that each physique circuits will disconnect interior the regulation cut-off dates, by technique of testing what is going to happen under fault circumstances. additionally: carry out an Insulation Resistance attempt/ "Megger" the circuits. This tells you whether the %insulation is commencing to degrade, and so whether if an RCD have been geared up, the probability of' fake' journeys. maximum customary issues pointed out. 'lost' connection someplace, which contain discontinuous twine in a ring circuit. lights circuits without earth. must be a classification II circuit (double-insulated fittings) Undersized earthing/ lacking bonding meter tails sometimes undersized. relies upon on what you have contained in the domicile drawing load... be conscious that the attempt could be carried out to in spite of version of the regs grew to become into in tension whilst the paintings grew to become into carried out. It shouldn't fail on there being no RCDs (except you have a socket exterior!)

Answer 4

Don't sweat it its easy. Its actually fun! You drive around cones turn right turn left stop. Get on the bike get off the bike walk with the bike release the clutch slowly. Its kinda repetitive but its fun i had a great time.

Answer 5

depends when you do it, i believe they are changing the test at the end of the year to simlar to how it used to be with just one module, but they arent givving much away because i believe they are still working out what will/wont be in the test. e.g swerve test and emergency stop will be on the road not offroad as it is not

Answer 6

in california it is a joke. too easy. i think they should make it harder.



also in california, if you take a certain course, you don't have to take the riding test.
