What are the problems people are having with the new test (module one)
  • So far the main problems I am encountering with the new test is that students must remember that the test is carried out behind a big fence with only you and the examiner, you must remember to carry out your observations before you move the bike every time.
  • The Hazard or as it is commonly known the swerve test has not been a problem following correct training.
  • Students have had difficulty in making the speed through the speed trap. This test requires good confidence in your riding. 
  • One rider on a 125cc motorcycle managed to obtain a speed through the measuring device of 61k , 10k over the required speed so it is more than possible.
  • Accuracy when riding on the maneuvering area you must not be complacent with your bike positioning.
