The New 2009 Motorcycle Test
Well we have all read the articles and heard the stories relating to the Module 1 test, which is without doubt of concern to all riders that join our team for motorcycle training.
Since the introduction of the new test using our specialist knowledge,communication skills, careful observation, and paying attention to details we, at Nene Valley Training , have to date suffered NO incidents as reports have indicated. In fact , we feel its is our fresh approach to teaching the skills required to safely carry out the specific Swerve and Stop excersise that puts us ahead of our competitors; the minimum standards that you should expect from a passionate and dedicated team of instructors!
Whats our secret?
We have found through talking and listening to riders who have experienced the test that the one big flaw is confidence,not in riding a bike (thats the easy bit) but in controlling the bike, something different!.But don't take our word for it, have a read of the testimonials , written by successful riders from our team of past candidates. We feel it this is the key factor in the problems that are occuring with the test and with our tailored courses we have great success in allieviating this problem.
If you would like to know more and want a fresh approach to your needs then call us on 01933 274794 for an informal chat or send us a message. See you out there!
About the New Test
In April 2009 the old Motorcycle Test of a single part was scrapped and replaced with the new current motorcycle test which consists of two parts being a off the road section going around cones and then the normal on the road section as from the previous test.
The test aims to marginally raise the bar to pass whilst reducing road deaths of motorcyclists by ensuring motorcyclists are capable of basic manoeuvres and handling of a motorcycle.
Module 1
The new off road section of the test requires specific maneuvers to be conducted at set speeds on safe off-road sites.
These maneuvers are:
- At least two maneuvers carried out at slow speed, including a slalom
- At least two maneuvers carried out at higher speed, of which one exercise should be in second or third gear, at a speed of at least 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph) and one exercise avoiding an obstacle at a minimum speed of 50 km/h (approx. 32 mph)
- At least two braking maneuvers, including an emergency brake at a minimum speed of 50 km/h (approx. 32 mph)
- Cones will be laid out in set circuits of either left hand or right hand and the route you must take will be explained to you before you undertake the test by the examiner.
Layouts of the course can be viewed through this link. You will be taken over mock ups of the course during your training with us.
It is necessary to have passed this part of the test before you can take the second practical test and you must present the certificate from this section when taking the second part.
Module 2
Module 2 of the test is made up of the eyesight test, road safety questions and at least 30 minutes of road riding. Road riding will cover a variety of road and traffic conditions and will also include normal stops, hill and angle starts so is largely unchanged from the previous test.
