The new test started on the 27th April 2009 following an EU study into motorcycle accidents.

The test takes place at one of the new Multi Purpose Test Centres built by the DSA.

It is an off-road test similar to a CBT where you will be required to demonstrate your competence in the following:

• Wheeling the bike backwards into a parking bay
• Slalom
• Figure of 8
• Taking a bend at 19mph and exit the bend at 32mph
• Avoidance and controlled park
• Emergency Stop
• U-turn
• Low speed riding

There has been a lot of bad press about the Module 1 part of the test, but it is not as bad as you may have heard. If you listen to your instructor during your training and remain focused and relaxed during the test you shouldn’t have any problems.

You will be given plenty of training before you take the Module 1.

The way in which we structure our courses means that you will be practicing the above elements in all your lessons without you even realizing that you’re working towards the test.
