Re: New Style Bike Test
my 2p's worth..i've taken the old (33bhp) and new DAS test and to be honest the new test in my opinion is great,the mod 1 is fair it's controled and on a decent surface..the course is well marked and the instructors direct you through it very well.the old test carrying out manovers like the emergency stop on the road is imo dangerous especially for a novice rider least in a compound there are no cars or solid objects for pupils to hit.
as for the swerve avoidance it's hardly a swerve more like changing lanes and coming to a stop,people who are most likely to come off doing this are complete novices who've never ridden before and decided to get a bike license with out enough bike control training before hand.
the thing that depresses me the most is the price but if your serious its a price worth paying till you get it right
