1. How do you filter?
2. How do you overtake safely?
3. When do you indicate at roundabouts?
4. Is the speed limit 40mph on all A roads? (the A1306 in particular)
And just an opinion based question - After how long riding a bike did you become confident, and not brick it every time you go out? (i was very nervous going out on the road for the first time).
I havn't done my theory yet and i plan to buy the relevant books soon, and do the test before my training.
Thanks for any help you have, and please dont slate me for not knowing these things!  |
1. You will be taught this when you go out with your instructor, and it's easier to explain in person or demonstrate than talk through online. Don't worry about it yet.
2. Same as 1.
3. Same as 1.
4. No. It is 60, unless indicated otherwise. I can't comment on a specific road that I don't know.
Given that you don't appear to know a great deal about road rules, buy a copy of the Highway Code and start learning; you will need to know this anyway before you take your test. It might help put your mind at rest a bit too. Also make sure you ask your instructor anything you want to know before you go out for the first time, otherwise you will be too busy worrying about all your questions to concentrate on your riding.
As for being nervous, it happens to us all. You will soon get to enjoy it and the nerves will soon go.
Good luck with it all.
