Bike test tomorrow mod2

Hi again everyone, mod 2 tomorrow & i just cant seem to relax...
tips please

I was never very good at relaxing, but youve done the hardest part so just treat it as a normal ride but be extra careful with your observations and signals.
Best of luck x

Just treat it like a normal lesson. Relax and ride safe. The examiner is a biker too and they want to see bikers on the road. They are not there to trip you up, just to put you in real world situations to see how you react.

Remember:
Do shoulder checks before changing road positions.
Cancel indicators after a turn.
RELAX!

Good luck.

Might not be the best thing to say haha.. but i failed it a month ago via a roundabout and a 206 going round slowly... i pulled out infront of it* (i beleave it was safe to do so..& it was.. but he failed me for observation.. when i clearly sew it coming, he could of even asked me for the reg and i would of been able to tell him.

(i tired to argue my case, without being a D(8ck about it .. but i was to gutted i had failed and just left) one serious mark = fail.

Its just life changing as it will be my first proper license. (ovs done cbt bla bla)

See all above really! Mirrors, indicators, shoulder checks. Remember that it isn't like a car test, the examiner can't be making notes as you do stuff - they're getting a general feel for whether you are going to be safe or not and trying to remember anything that stands out. For example, missing one shoulder check may be overlooked (mine was marked as a minor) if the rest of them are good. If they're all a bit dodgy, the examiner will be looking out for a specifically bad one to fail you on. They are not going to pass you if they are worried that you are likely to hurt yourself. If you go in feeling confident but not cocky, you'll most likely ride that way too and you'll be fine

Good luck

That seems a good theory.

Just remember. They are not looking for good riders, just safe ones. I passed my mod 2, and I had a couple of juddering stops and fluffing my gears a little, but I was safe. Prove you are safe, pass your mod 2, and then you can look to becoming a better rider. Passing is only the beginning.

Don't be hesitant. But don't put your safety in anyone else's hands, i.e assuming a car will turn off because he has his indicator on.

Where I did my test, they always took you on the dual carriageway to see that you are confident at overtaking or whether you sit at 60 behind a car. It's all about being confident and safe.
