Locking the either wheel is regarded as 'loss of control'. You can fail a test by picking up no minor faults. It only takes one serious or dangerous fault to fail. :

Also, the minimum speed for the carrying out the E-stop is 50km. However, the more you exceed the minimum, the more difficult it is to stop.

Bike test or car test, a skid is considered to be out of control. If the brake is released and reapplied, so preventing a skid, that is acceptable. If the skid is only for a couple of feet, that isn't considered to be out of control. If the skid is for 20 yards, with little or no front brake being applied, you're going to fail. It's incorrect use of the brakes, and in the real world would lead to an accident. Unfortunate though it is, it wasn't a pretty stop from V1per. :-?

Ok everyone, i know wot i did wrong, now its time to forget it and think about wot to do next time, less speed and back brake, stop thinking car/van braking, but on a good note, the thing i was worried about messing up, i nailed.

Thanks to you all

well done on trying viper......it aint easy, but the more practice you have at it all, the better rider it'll make you......you have done well to get as far as you have in such a short space of time and should be proud of yourself.

Good Luck for next time..... keep smiling and keep your chin up..... I had to after dropping mine 3 times......but sheer stubborness and determination kept me going and will continue to until i become a fully fledged biker...... so keep positive!!
