Test tips

Mate of mine is going for his test on Tuesday.

Top Tips Please.

Relax and if you do something wrong don't panic. How you recover from a mistake is just as imoprtant as not making one in the 1st place.

I'm no help at all really - took mine so long ago it's bound to be different. Concur with BB though - if he can relax he's halfway there.

Some body gave me this tip. When you are actually riding round on your test, say OUTLOAD in your lid what you are actually doing and thinking all the time IE "Keep to 30 MPH there is a junction on the left and a change of speed I can see, watch out for that dog, I'm now slowing down to 20 because of that hazard. Oh now the hazard has gone I can safely accelerate up to the limit Yada YadaYad" etc etc all the way through the test it’s like if you say what you see, it keeps you in the moment. Where as now when I am riding alone it’s all pretty subliminal. On your test you just gota follow the rules to the letter for 45 mins. A good way of doing that is hearing it all the time in your lid.

Obviously forget all that as soon as you've passed, because it bears no resemblance to real riding.

Just remember to relax and concentrate on a central point in the road when doing the u-turn.

Just remember to relax and concentrate on a central point in the road when doing the u-turn.

Or pick a point which is where you want to end up Just don't fixate on the kerb! LOL!

Was it a pass?

[blurbiker247]

yes he passed, he thanks you all for the tips, said they were very helpful, as soon as he gets time he will be visiting the forum.

[BB]

He should make time - we are well worth visiting! Where else would he find such a [s]disparate bunch of nutters[/s] - sorry, such a lovely varied bunch of people socialising together! 8-)
