I have failed the required speed for avoidance twice now.
It is absolutely ridiculous to fail someone who is obviously competent on a motorbike.
It took me an hour to drive to the test on a huge 650 in rush hour ,pretty much showing everything you would need to ride a bike on the road. Even an avoidance at around 50 mph.
This MOD 1 is completely pointless and a way of gaining income for the government.
How and why would you be encouraged to increase your speed when a hazard is approaching. YOU WOULD NOT INCREASE YOUR SPEED. SIMPLE.
It's a bloody farce.
It's cost me time and money, childcare and alot of stress.
It's completely counter intuitive to do what they require.
Figure of 8 ? Slarlam (don't even know how to spell it, it's so irrelevant to bike rides).
Madness.
The whole Mod 1 is bull.
It should be taken with your motorbike school.
But hey no , they can only be trusted to send 17 year olds out onto the road after a day of learning, maybe on a 50cc pull and go onto a geared 125cc. Completely insane and unsafe.
1 hour on the road with an instructor. Job done.
Rant over off to book for a 3rd time .
