CBT advice please - Never driven
waylon replied to waylon's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Hi guys, I am booked in to do the CBT and have completed a pre-CBT course. We went through several things like getting the bike started and moving, driving around a small car park, stopping and starting, changing gears, slalom and figure of 8. This was all within about an hour and a half. I was really, really nervous about it. I had some trouble with the clutch biting point and stalled the bike several times. None of the manoeuvres went smoothly for me, although I feel like I was able to sort of eek them out eventually. The instructor was a really nice, patient guy, and the other staff were supportive. So, I think I've got lucky and found a good school. I'm going back to do another one of those pre CBT things, and then hopefully onto the CBT. -

Thanks for your replies. Hopefully I'll be able to let you know how I got on sometime soon in the CBT thread. -
Hi, I am interested in doing the CBT course so I can make a short commute to work and run around on a 125. One of the things I'm concerned about is that I've never driven a car or bike before. I haven't even had a driving lesson (never had any interest in driving a car). From what I've read on the gov.uk website on CBT, all I technically need to drive a 125 on the road is a provisional and to have completed CBT? I have bought a book on the highway code, and I suppose I can watch a lot of videos on riding safely, what to expect on the course, etc. I'm just hoping it will be enough and I won't end up looking like a fool on the day! Anyone else have similar experience to share? Thanks
