Dale. Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Right, i have my MOD2 on Wednesday i'm starting to panic mainly because i can't afford to fail. I was wondering what i should be looking out for on the road if the examiner wants to catch me out, what sort of things most people fail on and help me understand lane discipline as i road around where they do the tests yesterday and i kept going in wrong lanes etc. Quote
sparkeh9 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Observations don't leave your indicators on Making a mistake isn't neccessarily an insta-fail, just deal with a situation approapriately, and most importantly, safely Quote
cypek Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Do NOT change lane on a roundabout. Its better to take wrong exit that fail And don't think that the examiner wants to "catch you out". They want you to pass and they just want to see that you can ride safe Bike examiners are really much nicer and "personal" than car examiners. You can have a little chat / laugh with them and they treat you like a fellow biker not another number in book Good luck Quote
Sean1986 Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 agree with u there sparkeh9 left my bloomin indicators on 3 times in my 1st attempt, Got me next one on the on the 18/10/10. But as everyone else is saying remember ur observations and just try and keep a good eye about for hazards and signs. All the best for you Quote
inversteve Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Remember test now has 10 mins of independent riding,ie follow signs for x for 10 mins or may give you 3/4 verbal directions to follow.Wish you luck.Steve Quote
botham1989 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I thought i'd failed (turns out the gap was fine for me to pull through, he didn't want to follow as his bike was as wide as it was long) anyway, I passed with 1 minor It's not over until you're back at the centre Quote
TC Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Observe the speed limit. but don't take ages getting to the speed limit. ie Don't do 30 in a 40 Quote
Guest Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 he failed maybe he should get back on his scooter Quote
