Teach yourself?

[Comrade]

is it possible to teach yourself to a standard you can pass mod 2?

I currently ride everyday to work, only real problem its in local town, so not much to challenge me like bus lanes , parking maneuvers etc, im currently up to mod 2 stage on teaching myself, i have no real desire to get a bigger bike simply as i couldnt afford one yet due to anchors ( kids, mortgage lol )

So if anyone is knowledgable on the criteria i must adhere to or if there is any instructors who wouldnt mind passing on some tips that would be very much appreciated!

It certainly is possible... I think a few of us on here have done it. You need to know what they're looking for, so check out the test section here. The DSA also have a YouTube series about the Module 1 & Module 2 which is worth a look

I'm not a bike instructor but I am a car one who passed his test year and half ago.

The things you will probably need to work on are.

Life savers--ie when and where

Lane discipline--ie roundabouts,one way streets etc.

Use of mirrors--ie when changing speed or direction

Road position--ie at junctions

Speed--ie doing 40 in a 30 area

Would recommend you spend a couple of hours with a instructor who can tell you your faults etc, and then practice.

Hope this helps.

Also don't forget to cancel your indicators after turning! can fail on this ..

it is possible

the only lessons i had was a ride to the test centre once for a mod1 training centre,

i scrolled through loads of youtube clips and learnt where to do my life savers road possitions,

how to not swan neck

i have been out with family and friends who have been riding for years and they soon corrected me when i done something wrong

[Comrade]

I'm also interested in trying to pass alone. For mod 1, i think I will be ok, Im practising in a empty car park. More worried about module 2. Is the correct procedure before turning, 1) Mirror 2) Position 3) Indicate, 4) Lifesaver 5) Turn. ?

You could start the way I did

drive a car for 750,000 miles, then switch to a bike

nothing beats experience, get out on the road and ride
