Fletch44 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hi All, new to the forum so firstly hello everyone. was hoping for a bit of advice. I have my mod 1 training Tuesday and test Wednesday but the weather forecast is freezing conditions. Is it likely they will cancel?

Any advice would be really great thanks fletch Unlikely, main roads are usually treated and volume of traffic keeps it running (normally), mod 1 will depend on state of play on test site, winter comes around every year, your school would be best ones to ask.

Fiddlesticks Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Hi and welcome. Had the same thing on mine. Went to the school first thing and they called the centre. If it's properly frosty they could well cancel it, but it will just be how things look on the day. All the best with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Davey Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Welcome, and good luck Tuesday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Joe Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The test centre for Mod 1 is probably the best surface you'll ever ride on. Unless frost / ice is still on the centre test pad, it should still go ahead. Take your time, have faith in your tyres and allow for the conditions. And most of all ... good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackholesun Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Might be a bit late but heated gloves would be great as I did mine in the cold and I wanted to chop my hands off after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait. You have to look over your right shoulder when turning left? It's been a long time since I did my test! Good luck with your re-test. At least you know you're doing everything else right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a roundabout if there's a lane to the right of you then that's where the baddies could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
