My Mod 2 is on Tuesday in Uxbridge. I went riding around there all day yesterday. Anything I thought was odd in road layout (e.g. 3 lanes into 2 with no merge signs and poor paint work) I went over and over till I was happy I understood what was actually happening.

I passed my test in 1981 when a Learner with zero experience or training could legally jump on a 100mph 250cc bike with 'L' plates. Some of my young biker friends died or got seriously injured. Am glad that motorcycle training and safety has now improved. After almost 40 years riding experience all I can say is don't let your emotion impair your judgement, know your limits, and *think* 'what if?' before you act.

Got my full license the other day and a few bits of advice from me is to get used to be given directions from a competent motorcycle trainer who knows the area and look as far as you can whilst riding, scanning as far up and then down the road Continously observing road signs, anticipation of potential hazards and positioning of your 1,2 or 3. If you go wrong, go wrong safely and make the wrong turn, do not try and suddenly change your positioning, you will not fail for a wrong turn. Use signaling with life savers and don't forget to do them when your stationary and move off also Don't follow cars to closely. For The independent ride go to the area you are taking your test and get used to the area without any instruction for 10 minutes. Lastly and most importantly ride for yourself and how you would on any other ride. the examiners truly want you to pass.

When I saw the title I thought for a split second it was about a test for becoming a Mod. I passed my bike test in July 1972 and we had to ride and ride around a block of shops and houses in the town centre. Constantly looking round and hand signalling. At one point the tester stepped out into the road in front of you with his clipboard up and you bring you machine to a controlled halt. I was ridding a Lambretta SX 150. I'd already bought a crash helmet for my girl friend in anticipation of passing which I duly did. So, what would a Mod test be? I had my Doc Martin shoes, stay pressed trousers, button down Arnold Palmer shirt and a Parker, so I guess I passed that too. Great times in away that is hard to explain today.

I passed my A2 7 years ago, freshening up for the full A. I remember on my test being told to pull up where it was absolutely was not safe to do so. I continued and when indicating I got a scowling for not pulling over sooner. Then almost failed on repeated minors for "using my brakes to slow down". Told on lessons it was a good idea to feather the brake to illuminate the light even when engine braking. There was an argument between my instructor and the examiner regarding this but I didn't care, I passed! No matter what's going on during test day, it's just going for a ride on a bike.

I think a big factor is the examiners, if you get a nice guy who is friendly but not matey and is polite and welcoming then it’s already a better atmosphere. So many stories I’ve heard of people have rude, moody examiners which really put them on edge and made it a lot harder. I know they are not there to be your mate but kind and friendly service is way more relaxing.

I actually enjoyed doing the MOD 1 and MOD 2 tests and passed both first time 😊 don't worry about learning the route as did mine in Worcester for MOD 2 and haven't a clue of the area lol but then again I'd be the same anywhere,didn't really feel nervous either but found nerves are good as makes you more focused etc,my tips would be when slowing down make sure you use brakes as on lessons was like 'how did I know you was slowing down as I was using engine braking ? Don't rush when asked to pull over in a safe place thinking pull over straight away just look for a safe place without blocking drives near a junction or bus stop and if you don't think it's safe then don't risk it,don't always need to indicate when moving away but I always did just to make sure and it's best to anyway just make sure you cancel indicators,make sure you always check to make sure you've turned off indicator as don't wanna go down the road leaving it on,take time with hill starts and angled start as be easy to mess them up if you rush,try and look up through the corners trying to spot speed changes,don't switch lanes on roundabouts if you're in the wrong lane just go the wrong way as they can't fail you just as long as it's safe as you'll most likely fail trying to get into the right lane so don't risk it,get to speed nice and early as they like to see confidence and making progress,if you notice left lane going slow on dual carriageway then switch to right and get upto speed then get back into left when it's clear and safe as was one I had faults on during training, They're not looking for perfection and the examiners want you to pass and found them better then car examiners lol I had 4 minors 2 for appropriate speed I think going down country roads as held back at times as roads open and close so was trying to get to speed but also being careful of bends etc,1 for undue hesitation and 1 for steering and control as was on same roundabout near the end as thought I'd forgot to signal then lifesaver so made me go wide abit but other then that was a good ride and knew I'd done enough to pass as felt like I'd done well Good luck and all the best to anyone taking tests and people who've passed 👍

Failed my MOD 2 on roads I drive daily,I rode the bike like I drive my van, positioning was poor,safety checks were poor,my riding skills are decent it's my awareness of what's going on around me that let me down,not going to get too down about it,learn from my mistakes and I will spend a few hours driving the route again

Really unsure why occasionally I’m having issues leaving roundabouts , basic Highway Code , driving over zigzags. Think I’m going to get in the car and drive around for days in the area of the test

Thank you for the video, interesting and educational. Fingers crossed for me for the 7th December this year, hopefully watching these videos and riding safely will get me my license.

I will definitely be taking my CBT and module one with the learning centre that you'd learned with, as I lived just down the road. Also, I was a taxi driver based in Norwich, so I do know the roads quite well. Hopefully, I'll be getting a full license ready for the next spring.
