MOD 1 (2022) - Full Test - New Rules - Perfect Pass

[@KingLies]

*IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU GO AROUND THE YELLOW CONE WHILST DOING THE FIGURE OF 8.* Test 3 is the Slalom, indicated by yellow cones. Test 4 is the Figure of 8, indicated by blue cones. The yellow cones are part of the previous test and can be treated as if they weren't there. HOWEVER You must NOT hit the yellow cones - this is still an instant fail.

[@celticridertraining]

I know many an examiner who would disagree if they feel you went around yellow cone because of a lose of balance you fail, also why did you do slalom and figure 8 so slow ? you put your self on edge of a stall or foot down and it gives the wrong impression to would be test candidates couple mph quicker and the bike is far move agile and manoeuvrable

[@KingLies]

Depends what bike you're riding. There is a fine balance between riding slow and riding fast on your test. A higher speed gives you more stability but you are sacrificing some turning distance if you're not super confident on that specific bike.

[@celticridertraining]

we are not talking about high speed we are talking 1 or 2 mph more, nothing complicated or over thought 1 or 2 mph more is all and it will be a different bike and the rider will relax, but then apparently I know nothing so however its dressed up, power, drive, throttle, gas, accelerate, clutch, rear brake etc etc it all means the same thing. as I said on last post I commented on I know when to take a break in fact wish I had not commented at all. So well done on the pass glad you did not do it in Newport as it would have been a different result if it was seen as a balance issue ride safe bud keep it shinny side up. and the grin locked in.

[@KingLies]

+ Celtic "1 or 2 mph" feels like a lot to an inexperienced rider, who has enough things to concentrate on without staring at their speedo. There is no evidence that riding faster will "make the rider relax", that's just your opinion. There's no such thing as a fail for balance, unless that balance issue results in your foot hitting the floor or a test cone. Please don't comment misinformation on my video that people will read and start to worry about when it's not even an issue. + Gaz Nobody here is stating that going _so slow that you put your foot down_ is a good idea, and nobody is stating that this is a slow speed test. You need to be moving at a steady pace to retain balance and control, and going too fast will give you the same problems. I passed my test with a perfect score, but feel free to believe whatever you want. Just don't spew crap on my video.

***** Since posting my comment I've taken and passed by Mod1 and Mod2 tests (with no minors) and now have an unrestricted licence and a nice big bike all of my own. My advice, relax and enjoy it. Once I put my helmet on, i'm in my own little world. Also remember, the examiners are bikers and they have no quotas to hit. They just want to see that you can ride to a standard where you're not going to hurt yourself or anyone else.

[@jamesajordan3263]

Just passed first time in Newport, Wales, with no minors. Guys don't be too intimidated, I was surprised how easy the test actually is. All I really had to remember is to do the lifesavers, but I was doing them almost automatically due to the test situation. If you don't understand something then you can just ask the examiner, as they are in no hurry. It really was easy, all you have to do is focus and make sure you have had a decent breakfast! Don't be too intimidated, it is not a trial by fire by any means. The examiners are wanting to pass you and the course is designed to be completely manageable by new riders as well as the bikes you will be using.

My favourite part of the test is when you accidentally ride forwards into your garage then have to push your bike backwards out of your garage into your other garage that you have directly adjacent to the first one. I use this daily in the real world. I’m always forgetting which garage to park in.

[@KingLies]

What do you think the slalom is for? They recognised the perils of the average motorcyclist having to maneuver around the piles of money between their two garages.

[@jakelaughton683]

@@KingLies is this before or after you see the dangerous hazard directly in front of you and then accelerate hard towards it knowing that you will need to perform an emergency stop to avoid hitting it?

[@renevp2]

I honestly envy you brits, in a good way. Here a frustrated spaniard, flunked today a second time the A2 exam (mod1 equivalent) here in Spain. People who pass the exam here on their first time is just 20%, the rest is just repeating exams, waiting times (month after month), bureaucracy, and a constant money waste like a leaking tap. I see your Mod1 circuit, and at least I can see an application to real life, with examples like taking a long curve and avoiding an obstacle, emergency braking, etc. And the instructor explaining you every step, everything is pretty relaxed, how nice, really (no irony intended). Here in Spain, the exam takes about 1 minute total: the first (slow) circuit is around 20 seconds (extremely tight lines and cones with high bollards next to each other you can't even slightly touch) very fast acceleration and quick emergency brake in a small painted box, and the fast circuit (full of obstacles), parts where you can break and others not, has to be done in less than 25 seconds. If you make a single mistake in any of both, you're out, imagine how many people can fail in 5 minutes (8 in a row, slaughter witnessed by myself today). Nerves are so tense that a number of people fail just in the first acceleration. So, we just try to live with it and know that this is just a systematic waste of money on our spanish government and a good business model for driving schools (no wonder there are so many here), until you finally pass the exam and leave all that crap behind. Hey, good luck to anyone who will do the Mod 1 in UK!

[@petermurphy75able]

Probably the best mod 1 video I've seen that will definitely help people who are going through it. I done mine 4 years ago and didn't know you could go round the yellow cone on the figure of 8. Well done.

[@craigdennen6193]

The most nerve wracking 20 minutes of my life. Have watched this video about 20 times and was an absolute life saver. Best one on you tube! Finally passed on my 4th attempt - all fails due to nerves - riding too slowly and putting my foot down on the slalom and figure of 8. I even managed to stall the bike on my u turn but had enough inertia to coast it around. The quicker stuff was the easiest bit and so I passed with a clean sheet. MOD2 now but no worries on that front as I’ve been riding a 125 for a while and am fine on the road where any nerves won’t be quite so obvious and will settle once going. Thanks for these vids, they are a bloody Godsend!

[@eskiboy624]

Tip for figure of 8: Ride the biting point and use the rear break to control your speed. Also, squeeze your knees together which will allow you to have more control when turning. Good luck.

[@booshallmighty]

Good advice, I'll add to that for those who may not understand what you mean. Don't use any throttle, most of these manoeuvres can be performed on Tik over only. Also, don't look where you are going, look to where you are heading too. If you look at where you want to go the bike will turn itself. This is vital when you you take corners at speed. If you look where you are going you will crash into whatever you are looking at. Look for the exit of the bend, no matter how bad things get. Throttle off, look for exit.

[@vtrmcs]

@@booshallmighty Nah mate you need some throttle, I'd say on any bike, let alone these middleweights. Slip clutch and use the back brake to control speed but maintain some throttle. If you idle the throttle you'll tip the bike. Gripping tank a little with knees is good, to a point, but the most important thing for figure 8, is to fix vision on the cone until you exit that particular turn, then move fixation to the next cone and so on. Counter steering is the proper way to engage a turn, but thats beyond scope for the test, although I've no idea why, really. There are certain advanced techniques that should be part of a riders armoury from CBT day 1, again, in my view.

[@garethdickenson3159]

The squeezing my knees helped me pass my mod 1 today. Great advice, thanks very much!

[@jcdrummer616]

@@vtrmcs gotta agree with Craig here, no throttle needed whatsoever. Just done my CBT 2 days ago and tick over is more than enough to get any modern bike around these manoeuvres. Keeps things simple.

[@GaijinGamerGirl]

No need for rear brake just look at the blue cones as you go by and around each one and it's easy asf, it's all about clutch control, the bike does it so effortlessly, but that was on a Kawasaki ER6 for my mod 1 practice of the unrestricted license which I have my test for today

I'm an american watching this and I don't know why. One thing I noticed however, the test proctor seems like he is a robot of some kind. Never gave a single reaction positive or negative to any of the tests. Not even a little "perfect" or "well done" after a single test. It's like he doesn't want you to succeed. Completely different from the instructor I had in the states. Maybe I got lucky, but this dude was the nicest guy you would ever meet, he was a motorcyclist himself and was actually excited about helping people to get their license. Not that it meant he would go easy on you, but he was actually helpful at least. And please tell me that they wouldn't actually fail you for not doing that dumb little head-check in the middle of an empty parking lot. I can't stand to believe that's actually a thing.

Has the bike test changed since. I passed mine nearly fourteen years ago now. Although been off the road and never had any points on the licence. Pretty proud of that. Passing my full motorbike test was to me the best achievment ive got in my life. I got through the bike test pretty easily. I found it easy to be very aware of surroundings and controlling the bike. As compared to a car which really struggled on.

[@wickedadonis8925]

A big thank you for uploading this video. This live video from your test was extremely helpful. I passed my MOD 1 test today! Just one word of caution for riders taking Mod 1 - one of my mates who took on-road training on a big bike failed his test as he put his foot down while taking a u-turn - he was very slow and lost control. Moreover, I think he was very nervous so don't let the nerves get the better of you. MOD 1 is easy and you can pass it!

The person before me (both mod1) failed for the same reason. When I went to the mod 2 at the same place someone else failed for it as well. Seem to be that and observations are common reasons to fail.

[@scubatricky]

Well done. Yellow cone is insignificant during figure 8, as it's part of exercise 2, and you've completed that prior to figure 8. So long as you don't hit it, then you're fine. Only thing I'd add regarding your figure 8 is that your head doesn't turn much, hence the wobbly steering. Look where you want the bike to go, not where it is currently going. Figure 8 usually has a student with their chin on their shoulder looking round for the cones as they turn. Hope that makes sense, not being critical, a MOD 1 clean sheet is great, but the slow speed control looked a bit 'square'.

[@danju07]

I thought this, but was told by my instructor on the morning before my Mod 1 test, NOT to go around the end yellow cone, as i could be given a Minor for using it twice (as you do figure 8 two times). Anyway, if you approach the end blue cone close, then go out wide, you have ample space, without needing to go around the end yellow cone as well.

[@scubatricky]

+Daniel J your instructor is wrong then.

[@danju07]

+Richard Howes If you say so. :) but there's AMPLE space to do figure 8's without being over cautious and having to use end yellow cone. That's if you trained properly. I just never took the risk of going round them, its not difficult.

[@scubatricky]

+Daniel J why is there no yellow cone on the other side?

[@KingLies]

Your instructor is wrong. There is no "risk" in going around the yellow cone, that is for the slalom test, after which no longer apply. There's more risk in doing a tighter circle and accidentally putting your foot down.

[@UnmuffledRyan]

I've been riding motorbikes for years, and only watching this video because a mate of mine is doing his test soon. I was nervous for you, i'm glad you passed.

[@nickjaxe]

I dont understand...on the fig of 8 you went around a yellow cone...should that not have been just the blue cones. Nick.

[@peterjames7594]

It's the blue cones, don't go around the yellows if you can help it you get a minor mark for that. I think if you do it twice you fail!

[@KingLies]

+Peter James That's not true. I passed with no minors. You can theoretically take as much space as you need for the figure of 8.

[@monkeypowermotorcycleadven4691]

+KingLies I asked at my test centre and was told would have got a minor if had done that and depending on examiner even a serious so I suppose it depends on interpretation of how much space allowed for the 8. Instructors who use your test centre regularly should know how it would be treated 😊

[@hardgainerbenny8201]

I've got mine tomorrow and I plan on using the yellow cone. My instructor told me that as long as you perform a fig 8 in the cones it's fine. No minors or majors... However he also added don't take the pee and use the yellow cone at the start of the slalom. Anyway if it's different tomorrow I will update - thanks for posting this, it did help.

[@johndoe-wr1fh]

+Hard Gainer Benny (Benny) and?

[@_______-]

Just passed my MOD1 this morning (second attempt) and this was a great help. For the slow speed stuff, best advice I had was to keep arms loose, look where you're going (not down at front tyre), good clutch control and a touch of back brake.

[@NutsKILLK]

how can this be the new test for 2018 if it was published in 2015 ..... just an observation

[@esiuol360girl19]

Because the test hasn't changed 😂 but yeah I did think that lol

[@KingLies]

I change the date every year, so people know it's still relevant. The test is exactly the same.

[@esiuol360girl19]

@@KingLies yep did mine 2 weeks ago. Only thing that was different for me was the weather 😭 (amber weather warning) lol

I have passed my Mod 1 today and watched this vid this morning @ 0700 am for the xxx time , I can't thank you enough this has helped me get my moves in my head in the right place at the time . 3rd time lucky and nightmare over - THANK YOU ..Nic

"Gave you"? Dude, it's not on the list of approved test vehicles.

[@nobby3265]

have you people ever heard of a "joke"?

[@cwuzii]

Very helpful video! Had my mod 1 at 9am this morning in -2 freezing cold haha. I watched a few of these videos last night at midnight, it was easy enough and went very fast, I passed with no minors. The videos definitely helped easing pressure so thank you :))

[@ILOVEHALOhahajk]

looking to start riding a motorbike.. how long is the process?

[@KingLies]

+ILOVEHALOhahajk Depends on a lot of factors. Age, years riding (I'm assuming none?) and budget. I'd recommend everyone to start on a CBT so you can learn to respect the road on two wheels with no protection first. I did and don't regret it. CBT costs like £80, you can do it in a day and lasts two years. During which time you can do your lessons for a full license if you chose to. Which will only take a couple weeks if you've been riding on a CBT for a year or so.

[@ILOVEHALOhahajk]

+KingLies ahh sweet.. well I was hoping to get it done in a fairly short time. I'm 24 but will be 25 by the time I scrape the cash together and convince my Mrs ha ha I saw also that you have to take another theory. I'm assuming it doesn't matter that I have done a theory for car and LGV? and will have to do another regardless. I have never even sat on a bike though.

[@KingLies]

+ILOVEHALOhahajk You have to do a motorcycle theory test. The questions are different, tyre pressure minimum depth is 1mm on a motorcycle. I think it's 1.4mm for a car, could be wrong. So yes it doesn't matter that you've done other theory tests. I put up a new video yesterday that will explain some things in more depth if you want to check it out.

[@ILOVEHALOhahajk]

+KingLies Yeah I figured as much.. will definitely have a look at your other video too man. thank you. excellent vids though very helpful, subbed.

[@KingLies]

+ILOVEHALOhahajk Thank you sir.

[@eskrimadorsgym1900]

Congratulations, when i took my test it was a quick ride with a hill start, U turn, emergency stop and basically don't drop the bike. They showed me some pictures of road signs in a book asked me to read a car registration plate and gave me my licence. This is much better but glad I never had to do it, well done mate, superb stuff.

[@Piietrek]

I've been driving a car for 20 years, I have my CBT in a few days and I'm panicked.

[@fletchly]

How did you get on? CBT is much easier than this! :)

[@Piietrek]

@@fletchly It was pretty fun actually. There was non need for panicking. Since then I've had two riding lessons on 600cc bike and I have my MOD1 booked in September.

[@kabeerahmed3164]

@@Piietrek did you pass?

[@Piietrek]

@@kabeerahmed3164 the mod1? Unfortunately not, abs failed and I locked the wheel while I was doing emergency stop. My riding school admitted it was bikes fault an they are wiling to pay for my next test. At the moment it is hard to get a slot, so I'm waiting. I am not going to buy a bike this season anyway.

[@discobassline]

I failed my swerve avoidance. didn't reach 32mph. I did 30mph in wet conditions. I wasn't told clearly about stopping in cones too. I stopped b4. doing again tomorrow. thanks for video.watched again and again

[@rancedavis5106]

What a joke, they test you on the simplest of things making you really nervous about doing the simplest of things.

[@jeremycubs8331]

Rance davis Because simple things are often ignored and taken for granted, it looks fairly easy but when you are being watched your consciousness goes up 200% and as a result you're more likely to fail.

[@Hirotoro4692]

Bro this isn't testing people for their ability to ride a stunt bike.

[@ruzzeii7639]

Thats the idea

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

Icansee u well then they aren't testing your true ability, just who copes well being watched and judged

[@TheGhosTech]

This is not a test. Is more of a demonstration of how well you can control the bike.

[@kevinmarshall8590]

Got mine on the 26th Feb, thanks for the video, I've never been on a bike for years, until I done my CBT a couple of weeks back, I've booked 2 days training the the test in the morning.

[@shunsloman9313]

Figure of 8 is just useless in the real world

[@tomk.williams1186]

It's just to show you have complete control over the bike

[@sirfaffalot9136]

Pfffft, moto-gymkhana? The ability to combine a u-turn with evasive manoeuvres in traffic. I dunno, maybe you're right but learning to confidently do the figure of 8 helped my slow speed riding no end. We did it with a little cone on the pillion seat and I got it down to a tee without dropping the cone or missing a beat. I still practice my slow speed stuff few times a month, think it helps with confident filtering in London traffic.

[@SuperMegaSheep]

Having achieved my A2 a couple of years ago i'm now about to do my accelerated access (or whatever it's called) to get my full A licence. I'd say i'm a confident rider and have completed a bike safe course with the police . . . but module 1 . . . god it still sends shivers down my spine haha. Well done on a stellar pass King.

[@KingLies]

Thanks man. But ugh, I don't recommend anyone to do an ARC with the Police. They are terrible riders. Just ask a reputable motorcycle school to take you out for the day and give you tips. You can often negotiate price and what you specifically require.

[@johnclifford8439]

load of shit did mine a few yrs ago easy

[@burtspacecat3735]

Got my Mod 1 8:15am in the morning! Thanks for posting this! Great help!

[@KingLies]

Glad to help! Hope you passed.

[@chrisbarclay7904]

Failed my Mod 1 twice now. Putting my foot down on the Slalom, and then 2nd time put my foot down on the U turn. Totally gutted as I had practiced with the cones at 2m apart for the Slalom, and much tighter U turns than you have to do (7m for the actual test). Just get really nervous, once that gate shuts, and it's just you and the examiner! The test is easy, just the need to find a way around the nerves!

[@daringfutures]

Thanks for sharing this. You helped me pass today! ... 🙏

[@terryd80]

Thanks for posting this, I passed today with flying colours and was watching your video last night for tips and inspiration. Looking forward to mod 2 now 😁

[@99ron30]

Thanks for this video, very useful video and well done. It's not so much that the tasks the DVSA instructor gives are particularly difficult, once you've ridden a big bike for abit, its just following all those overly complicated instructions under extreme pressure and nerves. And visualising those cones exactly as he wants you to. I was 16 in 2006, I did my CBT and had several learner legal bikes over the years and I did the bike theory in 2008 and I aced it, I should of done my practical before all this ridiculous module 1 and 2 stuff came in. But I got my car license and stuck with a car instead. Then did a CBT again in 2015 and had a 125 as a toy. Rented bikes afew times abroad, I'm a pretty confident and capable rider. Now at 33 I want to actually get a Ducati like I have always dreamed of, and I realise they are gonna be just be things you see in museums after 2030. But I've got to start all over again, there's no way I'm paying the £850+ for a direct access package. I'm gonna just have to do it step by step and figure out the cheapest way.

[@GSFuckUCun..t]

Great video really useful thanks, I was here today did my mod 1 test no faults, next mod 2 can’t wait.

[@KingLies]

Glad it helped. Good luck!

[@bennybright4350]

Hey Buddy! I passed my Mod 1 & 2 today after failing my mod 1 last week. Your Videos really helped me prepare, thanks so much and ride safe! (y)

[@KingLies]

No worries, glad it helped!

[@roymorrishx]

Passed my Mod 1 last week with 1 fault due to not hitting the speed on the avoidance and having to redo. I was sat in the test centre watching this video up until I was called in.

[@pj4254]

Great vid, thanks for posting. I've got my MOD 1 tomorrow and it will be only my third ever time on a bike. Videos like this are great for me because I'll know what I have to do and can just focus on the actual task. My instructor says "maintain steady throttle and just feather the rear brake to control the speed when doing the slalom and figure of 8". If you play with the throttle then you're more likely to lose control - a tip worth sharing for those finding it difficult!

[@311DannyB]

+Pete JI How did you do Pete?

[@peterjames7594]

I have passed both Mod 1 & 2 now and have a full bike license. Today was my first commute into London on my GSXR600 and I'm loving it. Mate, mod 1 is definitely the harder one of the two. I just watched this video and copied exactly. Mod 2 is absolutely fine pal the examiner isn't trying to catch you out he just wants to see you ride safe. I was convinced I'd failed but passed with only 2 minors. Have you done yours yet?

[@KingLies]

+Peter James Glad to be of service. Congrats on the test results!

zzzzzzz too slow swerve avoidance. the fucking irony. will update in 2 weeks 😂😂 but i can ride bike fine fucking teacher dude tryna 'teach' me how to do shit different like maybe get a bigger fuckin yard so i can ride at 30 when practicing lol. retard mistake no minors just too slow two times 🤦‍♂

tldr passed no minors second try. thanks for video dude

I've got MOD1 training on 7th July and MOD1 exam on 8th July. I haven't done much riding tbh but rented 125cc for few days and rode on the roads and quickly became comfortable. Been driving for more than 10 years now so some of the things are familiar. I've done an assessment at a bike school and the teacher told me 4 day course is enough seeing how I ride. Day 1 is MOD1 training, next MOD1 exam, after few weeks 3 day MOD2 training and 4th day MOD2 exam. Hope I manage to pass first time as I really want to ride my cafe racer Kawasaki z550 ltd 🙌🏻 thanks for your videos, they are priceless for us learners! 👌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
