Practical Test: Module One

The practical off-road Driving Test went live on Monday 27 April 2009 aiming to improve the standard of road safety for motorcycle and moped riders.

What does the test include?

The specified manoeuvres which take place off-road are; at least two manoeuvres carried out at slow speed, including a slalom; at least two manoeuvres carried out at higher speed, of which one exercise should be in second or third gear, at a speed of at least 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph) and one exercise avoiding an obstacle at a minimum speed of 50 km/h (approx. 32 mph) and at least two braking manoeuvres, including an emergency brake at a minimum speed of 50 km/h (approx. 32 mph)

This sounds a lot worse than it actually is.

The reality is it is a just slightly more complicated version of the CBT you will already have completed by the time you get to this stage.

Essentially it's a ride in a car park around some cones and that's it. Click here to see the layout for yourself.
