These are the excercises that have to be done in the Netherlands if you want to get your license. Can't get google to translate the website so here's a little recaps:

• It is mandatory that you complete at least one excercise from each cluster
• The examiner chooses three exercices you have to complete

So in total 7 excercises have to be done with confidence and up to standard. If you give the examiner the idea that you're not in control of the bike, you fail. If you can't get it right on a second try... you fail. (no pressure there)

Cluster 1:

Parking the bike, you'll have to push it back into a carpark. (Can't be on the bike)


Cluster 2:

Slow slalom (mandatory) - Done at walking pace, with your feet on the pegs and without touching the cones


Riding out of a parking space - Sharp corner to either left or right without losing balance


Figure 8 - Write a nice smooth number at a constant speed within a rectangle


Riding at walking pace in straight line - keep your feet on the pegs and don't go faster than the person walking next to you


U-Turn - speaks for itself


Cluster 3:

Evasive manouver (Mandatory) - You're riding 50km/h and oh shit there's a truck/car whatever suddenly on your side of the road. Miss that shitty driver and get back to your own side of the road before you hit the wall.


Quick slalom - min. speed 30km/h and do it smoothly


Delay excercice O.o - from a full stop you speed up to 50km/h, slow down to 30km/h after the gate and shift down at least once, and navigate the cones that follow at that speed.


Cluster 4:

Emergency stop (Mandatory) - min. speed is 50km/h and stop as quickly as you can with the shiny parts up and the rubber on the road


Precision stop - min. speed 50km/h and stop at predetermined spot.


Brake excercise - Just regular braking, just before you come a complete stop you downshift to first so you can ride off again. (think of it as a traffic light excercise or something

-----------------------
If like me you started with your motorcycle license, you're not allowed on the road unless you got your vehicle control certificate.
If you already have another license it's up to the instructor whether or not he thinks you got enough control over the bike to take you out for a ride on the road. And even then it usually consists of riding to and from the storage to training area.

Wow that is a lot more intensive than here!

[Juniper]

Wow ok so theres a few we havent tried yet.

I'm keen for tonight. Anyone else?

[jeeron]

If my neck decides to start working the way it should I`ll be around.

These are usually taught in 4 mornings before you do the exam. Works like a charm, you got a good a idea of what the bike can do and cornering goes reasonably smooth from the get go.

My bike is in getting it's 12000km service done today, so if the weather is good I'll be along to get rid of the feeling of riding a terrible loan bike.
