Restricted Licence HELP ME

[knight rider]

I've had my Learner licence for 6 months now so have booked my restricted licence for Friday16th. I'm nearly pooing in my pants as I am so nervous about sitting it as I have no idea what they will be looking for as i ride. I have been told 3 things what not to do

* Do not lane split
* Do not drag any wana be boyracers at the lights
* Do not pull weelies (yes I can weelie my cbr250rr)

Anyone know what I SHOULD do? I've also been told to

* check my blind spot by indicating, checking my mirror & then turning my head to the side to make sure no ones there then turning into the right lane.
* don't put my foot on the ground until the bike has come to a full stop first.

Anyone whos has recetly sat their restricted please give me some advice. Especially if you failed on something let me know so I don't make any mistakes.

Thanks kiwi bikers

Both feet on the ground, check your streets and stay on the speed limit

Is that you Hoff?? Make sure you get a woman tester and ride the bike with your shirt off....it's always worked for you before....

do I put both feet on the ground at the same time or my left one first & right one last? as the right foot is on the rear brake. also when accelarating do I lift both feet off the ground at the same time?

Not having a class 6 is a problem for most of them.

Stopping - put both feet on the ground and make sure the bike aint moving at all.

Indicating - Make sure you do it and then turn them off. Especially at roundabouts when exiting them.

Speed - Keep to the correct speed limit.

Lanes - Stay more to the middle of the lane, rather than to the far left or near the white line.

Lights - Stop even if they turn ORANGE and especially when they are RED.
They can fail you for failing to stop on a orange (depending on the tester)

Mirrors - Check them regularly - cos the tester may be in a car and indicating to you ahead of time. Also if the taking off place is in a parking lot, use indicators in there as well and exiting the parking lot.

L Plate - Make sure it is on your bike BEFORE you go there.

Polite - Be damned polite to the tester when you greet them, but dont over do it thou.

License - Have it on you and also a ph bill or something like a ph bill with your home address on it.

Bike - Make sure it has a current Rego'd and current WOF on it. Also make sure everything is working and nought is hanging off it.

Take off - Take a few deep breathes before you take off and have fun.

Good luck its a breeze and you will pass no sweat.

Go out and practice riding 100% legally, like you would in the test. You'll probably be surprised at the 'bad' habits you've got into without even realising.

..or work for dx-mail: despite the racing along footpaths at 30km/h, and jumping off footpaths, smoking it up on the grass, etc, everything else fits 100% legal, especially indicating, and checking spots (driveways, etc)
