Sat mine not too long ago ... was simple ... the guy didn't have a headset so watched for him indicating when to turn in the mirrors .. (way to make sure you use them methinks) .. once we rode a little it was time to do the "stop and tell the hazards. He would say do this (like go to corner - turn corner - once turned pull over and tell me the hazards) ... things from the front, sides and pedestrians etc .. but also HIM ... then you may do moving hazards if you have a headset ... tell him what you see .. drive to start and finish. Easy really .. not much harder than the R test.

I did mine about a year ago, it was basically identical to the restricted, except I rode longer, did he open road section, and you have to identify all the hazards (anything that moves!)

Out of curiousity, how is the practical element of defensive driving course done when you're on the bike?

Agree with everyone else's opinions.

Treat EVERYTHING as a hazard on the hazard ID part of the test (Including the clown in the car behind you).

Obey all the road rules (you'd think this would be obvious, but you'd be surprised) including speed limits.

When I was preparing for mine, I did a ride with an instructer from Passrite. The guy was a former testing officer and pointed out all the minor things I might have missed.

Get some experience on the bike you will be using to make yourself more comfortable. Relax and have fun.

Good luck.
