Tips NEEDED for Learner's Scratchy test!

[DJ DOOWOP]

WOW,.....allot of helpful people here Bikers are nicer then caged monkeys...haha...
1. I've been driving for 15 years so not a stranger to the road code, but can anyone give me some pointers when I sit the scratch and win learners test??
Like any TRICKY questions that's specific to Bikers....

2. Can I wear contacts?

A helpful memeber recommended Lee Rusty to do my Basic handelling test...thanks...I'll give him a buzz

Best thing to do is get the Motorcycle road code book ($30ish), every question you might encounter on the test is in the back with page references for the answers....

[emaN]

Contacts are fine.
As you're a "paid up" & registered user, try the search tool - plenty of good info on the KB server!
As far as 'tricky' Q's go; the only one that got me was 'carrying a load, max dimensions' and all that... forgot to say that "it shouldn't scrape on the road"... The mind boggles...
As MisterD said, get the book and go hard!

[Big Dave]

Learn the road code and relax.
Read it, do the trial questions and it's a doddle.

Here is a doc with the answers for all the bike questions, (i reckon its easier not to read the wrong answers!).

Good Luck, its not hard.

There are a few hard questions and you will probably get one or two wrong but the majority of questions are straight forward and quite easy even without looking at the road code. Just read the questions thoroughly and don't scratch the wrong answer accidentally.

[cowpoos]

yeah...read and studie the road code....you'll be fine

I spent an hour or 2 with the bike road code and passed the next day with no questions wrong. It really is easy.

[phoenixgtr]

Yeah, most of its easy. Theres one dodgy question about sunstrike. Its worded poorly. Pull over and stop. Roadcodes very helpful tho

If you read the road code and fail you shouldnt be allowed to be on the road are you are mentaly unfit to be in control of a microwave let alone a motorvehicle...

[Sniper]

Good luck for the test matey. MissSniper hardley touched the RC and passed with flying colours

[tracyprier]

and remember, it's not a scratch-and-sniff thing

Good luck matey

If you get a question which asks what you do if a dog runs out in front of you, its not:

a) kick at it to scare it away, or
c) swerve away from it.

The right answer is to slow down, then accelerate quickly once you get past it. The logical answer it to swerve away from it, but its wrong (trust me...)

That's cos swerving is the wrong thing to do, there's no predicting what an animal is going to do so you're as likely to swerve into it than around it....
