who can test you for your full bike licence

And then fail them for a perhaps dodgy call of too high speed on the road?

But does one really need a bike licence to tell if someone is speeding or not? The speed limit is there. The tester obviously knows what it is. If you are going to speed when on your best behaviour (assuming you are being as it is a test and all) then what happens when out on the road alone?

How do you get a "dodgy" call on high speed? Either youre speeding or not. Shouldn't be anything dodgy about it.

Unless, of course that the biker didn't know he was speeding and that indicates no throttle control or awareness of speed and therefore should fail.


huh?

He was told he was failed due to speed...what speed i dont know. The testee seemed insistent that he wasn't speeding, and it is odd (to me anyway) that the tester told him that he didn't have a bike licence and didn't normally take the bikes.... seems a bit odd if you are confident that you are in the right why admit to something that may make the testee feel hard done by and also feel he has a right to complain?
Seems odd that 'speed' on its own was a failure, maybe it was several instances... I dont know, only have the info secondhand.
I do know there has to be several instances of whatever you did wrong to fail you.... except if you try to run someone down on say a pedestrian crossing...and NO that was not me! But i do know of an instance of that!
Anyway have passed on the info to the person...hopefully they can use it however they see fit, cheers for your help guys! Always nice to know we have such a wealth of info out there in KB land
