Just search it up on google . Just ride at walking pace in straight line for 15 or so metres, that's the hardest one. Turning a corner etc. Weaving between cones. Emergency braking. Normal braking.

I disagree... weaving between the cones is definitely the hardest one! I kept running them over!

250250, the best thing you can do is practise slow-speed riding. Do figure-8s, weaves, whatever you need to do until you feel comfortable on the bike.

Good luck

Ha I wondered why you had cones stuck in your tyres :P. The main thing is just to relax, and keep your head up!

Basic handling should cover, start, stopping, braking, manouvering and controlling bike at slower speeds... the tutor will probably set out some cones and a course. Braking will be along the lines of ride towards the tutor and when he raises his hand you have to stop the bike as quickly and safely as you can

The idea of the basic handling is to show you have the skill to do basic handling of a bike on the public road (as the others have suggested) They do it this way because with a learner cage driver you have the tutor or cop there with you... a little hard to do this on a bike.
