Full Exam FAIL

Tip #1: Remember to do it on a 250.

Unless you have a legal exemption for what you are riding and have it in your pocket...

Which makes them ever so nervous... my instructor looked more scared than me... I think I spent some time calming HIM down

edit: ah yes, I remember. I had a zx7r, bit bigger and faster looking than your average 250 He said, very warily, now remember, you can't speed away, because if you lose me, you fail... umm... duh?

A bike larger than a 250 fitting in a pocket, that I'd like to see!

Also, if you're unsure about something talk to the instructor beforehand.

A mate of mine failed for not putting his feet down at a stop sign (Even though technically he was 'stopped') So I simply asked the instructor what he was looking for in that instance, and he just said that one foot down clearly and visibly touching the ground is fine.

Don't put your feet down on the u-turn, physically turn your head right around and look behind you when pulling onto the road, watch for construction sites with a 30km/h speed limit,

Makes all your movements very obvious. Because the instructors following behind you, he can't see your eyes, so when looking in mirrors turn your head towards the mirror, when looking behind turn your head right around, simple things like that. Make everything blatantly obvious.


Other than that.. it's actually piss easy, I was shocked at how easy it actually was. The hazard identification is an absolute joke..

Rang my friend and read him the comments here and Nagash has the sort of things he wants. Had some laffs about what others put.

Talked with him for awhile about it all and he is not the nervous type but has heard the examiner can be a dick. I told him to merge with traffic not too fast but confidently and to remember when to give way at intersections. Hell I still find some intersections a pain with some cagers not knowing what to do or turning when they supposed to give way. I dont know if a slow merge or being to safe at interesections would make a fail but not stopping before a stop sign would.
