Airfield Motorcycle Training - Module 1 Test

The new Module 1 test for motorcycles and mopeds (which will have to be passed before taking the full practical test) became operational on the 27th April.

Various maneouvres are carried out in an off-road environment, amongst them being wheeling the machine, slow riding, figure of 8, slalom, u-turn, avoidance excercise, and an emergency stop from 32 mph.

There has been a lot of extremely negative media coverage associated with this test. Most of the scare stories you may have heard are focussed around the avoidance exercise (it's not a swerve test!) and are unfounded. With correct training and preparation, there really is nothing difficult or dangerous about this test, especially now as we can offer a package that includes practice on the official test area.
