The New Motorcycle Test: Improving the Standard of Road Safety
From the Driving Standards Agency comes important information about the 2009 Motorcycle test. Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State Department for Transport, Jim Fitzpatrick MP, announced on January 29th, 2009, that the motorcycle test was to be split into two parts. The new test is designed to improve the standard of road safety for all motorcycle riders. This group, particularly the younger and more inexperienced riders, has a high risk of injury or death and many are uninsured. It is important to raise awareness of the importance of road safety and being covered with motorcycle insurance.
The new test practical will be completed in two modules, designed to exercise the riders ability to control the bike. Module 1 testing will be done in a safe off-road location and take about 22 minutes. What is expected? Specified manoeuvres include completing two manoeuvres at a slow speed, one of which must be a slalom. Riders must also complete two manoeuvres at higher speed, one in second or third gear at a speed of around 20mph and one avoiding an obstacle at around 32mph. Finally, at least two braking manoeuvres must be completed, one of which must be an emergency brake at a minimum speed of 32mph.
If a candidate does not successfully complete Module 1, he or she will not be permitted to take Module 2. Those who successfully complete Module 1 will obtain their Test Pass Certificate. The Module 2 test sequence consists of an eyesight test, a test of road safety questions, and 30 minutes of road riding. The test is about an hour, and a variety of traffic conditions and road topography, including hill and angle starts, will be covered.
By providing such a rigorous testing programme, it is hoped that accidents and injuries can be significantly reduced and also save riders money on thier bike insurance.
