How I blagged my MOD2 

Going off course is not a fail as long as you do what you do safely.

Just passed my Mod 2 today, there's not really a feeling like it! Can't wait to start shopping around!

I only passed my mod 2 because ironically I had thought I had failed in the first 10 minutes. I failed to understand the examiners instructions due to comms issues on a roundabout and had gone into lane 2 on roundabout where I was supposed to be proceeding straight, Only realised he said 2 not 3 when I saw him in lane 1 in his car at the roundabout. I just went around the roundabout twice to ensure I wasn’t being dangerous but i thought as I hadn’t followed his instructions i would have failed. Straight after that I calmed down and started riding normal as I believed I was no longer under any pressure as I had already failed in my mind. I got back to the test centre and was told i passed, with the only errors being that i went 22 in a 20, and not seeing a large pothole in the road on a negative camber turn i nearly hit the pothole but was more focussed on the positioning for the turn.

I enjoyed your story, well done mate 🎉🎉

I love this so much xD I'm dyslexic too and have had so much difficulty following instructors directions in training, like one instructor said take the "NEXT right" so i took the first right available thinking "oh the next one available, got it" and he was all "no not that one, the NEXT one!" so i thought "of course my mistake", then on a different day with another instructor they said take the "next left" and remembering my previous error i thought "I SO got this" and took note of the approaching left turn and disregarded it and continued on to the famed proverbial "NEXT" left. "You missed the turn!" cried the instructor! WTF!!!!!!😭 I passed my Mod 2 yesterday miraculously, I missed the exit i was supposed to take on a small roundabout that was a very small lane right next to a separate No-Entry lane⛔ and seeing the sign my brain anxiously combined both lanes into one mythical no-entry lane, and i completely breezed right past it with my left indicator still ON and the examiner was utterly flummoxed at my mistake and i thought for sure i failed but continued on to at least get some practice, and low and behold because there where no other vehicles anywhere near the roundabout it wasn't a serious fault and i passed! still doesn't feel real and i can't stop thinking about how lucky I was 🥶

Laughing hard with that story. Brilliant! I've had quite a bad experience on the day before mod1. Hit gravel on the road, panicked on a 600cc with no ABS - and had a nasty fall, bike landed on my leg, injured my knee ligaments and sprained my ankle. Went on the next day and passed mod1 with no faults. The hardest for me was to park the bike from one bay to the next. I could barely put that leg down so not many options in U-turn! I'm having my mod 2 in two weeks and getting stressed about it :)

Well I never , you little rascal ( great white lie ) .. and I thought it was only me who had anxiety y sickness as you described .. My heart goes out to all those with crippling anxiety, but it can be done as Don y Myself (Pedro) have proven .. Thanks for the video , thanks for the dedication…

Good move man! hahaha blagged the "i couldn't hear you" game haha!!

I also had my first Mod 2 in Kettering with the examiner in the car! Also totally threw me. Also failed me 😂

I had an issue too with u turn and feet. Cracked it once I was told to look up and into distance instead of looking down at curb/line area.

That was funny and you played it real cool👍

I got lucky in a slightly different way, about half way around my Mod2 test, we had to cross a very busy junction, I took my gap but he could not follow on his bike. I was off in the distance by quite a way, while accidentally doing 30 in a 20🙈, fortunately he caught me up after the limit turned back into a 30/40.

I’m a returning biker, who stumbled upon your vlog and had a laugh with this. I’d have done the same. ❤

It's not a geography test, it's a myth that you fail for going off route, the examiner is just looking for a safe ride that's all !

Hello fellow Northamptonian. Loved the story. I am currently on an 125cc and looking to do my Mod1 & 2 in November. For some reason they do not do Mods in Northampton anymore, so for me it is going to be Mod1 in Leicester and Mod2 in Banbury! Anyway, I was just wondering whether you have any personal tips for Mod2. It has been 27 years since my last practical test (car), so not too sure what to expect... Cheers and ride save!

I can ride motorbikes & have been since I was 15. I'm 49 now & always wanted to do my bike test because I love bikes. I have had my car licence since 1992 & I'm thinking shall this be the year I do my full bike test. I'm just so bloody nervous because I want it so bad :(

I'll remember that one for my test, if in doubt don't nod

yes going off course isnt a fail, as long as its done in a safe manner, To read your headlining title i thought you passed the test without doing anything haha now that would have been awesome.

Passed my test 3 minors. Took my own bike and had it all done mod 1&2 for £150. I had all the instructor company’s looking at me like proper racists, they hate the fact someone does it direct 😂

That was so funny 🤣

Hi there, did my cbt from the same karmez Northampton the previous weel and have got the new lexmoto rss125! Do you happen to live in Northampton as well?

What exhaust ? IT SOUNDS SOOO GOOD

😂😂 what a great story. Got my mod 1& 2 end of the month. Ive banked this get out if i panic. 😂😂

That was funny👍

A lot of people seem to say about the speed trap being an issue

Taking an a2 course next week with Karmenz buzzing for it

👍Good one Dom .

it seems strange to say, but I think that the only time i've ridden pretty perfect was on my Mod2 test lol, i made no mistakes and actually really enjoyed it, and the only comment the examiner made was that i was too far left in a left turn only lane, but said it was no biggie. I put it down to spending a year on a 125 learning, plus the great instructor i had and 3hr lesson the day before and the 1hr lesson before the test so key points were fresh. The mod one was a bit of a different story coz i did the first 6 excercises with no minors, but failed the last one, the speed avoidance, because my two efforts were 46kph when a 48kph would have probably been a pass, harsh i thought as it was wet, anyhoo I sorted it the 2nd time, albeit a few hundred quid worse off lol. but when i first started training for mod1 the bike felt so heavy and i was useless at figure 8's i thought id never get used to it lol so did extra training to feel more confident. btw enjoyed the story.

All this BS people chat about examiners wanting you to pass vs fail to hit some invisible quota or to have passes vs fails under their belt - the fact of the matter is, most of the examiners are riders and they have a passion for riding, they all want everyone coming through their test centre to pass. Main reason is because they love bikes and want to share that love. Second reason and probably more common among the majority of examiners: a fail means more paperwork! They have to write up why you failed and submit the information to the DVSA. Examiners might seem like they're not enjoying your riding or getting a bit fed up when it looks like you're going to fail and you've literally just caused them more paperwork 😂 Don't believe the BS, just go out there and give it your best shot and most of all, try to enjoy it! It's riding after all!

My left ear enjoyed the video and its breaking audio

😂😂😂 ooh this made me laugh 👍

Can a mod 1 and mod 2 be done on a moped?

you little blagger! exactly what I would have done, nice!

You legend!

👌😉🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂❤

I just listened to the whole video and still don’t get how you blagged you test … this click bait ?

Foot down isn’t fail, is a minor. You fail if you show you can’t control the bike.

This is just nonsense with you liking the sound of your own voice
