Mod 2 - Mock Test with Commentary & Advice - 2 

Congrats! That's the way to go haha, go have some fun. Anything you're interested in particular?

I was at the scottish motorbike show yesterday and seen some stunning bikes. MV Agusta brutal is a stunning looking bike but super expensive there’s no way I could buy 2 bikes without the boss going mental and I like having my dinner lol I Liked the triumph tiger 800 sadly did not see bmw at the show they missed a trick wanted to see the 750GS going to go for a test ride on both at some point over the next few weeks possibly picking up a second hand bike for first bike ? Weirdly was looking at triumph street triple but not sure after getting on one now ?..

Sweaty or sweety? 😂

Late here but congrats 👏 Glad you're having fun and only happy to have helped!

Ah shame, you'll get it next time for sure! Yeah that's why i tried emphasising that point at the end of my live mod 2 video

No problem man, glad I've helped. Good luck and hope it goes well!

Did you pass....

@@C9S1 Thanks man!

@@WorldMinuteOne It's on Friday!

@@M.R1429 best of luck

Doing the same lol, mine is Wednesday coming

@@SuperRustyCookie good luck, I passed :)

@@FuchsiaShock i got mine on tuesday. Passed mod 1 yesterday - i went in knowing that i will fail - and i nearly put my foot down during u turn but fortunately passed with no minors. Any tips for mod 2? i am just going out to practice now.

@@arshadvohora don't be afraid. Mod 2 is just riding with biker friend. Do all checks. If in doubt about the speed limit, go 30. Regularly spaced lamp posts are 30 unless it says otherwise. Don't indicate too early. Good luck!

Exactly it's a government sham, they should make the CBT last indefinitely for 125cc but con more money out of people.😂

@@techtinkerin sounds like you ride a 125 on a CBT

That's the correct line for a left turn. Another way to let people know where you're going and stops people undercutting you.

Slaves to the system

Stupid mate. Makes the idea of a test far more daunting as it’s all so contrived. It’s like trying to remember lines and moves for a fucking theatre performance.

@@SwashbucklingPirate93 Lol your comment couldn't be more accurate

Right but if you wanna experience ‘real world riding’ India will be your best choice 😁😂

Hoping it was meant to be haha. How did it go?

The Future mod 1 no faults, mod 2 no faults :) so proud of my self haha

I only use this in every day riding when I'm stopped and I'm pulling away (as I don't agree it's necessary) but DVSA teach you to do it any time you change speed. When slowing down you should always do it however of course, test or no test. It's so you're aware if there any vehicles behind you in the event of overtaking, having to break sharply and other things more probable to happen when accelerating. It's excessive though as mentioned as you're already going to be doing rear mirror checks regardless in these events. I guess it's so you don;t get 'caught out' or surprised when a car's there when you didn't expect it to be. There's a whole range of other bs stuff they teach tbh...where I'm sure advanced motorcyclists can agree on is not necessary as it detracts from the more important things.

You may have someone overtaking.

Andrew Sheldon well done mate! First time? Got mine next month 😬

@@anthonydickinson3502 When's yours? Mines on the 17th of December. Can't wait!

I'm confused with your question

@@C9S1 I'd like to know if the instructors are good

@@gingador21 Most of them are good, and most offer trials, which in turn also test how you much training you need. Try out a few local ones, a quick Google search is all you need, and once you've met / ridden with them it's easy to see who the good ones are. Also depends what your budget is.

I’ve passed a couple of weeks ago and they want you to check mirrors before increasing speed (and before decreasing)

Yes, there's a lot of overlap if you remove the bike related things such as positioning. Anything in specific you were thinking about, like speed?

It's a Suzuki gladius sfv 650 :)

1. 7:55 You're right, it's better to have just gone around the roundabout then back out. I actually made a similar mistake in my Mod 2 and did not even get a minor for it (although it was a mini roundabout and positioned so it made sense to be in lane 2) but at most you'd get would be a minor for lane positioning, as long as you're not causing any extra danger to other drivers. It's really is a common sense thing, so don't worry about that too much especially regards to unmarked ones or mini roundabouts. 2. Absolutely not. Stopping in front of entrances / dropped kerbs while riding normally is perfectly acceptable and actually almost impossible to avoid in the city / rush hour! Obviously the only exceptions being yellow box junctions, or 'keep clear' signs (btw keep clear in the real world is not-enforceable and is merely a suggestion) but in your test you could potentially get a minor for stopping in one for impeding flow of traffic. And also again this only applies when you're riding, not if you get asking to pull over where safe (in which case you have to avoid dropped kerbs / driveways and ofc double yellow lines - the examiner might tell you not to worry about single yellow lines like in my test. Hope that clears that up

@@C9S1 : Thank You; i try to collect as much useful info as possible to pass mod2 smoothly. Your comment is one of them.:) I appreciate it.

What are the chances! I'm glad you found it helpful, my post-lockdown project is that I'm going to try and create an updated mod 1 / mod 2 guide, similar to the old series! Much need. But you'll probably have long passed yours since haha Good luck and let me know how it goes 🤞

No problem at all glad it's helped! Check out my playlist if you're looking for the whole guide 😁

Emptiest roads compared to where in particular 😂

How’s it go!

I passed! I’ve had 9 months of pure bliss on the roads, and purchased my new big big bike last month, a Tracer 9GT 😍

@@suzymckee well done! I just passed my theory test yesterday. Just need to buy a bike now and do the tests! How where they? I bet the nerves coming up to the mods are bad but once you are doing it you calm down.

@@DerKaktusAvant Well done my friend! 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Don’t know your situation, but I was a 30yr old mum of 3, with hubby working away…it was so stressful for me juggling home life, work and training/tests. Make sure you have a period in between tests to focus on yourself, get your head in a good place, but most importantly…find a bike school that you vibe off of, that is the single key to doing well. I personally didn’t gel with my 125, I wanted to be like the big kids 😄 so over a period of 3 months I knocked all of my tests out, passing all first time. I went for 3 mod one practice sessions, they said I didn’t need it, but I felt better in my mind. Keep your feet tucked right in when hazard avoidance…I booted the cone but it didn’t fall haha Mod 2 I only had one session, but I’m a car driver, so again practice until you’re blue in the face. Concentrate on your indicators and cancellations, and make progress. It’s quite intimidating having the DAS bike lights behind you, so I played a game of burning him off at each roundabout and junction to get a breather from him, he said I made good confident pull outs and made good progress so that was a bonus hehe Aim in your mind for when you want to pass by, that gave me something to work towards, or else you just bimble along as you are. Good luck, and keep me posted ☺️

@@suzymckee thanks for the advice. I am 20 years old, passed my car test less than a month after I turned 17! My family owns a farm so have been on bikes and in cars all my life. Been watching lots of videos about the tests and I think I’ve got it. Think I’ll go for the tests and if I fail I’ll do a lesson. I like the idea of pulling away at junctions and roundabouts, as long as you are doing it safely I guess they don’t really care. Thanks again, stay safe out there! I’ll definitely let you know - I want to pass by the end of may so expect my reply to be around then!

That's what mock tests are for! Which bit was missed, as far as I'm aware - small / minimal changes in positions don't require it, only a mirror check

The Future I passed my test just before Christmas and I was taught if there is a parked car or you are going to turn left or right you have to check your sides. Pretty much anything requires a life saver. Thats just what i was taught rightly or wrongly. That said I’ve been driving for a decade and i wont be doing checks as often as I was taught because I feel like you get this mental image when you are on the road and it’s only when I instinctively feel I need to update this image that I make extra checks.

You need to do the A2 category (all categories require mod 1 and mod 2 - the tests are the same apart from you're on a bigger or smaller bike etc)

@@C9S1 thank you

As many as you like or none. Just train or 125cc and then borrow friends bike or something.

Yeah technically 0 but a few couple hours days should be enough for most! Or full days if you have 0 experience. You can get up to speed really quickly with the right instructors

it's not a standard test route, it was just a short mock. also there's no point memorising a single route in an area as there so many different ones / combinations

@@C9S1 thanx for the reply
