When taking your <strong>motorcycle theory test<\/strong> you will have noticed that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very different to the<strong> car theory test.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These differences also expand beyond the <strong>motorcycle theory test <\/strong>and into the practical motorcycle exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">How?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Book Theory Test Today<\/strong> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The practical motorcycle exam is separated into two parts. The first is a manoeuvre based assessment and the second is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcon the road riding\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. The car test on the other hand is one continuous test with manoeuvres incorporated into the exam\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Why?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Riding a motorcycle is very different to operating a car. First and foremost a motorcycle is much more powerful, with riders much more exposed. Therefore, knowing how to handle a motorcycle is why the manoeuvres test is so important. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re unable to manoeuvre a motorbike appropriately you could present a danger to yourself and other road users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What does the manoeuvres test consist of?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A slowing riding exercise<b style=\"color: #000000; font-style: normal;\">, <\/b>where<b style=\"color: #000000; font-style: normal;\"> <\/b>you will be asked to ride alongside your examiner at a gentle pace<\/li>\n<li>You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be asked to tackle a slalom and figure of eight exercise, riding around traffic cones<\/li>\n<li>You will be asked to perform walking and riding U-turn exercises, featuring use of motorcycle stands<\/li>\n<li>You will need to perform a curve, whilst riding in second or third gear, maintaining a minimum speed of 30kph (approximately 19mph)<\/li>\n<li>A joint avoidance and breaking exercise at a minimum speed of 50kph (approximately 31mph)<\/li>\n<li>Performing an emergency stop at a minimum speed of 50kph (approximately 31mph)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>What you should expect during the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcon the road riding test\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Prior to the road riding aspect of the test you will be asked to read a vehicle registration number from an approximate distance. This is to verify that you meet the standard eyesight requirements. Following eyesight verification you will then be asked to answer motorcycle safety check questions before riding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Book Theory Test Today<\/strong> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The safety check questions were introduced for every vehicle relatively recently. Failure to answer these questions correctly may mean failure of the test. Therefore, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important to absorb all the information you can when preparing for, and taking, your <strong>theory test<\/strong> because therein lies the knowledge that you need.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can expect the test to last approximately 40 minutes. Your exam invigilator will check your identification and licence. Upon request, you will also be informed of how the test is conducted. You will then be assisted with fitting the radio and earpiece required to receive test instructions. You will then be told how they function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You will be legally required to wear securely-fastened headgear. However, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a follower of the Sikh faith exemptions apply if wearing a turban.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The test will begin:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c You will be asked to make an angled start (pulling off from behind a parked vehicle).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c You will be asked to perform several \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnormal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 starts\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (simply moving off from the side of the highway).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong><b> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/b>You may be asked to perform a hill start or pull away from the side of the highway while on a hill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Step 4<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c You will then proceed with \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnormal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 riding, following the road ahead, unless otherwise instructed via the radio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Finally<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Following completion of the exam, you can expect a question about motorcycle balance when transporting a passenger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Watch this space for part two&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Book Theory Test Today<\/strong> offers an intermediary service assisting clients with booking a <strong>UK theory test<\/strong>, or practical test, at test centres across the nation.
